Poll Raytracer testing anyone?

[Artlav]

I've been wondering what kind of performance various modern graphic cards can provide, and what kind of features are commonly supported.
For this purpose, i put together a raytracer demo in GLSL:
http://orbides.1gb.ru/zray-100411.zip

If you wish to test it, i'm interested in what FPS (or what errors in zray.log) would there be in gpu* demos at full screen (maximized) and 800x600 (un-maxmized) resolutions, and how many seconds per frame cpu reference demo does.
Also, the data above is meaningless without specifying what GPU and CPU you have.

The thing should look like that:

You can walk around with mouse wheel and right button, and pause by spacebar.

How is that related to Orbiter?
That data can help me determine just how much shader-driven features being put in OGLAClient (Rayleigh scattering, volumetric clouds, etc) can still be supported by average orbinaut's hardware, for example.

Only the software renderer worked on my PC with an Intel Mobile onboard gfx card. The others show a white screen. The software renderer was quite slow - about 0.5 fps

CPU: AMD Turion ZM82 2x2.2 GHz
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650

zraysoft.exe - between 3.6 and 4 seconds per frame.
zraygpu*.exe - wouldn't launch. All of these start, display the title bar, then stop responding. When I waited long enough, gpux100 killed my display driver ("Display driver stopped responding, but it was restored").
zray.log contains one line: "Fragment shader(s) linked, vertex shader(s) linked."

EDIT: When I waited longer, zraygpu.exe launched after about a minute or 2. Results:
Fullscreen: 3-4 FPS @ 1440x900.
Windowed: 9-10 FPS
Remarks: There were no black/white stripes, only black background. Also, the balls seemed reddish, like it was with the red devil OGLA bug.

Trying the other ones too now.
EDIT2:
zraygpux10 and x100 both kill the display driver.

Also, I attached a screenshot of how it looks in zraygpu.exe.

Windows 7 x64 with windows classic skin and aero off, on top a Core2Duo E7300 overclocked from 2.66 GHz to 3.33GHz with 2 GB DDR2 RAM.
On a Radeon 4650 (RV730, 512MB DDR2, 320 unified SM4.1 shaders @600MHz GPU and 500MHz VRAM) I get the following results:

zraygpu:

Fullscreen: 18 FPS @ 1680x1050 (minus top and bottom borders)
Windowed: 56 FPS
Log: Fragment shader(s) linked, vertex shader(s) linked.​

zraygpux10:

Fullscreen: 2 FPS @ 1680x1050 (minus top and bottom borders)
Windowed: 6 FPS
Log: Fragment shader(s) linked, vertex shader(s) linked.​

zraygpux100:

Fullscreen: 4 Seconds per frame (manual count) @ 1680x1050 (minus top and bottom borders)
Windowed: 1.3 seconds per frame (manual count)
Log: Fragment shader(s) linked, vertex shader(s) linked.
Note: The window was still displaying 2 FPS. The 2 FPS in x10 are confirmed by manual count​

Log:

Fragment shader(s) failed to link,  vertex shader(s) linked. 
Fragment Shader not supported by HW

Only zraysoft.exe worked, with 3.3 seconds/frame.

zraysoft.exe gives me 5/6 fps and the picture rendering seems good. The others's exe, a white screen with a win alert "...the program encountered a problem and must to close".

zraygpu windowed = 6 FPS, Full_screen = 2 FPS

zraygpux100 (it rebooted my system, log attached)
zraygpusoft 1 frame in 23 ~ 24 seconds (avg 23.46)

Would knowing the GFX card settings be any help?

With zraysoft, the title bar said about 15FPS, but the screen said 'frame drawn in' about 2-2.5 seconds while looking at the globes, and 1.5-2 seconds when I moved the camera to only look at the floor. Moving the camera at such a low framerate was a bit tricky at first.
zraygpu* only came up with a blank white screen. I tried waiting a couple of minutes, but nothing showed up. The title bar gave less and less FPS for the increasing xNumbers though though. (x10, x100)

Both zraygpu and zraygpux10 had the following repeated many times in zray.log:

Windows 7 x64 (Aero ON)
CPU: Intel Duo2Cuo e8400, normal frequency is 3.2 GHz IIRC, I keep it overclocked to 4.0 Ghz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD5850

My desktop resolution is 1600 X 1200

-zraysoft.exe says I get a frame every 1.34-1.35 seconds

-zraygpu.exe says 64 FPS maximized, 64 FPS in the smaller window [is there a framerate limit or something?]

-zraygpu10.exe says 8-9 FPS maximized, 27 - 28 FPS in the smaller window

-zraygpu100.exe (after waiting for a few seconds to load) says 2 FPS maximized, 3-4 FPS in the smaller window.

Hope that helped.

[is there a framerate limit or something?]

Disable VSync as the default mode in your graphics driver.

Thanks everybody for testing, the results are somewhat discouraging.
80 equivalent FPS average, 270 maximum, while i expected it to be in 1000's.

zraysoft.exe = 1.2 sec/frame
zraygpu.exe = 65 fps full and windowed (vsync off)
zraygpux10.exe = 12 fps full, 28fps windowed
zraygpux100.exe = 2fps both full and windowed

no errors in the log file.

Artlav: I did see that you used GLSL, but I'd like to know how you drew the image. I'm not familiar with OpenGL, but usually there aren't any decent functions for drawing a single pixel in any language. (at least as far as I've seen)

The image is drawn by outputting a screen-sized quad in -1 to 1 projection. GLSL code is then executed for every pixel, with inherently provided coordinates of it.

Hm? Works here.
