ATI Releases Competition for NVIDIA's Cg

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the battle-of-the-3d-languages dept.

Should be interesting to see who wins the shader development race, NVIDIA's Cg, RenderMonkey or whatever 3Dlabs has on the go."

  1. Any comparison done ? by Taco+Cowboy · · Score: 1, Troll



    I do game programming, sometime.

    I do it in assembly language, almost always.

    Since the advent of Cg and now the Render Monkey, I want to know if there has been any comparison between assembly language, Cg and Render Monkey ?

    I won't say that I know what are the exact categories for such comparison. Perhaps people who have more knowledge than I am in this field may think of what to compare (features? ease of use? speed? code size? clarity?)
