Number crunching using Single precision SSE regs

Hi Charles,

maybe, I had SSE in buffer 1 abd FPU in buffer 2, maybe it affects. I used 1000000 loops in ThinBasic, could be it.

7600 is great card, I eNVy you

But similarly to my GF6, it has "old" architecture. I think there are no stream processors included in our series of GeForce. CUDA runs on GF 8600, 8800 ... and higher I think.

I was shocked, 7600 too old? That is a surprise for sure!

GF8, 9 and 2xx use unified shader architecture, that means there is no vertex-only and pixel-only shader processing, there are general purpose hybrid shader "units" which can handle various tasks.

It sure can get confusing with all this graphics stuff. Amazing how game companies seem to time releases well to use available technology at release time.
