Also, it should be pointed out that this is not exactly a new feature, I think most of the hyperz work in r300g was done by marek early/middle of last year?
Hopefully r600g has better luck.

BTW why testing two almost identical cards?

And it shows that Hyper Z in use makes sense not only in theory.
Is known what caused the strange behaviour in Nexuiz?
Bravo.

its just reinventing the wheel. closed drivers had this feature since the r100 days.

Radeon HyperZ In Open-Source On Older Hardware
Phoronix: Radeon HyperZ In Open-Source On Older Hardware
Recently there has been a lot of talk about Hierarchical-Z/HyperZ support for R600g since its set to provide a measurable performance benefit the open-source Radeon driver for modern GPUs. This support has still not been mainlined and there are still a few issues to work out, but at least the support is stable for the older "R300g" driver and has been around for quite a while at this point. For those wondering what to expect from HiZ/HyperZ performance boosts, here is a preview.
