Use of Mandelbrot demos in reviews

Unfortunately for the moment the demo can't give this number. The fact is that mandelbrot isn't an app to show us what kind of quality difference whe can have in a game with partial precision vs full precision but what is the actual precision of X card with Y driver.

What i can said is that the precision from what i see is that :

- 44.03 Detos force partial precision for all case on FX5600/5800 in D3D
- 44.10 Detos use full precision by default and, when you ask it, partial precision in D3D
- 44.03 & 44.10 Detos use full precision in OGL ARB Fragment program
extension.
- Catalyst 3.4 doesn't use partial precision in D3D when you ask for it, it's always full precision

With mandelbrot we can see that GFX partial precision < ATI partial/full precision < GFX full precision from a quality point of view (well it's quite logical to have FP16 (or FX12?) <FP24<FP32 :D )

I haven't checked the 5900 with mandelbrot demo and now the card is gone ... but in the teapot ATI demo the 5900 just look as fine as 5600/5800 with 44.10 even with 44.03, so i think there is no precision problem /w 44.03 on 5900 in D3D.

unfortunately there is no tool to provide you the degree of zoom.

I can implement a quick console command for it if you want.

Greatly needed..(plus your demos will make you a celebrity :D )

Done.

Works like this:

Getting current zoom:
> zoom
-1.260622, -0.407722, -1.260182, -0.407272

Setting zoom:
> zoom -1.260622, -0.407722, -1.260182, -0.407272
Command OK
