N64 games, 1024x768, glnintedo64, 8sxFSAA!!

[fivefeet8]

Using the newest RC Rivatuner, new FSAA options are available for use.. 8sxFSAA is now available for OGL when before it was only available for d3d.. 12xFSAA and a 2x2 FSAA option are also now available for d3d.. I think 8sxFSAA on OGL is the best of em..

These N64 games were all taken at the specified settings in the topic..

Mmm, love those near horizontals that look like 2x AA.

8xS is a joke.

Sample pattern looks something like this:



_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ * _ * _ * _ *
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ * _ * _ * _ *
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


Actual AA sample pattern via spiffy programme - green dots are texture samples, red dots are geometry samples:

So it sucks for near horizontal (only two effective samples), but r0x0rz for near vertical.

For comparison, here's (roughly) ATi's 6x:



* _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ * _ _ _ _
_ * _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ * _
_ _ * _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ * _ _


Again, red is geometry, green is texture.

Show some pics with 6xFSAA on your ATI to compare.. We're not anal.. Just look and see on the whole, which looks better.. :p

Tomorrow.

I'm tired. And too PMS-y to put up with fiddling with taking screenshots.
