OpenGL Geometry Instancing Test: Radeon vs GeForce

JeGX — Fri, 17 Oct 2014 14:32:21 +0000

This article is a kind of follow-up of this article that showed some surprising results about geometry instancing with two triangles per instance (particle rendering). In this article, I’m going to test geometry instancing performance when the number of faces (or triangles) per instance increases. The test consists in the rendering of 1’000’000 of quads with increasing polygon density. We start with 2 faces per … Continue reading OpenGL Geometry Instancing Test: Radeon vs GeForce »

(Test) Particle Rendering: Point Sprites vs Geometry Shaders Sprites

JeGX — Thu, 28 Aug 2014 14:05:55 +0000

Particle billboarding is one of the important steps of particle rendering. Billboarding can be achieved by using point sprites (the billboarding is automatically done by the GPU) or geometry shaders as explained in this article. Both methods produce similar visual results. But which method is the faster if we have to render a lot of particles (1 million or more)? To bring an element of … Continue reading (Test) Particle Rendering: Point Sprites vs Geometry Shaders Sprites »

UPDATE (2014.04.15): The scores of the AMD FirePro W9100 are available HERE. UPDATE (2014.03.06): there is an option in the NVIDIA control panel to enable or disable full speed FP64 support for the GeForce GTX Titan. By default this option is set to OFF. But full speed FP64 support comes with a price: FP32 performance is impacted as it’s described in the NVCPL: Note that … Continue reading OpenGL 4 FP64 Test: AMD Radeon HD 7970 Surpasses NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan (*** UPDATED ***) »

In my recent programming sessions under Linux, I used NVIDIA proprietary and closed source drivers (64-bit version, it was under Mint10 64-bit) without too much difference with Windows ones. Few days ago, I decided to test Dreamlinux 5.0, a 32-bit Linux distro based on Debian 7 Wheezy. Dreamlinux comes with Nouveau driver (NouVeau?), the open source driver for NVIDIA cards.

If this slide is not a fake, the Kepler-based GK110 GPU GeForce GTX 780 (no longer GTX 680) is nearly twice faster than current GTX 580. I really like the weeks and days before launch of new generations of graphics cards, because NVIDIA and AMD seem to have the same and eternal problem of plumbing… (source) | (via)
