I'm thinking of building a TV out gaming system with a Elsa Gladiac GTS card and was wondering if I can get fast AA @ 800x600x32 with possibly a Duron800 setup and 256meg ram.
It all depends on the game. New games, like Medal Of Honor, no. Older games, like Wing Commander Prophecy, X-Wing Alliance, and I76, yes. All the Q2 era games should be good.
Your processor will most likely be your bottleneck. I have a Hercules Prophet II PRO and run games like RTCW in 1600x1200x32 with 2xAA and 16-tap anisotropic filtering and still cant notice slow fps. But I have an Athlon XP 1600. If you havent already bought the Duron 800 and motherboard, I would suggest getting something a little faster. You can get 1.33ghz Thunderbirds for like $45 more than a Duron 800. If you have already bought the processor, you might be able to get 2xAA in 800x600x32. You will get a lot better frame rates if you run in 16-bit color. I personally can barely notice the difference in quality, but the performance difference is huge. Good luck.
