WTH? 16X AA...

WTF would anyone need 16X AA? Isn't 4XAA enough? I mean 2XT3 gives the same effect as 4X and 4XT3 is even better but I still don't see why you would need anything higher than that... How bad could the jaggies really be? I really think they should bring back technologies like truform which add polygons into a scene to make an old game look better... Instead these companies are b!tching about having 16X AA which I really can't see the use for.
 
I think people just want a new way to look at their old games 😛....new games will bring the cards to a crawl though.
 
They dumped it because it doesn't work well with almost any game. Unless the programers went back and patched the game to tell the driver which surfaces were ok to apply truform and objects that shouldn't have truform (objects that are supposed to be made of straight lines as opposed to curves) it would look horrible. I think that it didn't become popular enough with developers to use it in newer games so the whole concept kind of ran out of steam.
