Dawn FP16/FX12 VS FP32 performance - numbers inside

[Luminescent]

Quality difference should hardly be noticeable. I thought you guys understood we were picking out 4 inch straws from a haystack.

This is fairly interesting, coming from Carmack:

For just about any given set of operations, the Nvidia card operating at 16 bit float will be faster than the ATI, while the Nvidia operating at 32 bit float will be slower.

This is fairly interesting, coming from Carmack:

IMO, that's not pointing out FP16 units themselves, rather talking about D3 FP16 mode performance.

Now, i respectfully request a screenshot from each version!
TO see if there is a noticeable quality difference.

And is this the "ultra" version, or the normal?

Ultra, I might post a screenshot if someone gives me some insight on how to capture screenies at the same frame.
There's very little difference even between FX12 and FP32 so in order to spot the differences I need to grab shots at the same position and right now I don't know how to do that.
