vertex operations?

[bbordwell]

ok i just got an ?AIW 9600xt and i am going to be replacing my fx5200 with it as soon as i get an adaptor in the mail from my dad.........i went to compare the two on gpu review and i noticed that is says the 5200 can do 0 MVertices/sec and the 9600 can do 262.5 MVertices/sec.....so i am wondering how the vertex operations help the video card

[edit] here is a link if you want it http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=153&card2=83

ahh figured it out on my own.....it is a problem with gpu review i looked up the specs for a bfg fx5200 and it says 63 million vertices/sec

The way the FX series does vertex operations is, well, wierd.

They don't have a defined number of vertex pipelines...it's an "array"...so I never really figured out how to express that in terms of other cards...nvidia will quote you some stats, but I don't know how well those line up to reality...

This is on my list of things to fix over at gpureview, once school gets out, I'll have a lot more time to go through and take care of little issues like this...
