D3D RightMark Beta 4

3D.Rightmark.Org, the independent DirectX 3D Benchmarking Project, released a new version of the D3D RightMark graphics benchmarking suite. The new features of D3D RightMark 1.0.5.0 (Public Beta 4).

User Interface

• The new "skinned" user interface for the D3D RightMark shell and all modules.
• The new look of the results files (for XML and HTML formats).
• The new look of the reports files (for HTML format).

Test Modules

• VS 3.0 and PS 3.0 support for some tests. (PS 3.0 and VS 3.0 shaders supported only on "DX9.1" hardware. VS 3.0 supported for all hardware if you set software vertex processing.)
• VS dynamic flow control support for the "Geometry Processing Speed" test. (Not available on some DX9 hardware (ATI's R3x).)
• PS 2.a shaders for the "Pixel Shading" test (Water and Cook-Torrance lighting). (These PS 2.a shaders currently supported only on nVidia's GeForce FX hardware (NV3x+).)
• PS 1.1 and 1.4 shaders for the "Pixel Shading" test (Psychodelic and Wood).
• The new shader profiles for the "Pixel Filling" test.
• The new shader profiles for the "Geometry Processing Speed" test.
• The new look of the "Geometry Processing Speed" test (smaller light range)
• The "Pixel Filling" test has the separate PPS(pixels/second) and TPS(texels/second) results.
• The "State Profiler" test was removed.

Bug fixes

• A number of errors in the D3D RightMark shell were fixed.
• A number of errors in the test modules were fixed.
