Gforce2 MX FSAA

[Neojag]

well, jusr a simple question, does it have 4xFSAA??

[Betamax]

I got one so I can saftely say the answer to this is yes.

[Neojag]

exactly as the Gforce2 Ultra?
sweeeeet :D

[Betamax]

yep. except the card is slower (well what do u except for a cheaper card?)

[Neojag]

hum, ok...

Yea, it does 4xFSAA, but its slower than the GF2 Ultra 'cause the Ultra has more memory and a faster clock core... The FSAA works my rendering at a hisgher resolution then bilinear filtering it down, giving the impression if FSAA, but its just like getting a picture in Paint Shop Pro and then shrinking it.... So theres no point in a game that runs in 1024x768.32 bit 'cause the card wont handle it, cause there aint enuff video memory....

See how it works now???

PS:

Anyone know how Ansiotropic filtering works?????

[Neojag]

yup, i knew how it worked, but not the really technical stuff ;)

well, that means i wont be able to play games in epsxe at 1024*768 w/ FSAA turned on right?

If you get a great framerate, and you _really_ want the FSAA, try OCing your card, but theres a chance that there isnt enuff Vid Mem to do the FSAA, unless you got an MX400( i think it has 64MB vidmem?) , best bet is to do it at 800x600 with 4xFSAA, GT2 looks great like that. :D

Glad i helped, i'm gonna add you to my buddy list :D

[Betamax]

Boy do I know it! :D

[Neojag]

ehehe
thkx a lot m8s :D

[SIR_LINX]

i have a gforce 2 mx 200 64mb and i only can run epsxe games at 800x600 16 bit whit 4xFSAA and full speed.
1024x768 whit 4xFSAA its realy slow. but i just turn off that option and i play the games at 1152x864 32 bits whit full speed.

check this shot 800x600 16 bits 4xFSAA

[The Vagrant]

finally...........a screenshot shows what the gf2 can do..that looks realy nice bro..................but can anyone tell me if the gf3 will be able to play games at 1024x768 with 4xfsaa on? secondly can anyone tell me what all these different kinds of gf3 cards are like.................how many different gf3s are out there and which is the best. oh and will this new ati radeon card compare or no?

[Neojag]

oh yeah, u betcha it can do that, and easily ;) the Gforce2 GTS can do that also i think (1024*768 4XFSAA)...

and great pic Linx, ur spicing up my appetite :D :D :D

What about a G-Force 256 DDR

I can confirm that a GF3 at 1024x768 with 4Xfsaa plays great. That’s the only resolution that im using right now. You should see Vagrant Story :)

Im using an Hercules GF3 with an AMD TBird 1.2GHz.

Has for some popular GF3, you can check out:

Hope that helps

Geforce 3 DON'T HAVE FSAA

it Have this new and improved HRAA (High Resolution Anti Aliasing) which is much better than FSAA

Don't Forget Visiontek and Leadtek : both are good companies in Video Cards

Sorry, but you’re wrong. The GF3 does support FSAA and it uses a new AA-mode called Quincunx. It enables the GF3 to run at higher resolutions with good frame rate.

The HRAA is the new kid on the block and its only for the GF3 (for now). But I haven’t seen anything using it or seeing an option for it.

just joking man - it just that most people are in to this 'hype' of GeForce3 and HRAA, they forgot FSAA ;)

I think the reference drivers allowed some FSAA options on the GeForce 256

The ATI Radeon 8500 is a pretty good performer, although the GeForce 3 outperforms it in most benchmarks. Still, the drivers are still preliminary and some its key features aren't optimized yet. Otherwise the card looks very promising. I'm looking forward to an All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500 for my next upgrade.

There’s no real evidence that it’s a great performer. It’s a promising card, but the benchmarks that can be found on some hardware site, will tell ya that most of radeons 8500 should have been tested abit longer before releasing them for some real world benchmarks.

It was a stupid move by ATI IMO!

Yes it was a bit stupid releasing them for test when the best looking features of the cards werent available in the drivers,which hardly gives anyone the feeling the new drivers are gonna be any better than the slightly buggy and very bloated radeon drivers.
But saying that it does look a good card and kept up with and even beat the G3 even though the G3 was tested with the so called new detonators (which gave upto 30% increase in wait for it....Q3 and 3dmark)
Oh well at least competition breeds inovation....
