Lee Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 I have seen several accounts on the net from people who have used both GF and voodoo 5500's saying that they thought the voodoo's looked better. Perhaps someone here who has used/seen both in action could comment? In fact, the card that seems to get the most consistent praise for image quality is the Radeon. Check a lot of gaming and harware mags and I think you'll see plenty of references to it's superior picture quality. But, like I said, this is why I'm so looking forward to the voodoo 6000. With that card there will be no tough decisions, no debating at all. You want the fastest card on the planet? Get the voodoo 6000. You want top-notch FSAA? Get the voodoo 6000. You want the capability to run Glide 3D games? Get the... well, you get the idea. Kinda makes things simple for you. And I like the idea of a video card that will run CM at utterly liquid frame rates, even with tons of smoke and fires going on at the same time all over a huge battlefield with firefights raging between large numbers of tanks and infantry.

Olle Petersson Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 Could anyone please explain what FSAA is? I've never encountered this ETLA before... Cheers Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rollstoy Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 FSAA - Full Scree Anti Aliasing Anti Aliasing is the art of "smoothing" lines and edges in pixel graphics by replacing discrete color values for pixels (on/off) by a continuous range of color values depending on the degree of coverage of the pixel, i.e. which part of the pixel is actually covered by the surface or line in a geometrically precise sense. This calculation can for example be approximated by rendering the image in a higher resolution (supersampling) internally and then displaying it at a lower resolution where the colors of several high-resolution pixels determine the color of one low-resolution pixel. The nasty thing about this process is that you cannot perform it on a ready picture. That would just be blurring. You have to have the vector information describing the line to perform the AA, otherwise it is too late ... Hope this helps!
