Ati and Microsoft have revealed their answer to the next generation Pixel- og Vertex-shader.
The programming Interface has been changed so the ned shader acheives 22 instrukstions instead of 12 which is on Geforce 3. The new shaders can also use 6 textures at a time instead of 4.
It looks like the Ati's R200 has a bright future.
You can download a Software based emulator, so that you can see if this is the way to go in the future:http://www.ati.com/na/pages/resource_centre/dev_rel/sdk/RadeonSDK/Html/Samples/Direct3D/RadeonShadowShader.html
