現在已知, NV35與NV30最大的架構改進, 應該是Texture Unit可以獨立於FP unit之外運作這一點.

要檢驗這點的話, 應該就是比較一個具有4個color指令, 和4個texture load指令的Shader在NV30/31/34上與NV35上的執行效率就可以比較出來, 如果NV35的架構上確實存在這個改進的話, 那麼Shader執行效率應該會有很大的改進; 另外, NV35應該可以全速執行FP32, 但是NV30/31/34不行.

另外, 整數單元部分的改進, 雖然因為D3D中FP-unit沒辦法與整數單元共用, 所以沒辦法測試; 但是NV30每個管線都具有兩個整數單元(透過PS1.1的測試得知), 這點和NV35是一樣的.

ixbt-labs有類似的管線架構分析:

4 enhanced pipelined pixel processors: Instead of 8 pixel processors expected NVIDIA left 4. As before, each processor features two texture filtering units, two integer ALUs (for fixed-point numbers) and one ALU for floating-point operations. Such configuration allows for up to 12 pixel operations at a clock. It's declared that the new chip is twice as powerful as the NV30 regarding pixel processors when they execute DirectX9 PS 2.0 with 128bit precision.
