More Driverheaven fun with GF6800!

[Sanctusx2]

The fun never stops.

I still feel all their in-depth analysis on a card that hasn't hit stores with beta drivers is premature. Take from it what you will.

Been wondering about that..
Wouldnt any card run worse if it was made to run as something its not?
Or is the "R3xx path" a strict standard DX9 path with nothint specific to the R3xx at all?
If not, will this sort of comparing "work"?

There is some mis information by posters there. The r300 path uses Pixel Shader 2.0 and Pixel shader 1.1, It doesnt use Shader 2.0 completely,

I believe the results were, That the r300 uses less shader 1.1 instructions than the Nv35 does, And more shader 2.0. Buts it definately isnt all being done in Shader 2.0

I believe someone has done output files with 3danalyze which dumped shaders.

Anyone have that offhand?
