Yeah, we really need to fix the timedemo feature and release a new benchmark. Then, hopefully, phrononix (etc) will use it and it'll put

pressure on AMD to improve their benchmark results. As long as there's no press about it, this will always be a low priority issue for them.

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

(Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

Yep, we'd wanna convince tomshardware, anandtech, kitguru, hardocp, or hothardware to add this to their suite.

guru3d too.

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

No, I'm joking, it's really the same.

 

Ah, try to rename to "Wolf2MP" and you'll have MORE optimization than "DarkAthena" :D

 

GCN+Catalyst performance is really tied to profiling.....

Why not to try Brink, Wolfenstein 2009 MP, Quake 4 MP and see if any of those have even better optimizations ? (since all of those id Tech 4 based)

@Bikerdude: Do you think you can explain to AMD about 13.1 atioglxx.dll performance boost ? (if you can tell them about BFG engine, maybe it will give them better clues, since TDM doesn't have break down on timing for various subsystems)

Im hoping they will have created a new profile for us.

Wolf2MP is the MP exe of Wolfenstein 2009 :D

I'm testing, see before and this one below :D

 

Quake4MP.exe result: Quake4_MP.jpg

 

And the winner is Wolf2MP profile :P

They changed something in the new driver package (15.5).....now TDM performs differently in some areas.

In some areas worse (or maybe I miss something but my system and TDM have the same old settings.....and I deleted the AMD shader cache):

 

15.4 Wolf2MP

15.5 Wolf2MP (29-30 FPS vs 40)

Correct screnshot (With FPS OSD). And obviously the V-Sync is OFF.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
