SM3.0 is a scam.

Without AF the textures start to get blurry (stretched) even a few from where you are standing, and get progressively worse as you look farther out. And anything off angle from where you are facing will get blurry too.

I find AF especially important for gaming, especially online MP games like Delta Force-BHD or Joint Opts. If you see a green bush 30 yards out with a brown splotch on it -- is it just a green bush with a splotch???? ? or, is it a green bush with an opponent lying down under it? Without AF you likely won?t be able to tell the difference because it will be so blurry. If a sniper is lying on a hillside 150 yards out, without AF he?ll blend into the hill and you?ll probably never spot him.

If your online gaming using high res. and eye candy on full. It can make a big differance in first person shooter games I might beable to see you were as you can't see me at distances . that means your dead. Any good gamer knows this . Also for right now today its a nosense argument. But a very valid point.

I'm having trouble putting together the valid points and useless argument parts together. But i think i understand what you mean. Still, yes, eye candy CAN help you in the game, i agree, sometimes not. I've been able to play CS:S on lowest settings, and highest, and as long as the framerate was good, it didn't hurt my "skills."

But i do agree it is a rather pointless argument, but hey, i just said that i didn't see a point for AA/AF and other people didn't like that i guess.

Blastman: Yes, I completely understand what AF is, but i've never seen a need to use it. For the example you mentioned, I find that rather strange. I've played many games that don't need AF to tell if its an enemy or not. CS:S, BF2, Battlegrounds, etc. Never once has AF or AA given me an edge in gaming...
