Could someone help me understand FSAA and AF please? Thanks.

Ok i was looking at the pictures of the Geforce FX and ATI 9700 pro with the FSAA and AF quality pictures. I am wondering why FSAA does not get rid of all the jaggies and only some? I do think the ATI 9700 pro FSAA and AF does look better.

HardOCP says the screen shots with AA and AF on for the GFfx are not accurate because the SS is taken from the frame buffer before some image quality filters are done and outputed to the screen. Here's the link: text

But they also remarked on their forum that 9700 img quality still seemed better to their eyes.

FAA looks the best, right? The tech used by the Parhelia.

No way - it's the worst because it can only handle edges. Its only redeeming feature is that it's somewhat faster than the other methods.

I think that's only with 2X FSAA on the GF FX and the lower quality AF algorithm on the FX (which sucks). Using 4X FSAA or above and the better AF algorithm, the GF FX looks just as good.
