Unknown Soldier said:Ok ... if the X1800XT is supposed to do "SM3.0 Right" why does it lose to the 7800GTX 256MB ?

The single 7800GTX 512MB walks it.

3DMark06 has multivendor "DST" and "PCF" support.tEd said:I guess there is alot potential not used for x1300/x1600 and x1900 as i assume 3dmark06 won't use the 24bit dst and fetch4 functionality for the shadowmap rendering.
Also if they use fp16 filtering for hdr rendering nvidia will have an advantage as ati don't support fp16 text ure filtering and it has do be done in the shader

IbaneZ said:NVIDIA and a dual core AMD is the way to go i guess.
My "old" FX-55@2.8 GHz is worthless in this test. So is my X1800.
An X2 3800+ and a 7800 GT murders my score. BS.
m4trix said:Yea my cpu is also killing my score. Is it possible with the Pro version to skip the cpu tests? They take so long
Hanners said:Yes, it is, although of course then you won't get a final, overall 3DMark score, only SM 2.0 and HDR/SM 3.0 scores.
