Tomb Raider: AOD DX9 Benchmarks

Any idea how widely DX9 precision hint is used in the PS2.0 tests if at all?

Can PS2.0 shaders run at either low or high colour precison or is high colour precison forced?
 
the game uses the following shaders :

PS_1_1 - 53 Stück
PS_1_4 - 8 Stück
PS_2_0 - 14 Stück

So You see the PP-hint is used a lot.


PS.: thanks Razor from the 3DCenter-forum for this info.

Sorry, yes - this wasn't supposed to be an expansive article on the differences between the various settings, but to answer the call from a few people to get some kinds of comparative baseline performance.

Ahh, "baseline" was the word I kept looking for (in my post on page 2):
A complete (ATI&nV) benchmark run with all PS2 (and possibly PS1.4) shaders disabled to show if there are other things creating slowdowns on nVidia side.

I'm trying to find out. It's a very intriguing thing to me re the battle of compilers because there's such a huge difference between the two in terms of IQ output when the 2.0 pixel shader for DOF is used.

Interesting. Will we be seeing an "official" version of this article, including IQ comparisions, possible detected bugs, compiler comparisions etc ?

I for one would really like to see such an article :)
 
Just to back the article up, here's a reply from Gabe Newell:
I have been a long-time NVIDIA card user. Currently I have ATI 9800 Pro's in both my work and home machines.

The DX9 performance described by the Beyond3D article is consistent with what we've been seeing.

That's an official reply from Gabe.
You should find that posted at the www.halflife2.net forums, General Discussion.

Actual link, please? (far too many threads there to search)

Thanks.

Mebbe this one?

I'm having trouble finding it too, but I think that's it.

Also from the thread mentioned above :


" Hiya Gabe. I know that all of you's guys at Valve are really busy with HL2, but I was wondering if you could answer me a quick question?
I'm not sure if lots of people have asked this before or not, but I was wondering what graphics card you would personally recommend for HL2? I am torn between the two newest cards, the 9800 Pro and the FX 5900. So if you were me, which card would you go with, and if you want to elaborate on your answer that would be great!
Thanks.


9800 Pro. It's faster and has better image quality. "
