Interesting demalion, that the PS 1.4 simple test is about 1/2 the speed of the PS 1.1 test.
That goes a long way to explaning how the Radeon 8500 merely "competes" with the GeForce3/4 in Doom3. (And can be evidence of the hardware issue in the 8500 that has been bandied about that impacts performance of 1.4 shaders.)
Aside from the GeForceFX of course, I would love to see someone with a 9000, and 95/9700 run this test. Will be most interesting to see if either of those chips improves PS 1.4 performance relative to PS 1.1....
On the other hand...I don't know the specifics of the PS 1.4 test itself....it's conceivable that it "should" be roughly 1/2 the fill rate performance of the 1.1 test.
MDolenc? Thoughts?

I just remain puzzled that my 8500 matches the PS 1.1 simple performance of the newer cards (Quadro FX 2000 and 9700 Pro...no 5800 ultra results with PS 1.1 simple listed that I saw)...
I'd think clock speed would let the 9700 pull ahead.
I am also puzzled as to why setting the Optimize (PVSCode and TexStages) to 0 gave me a boost (I guess my drivers on my slow CPU slow down the process by trying to analyze the code? Looks like the optimizer needs optimizing...the PS1.1 shader is very short! ).
Just FYI (OptimizeXXX registry entries set to 0):

A few interesting notes:
1) The Radeon 9500/9700 seems to have "fixed" issues with the PS 1.4 path that the 8500 has, ans the 9000 has to a lesser extent. The 95/9700 is executing the simple PS 1_4 just as fast as PS 1_1 shaders. 8500/9000
I would guess that the 9500 NON PRO, may end up being a significantly better Doom3 card than the 8500/9000, despite the fact that it has similar fillrate and bandwidth.
2) 9500 Pro is clearly bandwidth limited when applying textures. (Not unexpected.), though with pixel shading, bandwidth may be less important. Pixel shading performance of the 9500 is very close to the 9700.
It will be very interesting to see how different driver revisions affect the pixel shading scores of the GeforceFX....

About "Radeon 8500 ps_1_4 issue":
There really is no issue... As I have wanted to see at what precision GeForce FX executes ps_1_4 shaders (and I think we can now say, that at least phase 1 is float), I have jumped through few hops to move all the computation into first phase. Since v0 and v1 are not available I had to use texture coordinates... As we can't yet simply use texture coordinates anywhere we want I had to use to additional "texcrd" instructions (so ps_1_4 has effectively 2x the instruction count of ps_1_1 or ps_2_0). These "texcrd" instructions get scraped really fast for ps_2_0 parts (since they can use texture coordinates anywhere), however Radeon 8500 doesn't. It does seam however that Radeon 8500 can't do tex* + math instruction in one clock.

Why does the 8500 execute/issue PS 1.1 shaders at the same rate as the 9700 which has double the pipelines?

Hmmm....8500 results are odd in general....it's dual texturing rate is getting just over half of the single textured pixel rate.
They should be pretty close to being the same, unless the 8500 is horrendously bandwidth starved?

Looks like there are "official" retail drivers available for the FX:
http://www.nvnews.net/#1046470609
Might want to test with those...if you don't have them already yourself.

Still not WHQL though. Warp2search did some tests and they are still missing visual effects in 3Dmark03. I suspect it will be along time till we see WHQL drivers for the NV30
