GeForce2: Duo Deluxe (11/12)

AntiAliasing

Here a GeForce2 with the newest (unofficial) Detonator3 (v6.26) drivers is up against a Voodoo5 5500 with the most recent beta drivers. Both cards were set to use 2xFSAA. Because of the differing FSAA implementations of these cards, the results can’t really be compared. Since this setting is the best compromise between image quality and performance for each card, I still believe the comparison to be fair and the results to be relevant.

The Voodoo5 is obviously king of the hill in this discipline, even though the GeForce2 card didn’t do badly at all. Still, I suppose it’s a matter of taste at which setting you want to use FSAA, since performance takes a major hit and the image becomes less defined and more, well, fuzzy. The NVIDIA boards also offer a 1x2 FSAA mode, which takes less of a performance hit than the 2x2 mode I used during testing, but also doesn’t look as good.
