Commenting on: What is AMD GeometryBoost?
Posted by Tony DeYoung on May 24, 2011
GeometryBoost in the new FirePro V5900 and FirePro V7900 is a unique hardware capability that processes two primitives per clock cycle. Each graphics engine is assigned to its own shader engine, consisting of up to 10 SIMDs. The results is a doubling in the rate of primitive & vertex processing, as well as back/front culling rates and scan conversion setup. It also doubles early reject rates.
The new 8th generation tessellation engine improves performance up to 3X in both OpenGL 4.1 and DirectX 11.
What this means is incredibly fast geometry performance for professional applications, ensuring smoother handling…
