91.47 Driver Enables (and continues) Transparent AA on 6 Series Cards

[Auric]

Oh frabjous day, callou callay!

A year behind ATi for that generation and still not official (n'est ce pas?), but hey I'm not one to look a gift donkey in the pie hole.

However, how much of a performance hit does it incur -i.e. is it useable?

FWIW i couldn't see any real impact of the TRMS in hl2,

HL2 is one of the titles where MS TrAA doesn't work.

oh, thats why i dont notice a difference in CSS when using TRMS

The ATi version *should* stack also, but you'll need to get somebody else to confirm that.

Most definitely as it wouldn't work otherwise (i.e. ATi only has MSAA modes available on single cards). I'm also 99% certain they stack with Super AA modes too.

Would it even be worth it to download if I have a 6800 GT? I mean would TRAA be worth the quality/speed loss? I might get it anyway to play around with but I have a hunch i'll come back to regular 4xAA in the end when i'm done playing around.

Well, as i said in my other thread, i had significant stability problems with it with my oc'd 6600GT that were'nt there with my 84.21s...

Yes, I was actually meaning modes such as Temporal AA etc, not standard AA modes. Should have been more specific.

Bump
Seems the 91.47 driver wants to continue the trend of TRAA.

Wonder why Nvidia decided to include it anyway and why not include it from the start? (maby as marketing ya know?)
