Vertex Shader Performance

Apparently, vertex shader performance of ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT looks much better than its pixel shader performance, which is logical, as here the R600 has no performance bottlenecks with slow texture fetching.

The same happens when it comes to 3DMark’s vertex shaders: the new Radeon HD 2900 XT is virtually up to three times faster than its predecessor and even manages to leave its much more expensive rival – Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX – behind.
