shaders in the MR9800 from two units in the MR9700 to four. With respect to features, the MR9800 has nothing new to offer. As before, 2.0 vertex shaders are supported. However, this boosts the polygon performance of the new chip respectably. The number of pixel...

new mobile chip is nothing more than a brother of the NV40, running with "only" 12 pixel shaders and five vertex shaders. (Actually, since the GeForce Go 6800 is a PCI Express device, we cannot help but thinking that it may in fact be closer to the NV45 than...

card a good workout. "Knights Of The Old Republic" pushes the Star Wars saga to new heights with some great vertex shader effects and pixel shader work on the light saber, which provide this game with a unique look. "Madden 2004" is still the best of the best,...

Media Accelerator (GMA) 900, also found in the 915G and 925G desktop chipsets. Accordingly, the graphics core is DirectX 9-compatible, but not DirectX 9-compliant. The distinction is that while it has a total of four genuine pixel pipelines, the vertex shader(...
