One guy here says he plays far cry & other games on a 6600 gt with pixel shader 3.0 on.
How do you turn on pixel shader 3.0? How do you know your using it?
I know a guy that says there is nothing pixel shader 3.0 does that 2.0 cannot do.
And he says "Ps3.0 allows for more registers so it's easier to code for. by the time ps3.0 games come out current cards would barely be able to run them so buying a 6800gt right now to play ps3.0 games when they come out next year is useless. For example, unreal 3 has been tested with the 6800ultra and the x800xt and they ran at around 5-10fps with all the eye candy on."
And told me to read this "PC Perspective recently ran an interview with Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek, the company that developed Far Cry. In it, Yerli stated, "In current engine there are no visible difference between PS2.0 and PS3.0. PS3.0 is used automatically for per-pixel lighting depending on some conditions to improve speed of rendering."
I think this is interesting because the reason why everyone here recommends nvidia now is because of PS3, but a lot of people say it makes no difference.
