Can you see a difference with antialiased, etc.

[sep]

I've always wondered if you would see a difference with the extra features enabled. I've got a ti4200 128MB. Would I see a big difference in the quality of the games (RTCW, BF1942, UT2003, MOHAA,UT) i play at 1280x1024x32 max details with AA enabled?

What other features of this card would provide a visual improvement that's noticable?

Thanks all!

I run mine @ 1024x768x32 4xAA, I think it makes a big difference. (xp2100+, Ti4400)

I run 1024x768 with 4x AF, and don't notice the AF. Everything maxed. 64mb 4200 on an xp 2000.

personally, i only see AA make a difference at 640x480 (a HUGE difference) and at 800x600(maybe a little less difference). I don't think the AA at higher resolutions is not worth the performance hit - and this is coming from a radeon 9700 guy (i have a 17" monitor - maybe it is noticeable on larger monitors?)

Anyway - you wouldn't do wrong to try the AA, then you can judge for yourself.

I use 2x AA at 1024 res on a 9700 pro in BF1942 and it makes a big difference to me, even just with 2x. that game is the poster child for aliasing, very noticable.

I typically run games at either 1280x1024 or 1600x1200. AA is definately noticable to me. Whether or not it is worth the performance hit is a different story entirely though (I'm currently running an 1800+, ti4400, and 512 mb of ram).

Video card manufacturers wouldn't be implementing the features if it didn't make a difference. I thank 3dfx for pushing antialiasing to the gamer. Yes, AA is very noticable at 1024x768+ resolutions on bigger monitors.

Run my games at 2xAA and 16xAF. I certainly notice the difference.

I would say taht at higher resolutions AA isnt a big deal *IF* you are like me and have a 19" (Hitachi 751 SuperScan Elite p0wns) monitor and run at 1280 or higher then jaggies will become smaller and smaller as the game viewing area increases and is compressed to fit on your screen....

On bigger screens then the physical viewing area is increased but the jaggies will still show in the same ratio as a lower resolution and a smaller monitor...
