Info

Greater number of instructions • Longer shader programs make multi-sample AA really “free” – Sweet spot for low-end DirectX9 cards is w/ 4x AA – 640x480x4x is way faster than 1280x960x1x on a pixel shader-bound app • Long shaders more practical with HLSL
Predication • Essentially a destination write mask – Analogous to use of CMP / CND – Computed per component – Can be swizzled and negated • The perf win is mainly fewer temporaries compared to MAD-style – The p0 predication register is ‘free’ – Doesn’t count towards temp register count • Provides “lock-step” data-dependent execution – All pixels execute the same instructions
