I ran some tests on each GeForce that I have at my disposal. Hope this helps ya!

Guillemot GeForce 256 SDR 32MB
AA-Modes: 2X – 4X

Asus V6800 GeForce 256 DDR 32MB
AA-Modes: 2x – 4X

LeadTek GeForce2 MX 32MB
AA-Modes: 2X – 4X

Hercules GeForce2 MX 400 32MB
AA-Modes: 2x – 4X

Creative GeForce 2 GTS 32MB
AA-Modes: 2X – 4X

LeadTek GeForce 3 64MB
AA-Modes: 2x – Quincunx – 4X


So it’s safe to say that they all support FSAA. You’ll notice that only the GF3 supports a new type of AA mode, in fact it supports 2 new types. but you can only see one it the options which is Quincunx. The other one is HRAA.

Also here is the <a href="http://www.geforcefaq.com/faq.cgi" target="_blank">GeForce FAQ</a>. You’ll find a lot of cool info.


EDIT:Forgot to mention that all GeForces support AA wiht OpenGL

thanks for the reply, but i still cant get fsaa 4x4 to work with

detonator3 12.xx or detonator4 20.xx (yes, there is an option to

use fsaa 4x4 but its only for d3d).

[SgtGhost]

Do you see 3D Antialiasing Settings tab?
If yes, well that will work with opengl too.

[rio]

yes yes

but if i choose 4x4 ,opengl only works up to 2x2, coz opengl not smooth as d3d

(i compare 640*480 on d3d with 640*480 on opengl)

[rio]

hmm maybe geforce doesn,t support fsaa 4x4 for opengl :confused:

[SgtGhost]

Well there’s something wrong with you’re card or drivers. Cuz I have no such problems.

what games are you trying to play? I'm using Quake3 to test the options and the game only runs in opengl.

[rio]

i trying to play with epsxe and some opengl 3d demo scene

[Hairybudda]

works great for me at 800x600x32bit 4x4 FSAA in Q3....

It should work....

[SgtGhost]

rio: Do you have any other games other then using ePSXe to test FSAA?


I don’t have the knowledge to say if ePSXe is a good program to test out FSAA. I know it works great for me though. Maybe some other member can inform us about this.

[rio]

no no no

it's works now :)

wow, now i can play any games with 800*600 and fsaa 4x4

at full speed :D

try using nvmax tweak then you can enable it.the new beta one

[GEO]

yep, try using nvmax, i had the same prob as you did.... i think that's because of the D3d and OGL AA settings are in the same tab. Using nvmax or another geforce tweak utility enables you to set this right and take a lot more advantage from your card......

[rio]

actually, my problem is that if i choose fsaa (2x or 4x) on display

properties it wont work with pete's ogl (sometime works)

i know if i choose fsaa 4x its only 2x for opengl

but, thanks for the answers

for nvmax, i'll give it a try :)

[GEO]

jus one more thing , if i may rio, you have an Asus V6600 nVIDIA™ GeForce™ 32 MB SGRAM and you are using the (Detonator4 21.81) , are these from asus itself or from the reference from nvidia???? Cos i have a Asus V6800 deluxe and i was looking for these drivers......if not, i sugest you wait till asus realease them, cos the reference drivers usualy 5-6 frames slower than the manufacter divers....

[rio]

a reference driver from nvidia (the most used driver for me)

and off course sometime i use manufacturer drivers

[SgtGhost]

The Nvidia drivers are the best drivers for any Video card using their chipset. I don’t agree with ya (GEO) saying that they produce less FPS compare to manufacturer drivers.

Surely you’ll find a difference between some driver version, but the fact remains that nvidia Drivers are very popular due there speed and compatibility

[Athleon]

of course you do, used the lates drivers or nvmax tweak guide,

[rio]

well, the problem solved with nvmax

thanks everyone :)
