Download Catzilla Benchmark BETA version





Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/19/2012 06:29 PM | 36 comment(s) ]
Here you can download Catzilla the BETA version of the benchmark. It’s being produced in collaboration with Polish post production company, Plastige, who worked on that Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition intro video. This benchmark is in beta phases. Catzilla is a cross-API benchmark designed for OpenGL 4.0 and DirectX 9 or 11, and the Windows platform (64-bit and 32-bit Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8).
Speed-test your workstation and watch a giant animated cat nuke cities with its laser eyes as you do. The benchmark uses a parallel graphics engine that takes advantage of multi-core CPUs.
A Teaser Video of the benchmark:

Love it lol
Why is my score so crap though : 4722 on Tiger preset
Edit : Got my score to around 5300 with an overclock on the gpu (1200/1300)

Its funny, looking the animation of physic i was think it is bullet.
I start to understand why physic on GPU is diminished on AMD cards. I will try use AMDperfstudio or the nvidia nvperf for analyze the threads used and the calls. And i see they still dont know how to put on profit, the DP on shader computing. ( AMD perfstudio, not because AMD vs Nvidia, but it is yet the most accurate tools for analyse calls and threads on a sequence like that )
oups i see my first score is out of the top 10 now, will redo one for get back there. ( intitally was 4 ).
But visually, its surely the best benchmark we have seen this last year. Its a real little animation movie.
Looks like it uses Physx after all.

How the hell did you get that score!
I only get 8400 and something. What is your GPU overclocked to? Are you using any SLI bits to get that working? (has anyone?)
My CPU is overclocked the same as yours and the CPU's are fairly similar but my score is lower than yours. Do you use Hyperthreading? What about HPET?
Please tell ALL!!! lol
Thanks.

The Vram is stock, but the GPU itself is factory OC'd it is a Gigabyte Windforce x 3 so I believe it comes with an OC'd shader of 1960mhz however compared to other GPus of the same 'type' I believe the Memory is actually a tad slower running at 6008Mhz.
I am sure the GPU has some overhead for a bit of user tweaking but just now I don;t really have any need for it.
Is your vram OCed?, what speed was your 670 running at?

How the hell did you get that score!
I dunno, sata3 ssd as main drive, 2133 ram OCed to 2.4ghz, gpu bios flashed to allow power 150% (300w) + voltage 1.21v (it boosts to 1.3ghz now), hpet disabled, max pre-rendered frames in nvcp set at 1, i'm also generous with the amount of juice the cpu gets.
here's my result with a vram OC of +550
There's more discussion in the Catzilla thread in the benchmark section of forum, be prepared to meet a 680 lightning there that can do 1.34ghz without breaking a sweat though haha.

Oh good, here was me thinking something was up with mines, the card being slower than advertised.
Seems to greatly prefer nvidia cards.

I think its because of the use of physx.
