D3D Rightmark

D3D Rightmark is used to get a broad view of a few facets of GPU performance, like HSR and raw pixel shading ability.

Rightmark Performance

Rightmark's fillrate test seems to favour NV40, despite the R420 GPU having a fair bit more theoretical fillrate. The pixel shading test is nearly 50% faster on the R420 GPU with the HSR test showing broadly similar results.

Given the fillrate tests use shaders to enable their tests, those shaders seem to favour NV40's architecture, given R420's natural clock advantage.
