Adam:
You said that I was incorrect. How can I be incorrect in saying that nVidias 2x2 is 2 samples from horizontal and 2 samples from verticle?
uh, it's not. 2x2 means you double the resolution in the vertical and horizontal (2x vertical, 2x horizontal), and then you downsize it and "average" the pixel values.
in other words, 640x480 w/2x2FSAA means that the card takes the 640x480 and doubles each resolution to 1280x1024. Then it "scrunches" it back down to 640x480, and takes the average pixel value while downsizing (loosely explained)
so it doesn't just take 2 samples from the vertical and 2 from the horizontal.
so...you were wrong. Nothing wrong with that. we're all wrong now and again
***EDIT***
except Ben. Ben is never wrong.
***EDIT***
Thats what it is, but then again I'm talking about a feature that nVidia has, something which you'll never agree with.
not really sure what you mean by that. I suppose you're trying to speak of some sort of bias? Not here. I just like the 5500 better than the GTS after using 4 of them (2 each). This is actually the first time in 3 generations I've chosen a 3dfx card over an nvidia card. Kinda weird.
