It's probly the same, allthough i do suspect that there are still some fixed pipeline stuff still in there.
The FX cards do have some pretty impressive shader functions, and i havn't even begun to explore it's full potential yet.
Mostly because i use GLSLang shaders and GLSLang support is pretty much beta for FX cards.

But i am going to start to fiddle with multiple alpha channels, perhaps even some color matrices(weird theory on this but works something like regular vertex matrices but on the color/alpha channel, could be usefull) and a new way of doing shadowmapping.
