ghostie 0 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 sheesh, it seems like it was just yesterday that I bought my 9800xt. Come to think of it it was yesterday! Well if I guess I'll have to wait for PCI-express. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson 0 Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 Tomshardware has the 6800 running circles over the XT and the 5950... nearly twice as better with the AA, AF, and resolutions bumped up. It's going to have a hefty price tag. Hopefully it'll drop the 5950 price down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

McNamee 0 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Please someone tell me, what is anisotropic filtering and what does it do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteKnight77 1 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Stay tuned for more information and a demonstration of both AA and AF. That is all I can say for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KRP 56 92 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Please someone tell me, what is anisotropic filtering and what does it do? A classic example is a texture with text; recall the text at the beginning of every Star Wars film that sets up the story. As the text scrolls off into the distance, its resolution and legibility both tail off. Another example is in a billboard of a racing game, where the text looks fuzzy and/or disproportionate without AF, and much clearer with AF applied. In the games I play I always have it turned off because I really don't see where it improves anything. I've even tried it with some of my racing games and still didn't see any improvement to justify having it on because it does have an effect on FPS. AA on the on hand makes a big difference and greatly improves the picture quality. " Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NYR_32 6 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 It looks impressive....but I'll waiting for PCI Express before I get a new Graphics Card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
