shaders on ati, and a suggestion

[darkcloudl]

thank you both for the explanation, I personally think that a percentage counter next to the fps would be good to know how fast the game goes, it would be quite useful for comparing performance between different computers, thats my original suggestion

And some other games are full speed at 15 or 20fps too. Although it doesn't last long, that's how the game is made for when there are too many things to compute in one frame. Well made games don't care about the number of frames they render, and some others expect a perfect performance (and don't take into account if the console get older and slower...).

like ps2 shadow of the colossus, that game sometimes reaches full speed with only 15 fps, then the hardware demanding games like god of war will most likely use this system, it is good to know
