    I got about 16 fps on a HD3870(fglrx) on standard settings. I'm more interested in the difference between Windows and Linux. I couldn't test on my windows partition as the stupid thing has de-registered because of a HD ID change and couldn't get internet and serial to work.

    On KDE the desktop messed up after exiting the demo. Fonts small and plasmoid-panels where changed. I have my desktop icons in a folder-view so I guess they would have been messed up too if they were placed at set positions on a desktop-view based desktop.

      Go to the KDE settings app and change the resolution back and forth

          64 bit does not help much, at max i saw a diff of 0.5 fps in the minimum fps. Too low to really gain something visable.

            My Windows install is a bit "fresher" than my Ubuntu install, since I rarely touch it these days. That could be causing the slow numbers. Also, on Ubuntu the demo does tend to run a little choppy at times while on W7 it's "smooth" for most of the time.

              This drop in performance seems to be only effecting the ATI cards. On Nvidia cards the performance is almost identical.

              To help push the tessellation boundaries just a bit further, Unigine has updated its Heaven benchmark to version 2.0 and introduced more robust modes. Alongside the updated Windows client, Unigine has also unveiled a Linux version, so we decided to take it for a spin to see how it both performs...

                Hi,

                I did some benchmarking

                Config:
                GTX 285 1GB
                QX9650 @ 3 GHz
                Archlinux 64bit

                Tested at:
                1024x768, window
                1280x720, window, 8xAA
                1280x1024, fullscreen, 8xAA
                1920x1200, fullscreen
                1920x1200, fullscreen, 2xAA
                1920x1200, fullscreen, 4xAA
                3840x1200, fullscreen

                    I tried to do apples to apples comparison. Dx10 in win7 x64 is faster and scores a higher score, but only due to peak fps. Avg fps is still slower and there is much more micro stutter in win7. Not to mention min fps in win7 is 6 fps for dx10 and dx 11.

                      there is some problems right now particularly on the ATI/AMD side with this demanding Unigine demo. From the Radeon HD 5000 "Evergreen" graphics cards that we have tested, all that is displayed using the Catalyst 10.4 drivers found in Ubuntu 10.04 are psychedelic colors.
                      So I filled a bug report about this and they say they are going to fix it "as soon as possible". We'll have to wait and see. But I'm quite surprised by this prompt response. I wonder if the fact that the bug was being spelled out in this Phoronix article has anything to do with it .
