CPU test的工作由GPU去做 作为一款mark软件 这是不合适宜的
如果可以的话 单独列出硬件加速的分数是比较合理的
E某一口抓住“Futuremark现在也确认177.35”你认为很有意义吗 何谓CPU test 我相信你自己明白
替考就是替考 没有什么其他理由可言
Futuremark的3DMARK Vantage的CPU Test从一开始就是设计为支持PPU硬件加速的,所以很明显这个测试不仅仅是CPU Only,而且是支持PPU硬件加速的。
NVIDIA GeForce PhysX 加速是由 CUDA 来实现,对于支持 PhysX 硬件的游戏来说,理论上只要升级 PhysX 驱动就能获得相应的硬件加速。
Futuremark在这个问题上的官方声明目前我只看到这个:
http://hothardware.com/News/NVID ... heating_Allegation/
Oliver Baltuch of Futuremark had this to offer with respect to NVIDIA's new technology, 3DMark Vantage and the industry as a whole:
"The driver in question has not been submitted for authorization and is for demo purposes only. NVIDIA has followed the correct rules for driver authorization and the BDP by sending us the 177.35 driver (the same as AMD has sent us the 8.6 driver), both of which are currently undergoing the authorization process in our Quality Assurance area at this moment. Only drivers that have passed WHQL and our driver authorization process have comparable results that will be allowed for use in our ORB database and hall of fame.
"这个被谈论到的驱动并没有递交上来作认可并且只是作为演示之用。NVIDIA已经按照驱动认可以及BDP规章向我们递交177.35驱动(AMD也一样向我们递交了8.6驱动),它们此刻正在接受我们的品质保证方面的认可处理。只有通过WHQL以及我们的驱动认可过程的驱动,才会被允许作为用于我们的ORB数据库和名人堂的可比对结果。"
Futuremark的Driver Optimization Policy for 3DMark Vantage:
1. It is prohibited to for the driver to change the rendering quality level, rendering technique or replace or alter any shaders or other parts of the workload from that what is requested by 3DMark.
2. With the exception of configuring the correct rendering mode on multi-GPU systems, it is prohibited for the driver to detect the launch of 3DMark Vantage executable and to alter, replace or override any quality parameters or parts of the benchmark workload based on the detection. Optimizations in the driver that utilize empirical data of 3DMark Vantage workloads are prohibited.
3. Generic driver optimizations that do not violate the above rules and benefit applications and games in general, are acceptable only if the rendering output is mathematically consistent with that of Microsoft® DirectX® reference rasterizer.
4. The default settings of the benchmark will utilize an AGEIA PhysX PPU hardware if one is available in the system. The utilization of the AGEIA PhysX PPU can be switched off and the result will still be approved as a default result.
5. Based on the specification and design of the CPU tests, GPU make, type or driver version may not have a significant effect on the results of either of the CPU tests as indicated in Section 7.3 of the 3DMark Vantage specification and whitepaper.
177.35驱动通过了包括第4条、第5条规则在内的整个3DMark Vantage驱动认可,很有可能就是Futuremark现在把 GeForce PhysX 看作是一个 AGEIA PhysX PPU hardware 来处理。
到目前为止,Futuremark 并没有进行 177.35 的 Cancellation of Driver Approvals:
5 Cancellation of Driver Approvals
Futuremark reserves the right to cancel and void the approval of any currently approved drivers if the driver is later found not to comply with the Rules and Policies defined in this or later revisions of this document. The change of the approval status will be published on the appropriate driver approval lists on Futuremark’s website. |
