ShaderMark 2.1

ShaderMark 2.1

ShaderMark 2.1 tests shader-bound performance using nearly two dozen small shaders. The shaders perform a number of common shader tasks that you might find in games. The geometry the shaders shade is very simple, to text pure shader throughput.

The results show that, on average, the 7800 GTX is around 1.6 times faster than the 6800 Ultra. The 7800 GTX was never slower, and on a couple of occasions, like those shaders utilising FP filtering, it's over twice as fast. NVIDIA's focus on pixel shader throughput for G70 is clearly shown to be working in this synthetic test.
