PowerVR VS 3.0 Demo!!!

[Evildeus]

All AFAIK... I'll be happy to spend some more time on it if someone sends me a free NV40

why do you need ? You don't have a nice PCX10 to play with Far cry ?

It's faster

In fact, K's words sound a bit like: "I don't know why it doesn't work there, HERE it works fine"

Well to debug something you kind of need the thing that requires the debugging

Our D3D Voxel demo has now been update to be compatible with the latest version of the DX9 SDK :

wee, just got my dirty paws on 61.32 which is supposed to add better SM3.0 support for NV40. (Shadermark 2.1 PS3 scores dropped even lower compared to 61.11 though.)

Let us know what's going on Ante P, even with the other demo, it will be interesting 8)

Do you know if it work on Nv40

 

[Ante P]

baah, can't see no model, just a black square, tried toggling all options in different combinations etc. but still nothing

 

[Evildeus]

On both demos?

 

[Kristof]

Well it works on the refdevice...

 

[tEd]

Well it works on the refdevice...

you mean ref hardware right? prove it!

 

[Ante P]

On both demos?

Cloth as mentioned uses some VS3.0 functionality that isn't available so no go there.
Voxel just shows a black square.

 

[Evildeus]

Yeah, i thought the other demo was also customed, as Kristof said it was trivial to do so. Hmmm, well, next try then

 

[Tridam]

The new voxel demo is running. However the solid rendering isn't working properly.

DX9c b3 and 60.72.

 

[Evildeus]

Thanks for the update Tridam

 

[Ostsol]

What are the framerates like?

Are there any significant differences in the sm2.x shaders compared to sm3.0 shaders in shadermark2.1? I would guess the most shaders in shadermark will have pretty much the same output(asm) between the shader models

had that question before, how to I check asm?

You can use 3danalyzer to extract ASM.

You can use 3danalyzer to extract ASM.

In all the Pixel SHader 3.0 output I get this before each shader:
///////////////Pixel Shader - start//////////////
ps_3_0 not supported yet...

Or "vs_3_0 not supported yet..." where applicable.

But there still is output in there.

I have uploaded the 1 MB file in case anyone wants to have a go:
