Platform specific features - poll results

Thanks for voting!

After 70 votes, these are the results. I was surprised a bit, before starting it I was more pessimistic about the average use of such things, but truth to be told I don't think the audience of this blog is totally unbiased too...

I don't think they require much comment, the relatively high numbers in 360 - other and ps3 - other probably say that the entries could have been better, I didn't receive any comments so if you did choose "other" and you want to specify what that meant, feel free to leave a comment on this post.

So here they are:

360 - tassellator - 11%

360 - shader memwrite - 12%

360 - v.shader texture fetch - 30%

360 - l2 cache -> GPU - 5%

360 - custom vfetch - 28%

360 - command buffer predication (other than MSAA) - 20%

360 - other - 21%

ps3 - texture as vertex stream fetch - 2%

ps3 - spu to spu cache communication - 8%

ps3 - spu rendering (i.e. depth/hi-z) - 10%

ps3 - halfs in shaders - 41%

ps3 - main/local memory bandwidth optimization - 27%

ps3 - spu to gpu fast path - 30%

ps3 - other - 24%

dx10 - api - 10%

dx10 - geometry shaders - 10%

dx10 - model 4 shaders - 15%

dx10.1 - features - 11%

dx10 - other - 4%

dx11 - api - 15%

dx11 - tassellator - 12%

dx11 - multithreading - 7%

dx11 - model 5 shaders - 11%

dx11 - other - 10%
