Shadermark

[Doomtrooper]

Yes and we have Hundreds of DX9 Pixel Shader 2.0 games to benchmark with, the entire idea of these demo's/benchmarks is a forward looking gauge into the future, some websites can't seem to grasp that..they feel Doom 3 will be the cats ass for PS 2.0 benchmarking...I can't wait. :?

GeForce FX 5800 Ultra, Detonator FX:

Pretty far from this:

And here's a better zoom.

And btw PNG did damage the quality somewhat

PNG is non lossy unless you set it to only use 256 colours.

ok, still pic 2 looks better in the actual demo
but that might just be my screen, it doesn't really handle 180x1024 very well (which is the res I run in 2d)

I can hear it now though, "but none of these are actual games".

Well, true, but it's certain another nail in "cinematic gaming"'s coffin. I can't wait to see the performance of a DirectX 9 game that fully uses VS and PS 2.0 -- no T&L and no old shaders. . .

Is that Direct3D or Opengl, as hardware.fr's pics are the same as yours in OpenGL

Ante P > It's very strange. We are currently analysing the problem with NVIDIA. Perhaps it's related with the fact that we use a French Windows XP ...

It's humus demo, it's only available in Open GL

have you spoken to Humus about it?

 

[Doomtrooper]

Ummm..no..Direct3D version is here.

ahh well in any case, I ran the open gl one
the one linked in hardware.fr's article (sorry didn't see the on in d3d)

There is also a D3D version !

Actually they just linked to the main demo page, not to the OpenGL benchmark..

well in any case I just downloaded the D3D version too and it looks identical to the output of the OGL version

sorry for my confusion

So...stating that, my conclusion is the 5600 and down use partial precision, while the 5800/5900 maintain precision.

How about one more screen shot...zoomed in where hardware.fr's shots are..

the pics I posted are where they posted
and D3D looks identical, so the point would be?
