Did anybody notice in Black & White AA testing how Nvidias 4xAA looked better than its 8xAA? And it doesnt appear ATIs 6xAA is doing any AA at all in that game.

I just got done going over it and yeah, I did notice that. Had to look at it twice. Did someone screw up?

Anyhow, ATi's card looks like a beast.

I can see AA working on Ati's 6x mode. But definitely Nv's 8x mode looks like no AA. Also, what's with the blocky grass area edges on Nv cards? More crappy shadow issues???

Is that really typical of how ATIs 6xAA looks? That looks horrible and much worse than Nvidias 4xAA.

Actually I was looking at the max AA screenshot. The 6xAA does look as bad as no AA.

I'm amazed how badly nVidia gets torched in Far Cry.

Lucky thing for nVidia that most people played Far Cry who were going to at some point over the last two years it's been out!

I just bought Far Cry the other day and will play it for the first time.

That's nice, definitely puts you in the vast minority of gamers who have been gaming the last two years though. Most of us got it free with a video card, sound card, or motherboard as they gave it away with EVERYTHING the year it came out.

I can see it now:

Joe Highendbuyer: "I say, the new ATI card is out! I better head over to the boards and see how it's doing on that shooter I played in spring 2004!"

:laugh:

Very few people care what is up with Far Cry any more. I gave away a couple of the free copies I got with hardware.

Sure . . . yesterday- when the GTX was ahead - FC had "relevance" . . . now that nVidia has taken a backseat, i guess NO games' benchmarks are relevant anymore to nVidia fanboys . . . .
:thumbsdown:

well, you can still pick a few Ogl games.

And EXPECT a new FC engine shortly [late this year or early next] . . . and FC has their engine up for license for a few years now. . . . that one is gonna be even heavier on the Shaders.
