Maybe you didn't understand the point, the objective is not to write (2*a)-1 as (a-0.5) * 2 which is exactly the same but cost more on the gpu. Indeed simplyfying the matter: a = tex2D() The monomial (a - 1/2) * 2 = 2a - 1 is equivalent. x)(2*a) - 1.0 costs 5 cycles on SGX540 y)(a - 0.5)* 2.0 costs 6 cycles on SGX540 z) a…

Yeah I noticed that myself that when jumped in right from the start and made…
You can get this computer off newegg for under $700: AMD 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHz Socket AM2 ASUS SLi-Ready Mobo 2GB Mushkin DDR2 800 Geforce 8800GTS 640MB My personal suggestion is, if its for gaming, shy away from Quad core right now, thats an extra $100+ for something that isn't going to be used. If you have the money, go for…
