3DMark2003 patch v320

[Reverend]

Futuremark has released a patch for 3DMark03. With this new 3DMark03 patch, a user can now specify whether he wants specific tests that can run using ps_1_1 code paths or ps_1_4 code paths to run in either code paths. I'd also checked out the performance benefit of two-sided stencil in 3DMark03. A Radeon 9700PRO is used.

PS 1.1 versus PS 1.4 in 3DMark03.

difference with a fx5800+ ---anybody?

Yes, the comparison would have been more interesting on the FX family. I would like to see the same thing on a 8500 also.

Hope to see some more soon, keep going guys

Why? Shouldn't the FX show no change since it doesn't support PS1.4?

S'cuse me? Did I miss something or has DX9's ps_2_0 compliancy changed to the point where all pre-2_0 versions don't need to be supported in hardware touting DX9 compliancy?

I was thinking for some reason that their drivers ignored 1.4, but now that I think about it I was reading GF4 even though Evildeus said FX.
