Unified Shaders ?

[MCRAYGSX]

Can anyone explain me what is Unified Shaders ?


Is it like combination of Pixel and Vertex Shader ? Both in one called Unified shader ?

And it can perform Pixel and Vertex Shader both.

unified shaders allow the cards to use vertex or pixel shaders equally. currentlly our cards right now have a fixed shader and vertex count. that is why the x1900xt performs so much better in oblivion then nvidia does soley because of the pixel shaders the x1900xt has.
