anyone w/ a X1800 already ? [performance of adaptive antialiasing ???]

[flexy]

like the standard test (the first one with the hangglider), say, 4x or 6xAA on with AF and then report what a hit you get with adaptive antialiasing on compared to with adaptive antialiasing off ?

thanks

i KNOW some people have these cards already.

The point is NOT to see how nice it looks in HL2, because we all know it looks nice...and HL2 never had a big performance hit anyway.

I really want to know what performance hit with adaptive AA the new cards have compared to the old cards.

Here is one link, eg.
http://www.elitebastards.com/page.php?pageid=12254

where they make some comparisons with OLDER cards..especially FarCry is very interesting.

I am really SURPRISED, because we had those cards announced for a while now and we all KNOW they have "adaptive antialiasing" (which we can have on older cards too with varying performance hits, we know that)...but nowhere, in NO review did *anyone* do a test with those game engines and adaptive AA on and the X1000 cards and compared the performance hit with that of an "old" card like X800/X850 series etc.

Eg. in FarCry on a X800/X850 you can get dramatic hits like from 55 FPS down to 28 FPS, about 50% FPS hit by enabling A AA...so now how does the X1800 do ?

These aren't the droids you're looking for. They're the numbers you're looking for, though.

IQ comparison here.

there are a lot of numbers and benchies....but by overflying the article i did NOT see comparative benchies
with *adaptive* antialiasing on. They show the normal AA and AF modi.

Still...as of this date i do not know whether the X1000 cards will have the same hits with *adaptive AA* like the older cards or not
