sqrt(-1) Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) AMD Catalyst 13.1 is definitely worth the upgrade as it improves X-Plane framerates from 8.4% up to 12.6%. I arrived at this conclusion after having run the command-line FPS test on XP10.20b11 both with Catalyst 12.10 and 13.1. See below: X-Plane Version 10.20b11 (64-bit) AMD Catalyst 12.10 --fps_test=1FRAMERATE TEST: time=92.8, frames=5233, fps=56.39 GPU LOAD: time=92.8, wait=6.8, load=7.3% --fps_test=2FRAMERATE TEST: time=93.0, frames=2801, fps=30.11 GPU LOAD: time=93.0, wait=7.8, load=8.4% --fps_test=3FRAMERATE TEST: time=94.7, frames=2175, fps=22.97 GPU LOAD: time=94.7, wait=10.4, load=11.0% --fps_test=4FRAMERATE TEST: time=93.8, frames=2579, fps=27.49 GPU LOAD: time=93.8, wait=7.4, load=7.9% --fps_test=5FRAMERATE TEST: time=92.9, frames=4998, fps=53.81 GPU LOAD: time=92.9, wait=13.9, load=15.0% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ X-Plane Version 10.20b11 (64-bit) AMD Catalyst 13.1 --fps_test=1FRAMERATE TEST: time=92.8, frames=5674, fps=61.13 +8.4% GPU LOAD: time=92.8, wait=7.1, load=7.6% --fps_test=2FRAMERATE TEST: time=92.9, frames=3152, fps=33.92 +12.6% GPU LOAD: time=92.9, wait=9.8, load=10.6% --fps_test=3FRAMERATE TEST: time=94.2, frames=2390, fps=25.38 +10.5% GPU LOAD: time=94.2, wait=13.4, load=14.3% --fps_test=4FRAMERATE TEST: time=93.6, frames=2844, fps=30.40 +10.6% GPU LOAD: time=93.6, wait=8.5, load=9.1% --fps_test=5FRAMERATE TEST: time=92.9, frames=5515, fps=59.39 +10.4% GPU LOAD: time=92.9, wait=16.1, load=17.3% Edited January 18, 2013 by SqrtOfNegOne 1 Quote
