Anisotropic Filtering Image Quality

To look at anisotropic filtering performance, we dropped the guns and looked at the floor for a while. The default images are taken from ATI's drivers; hold your mouse over them to view the images on an NVIDIA card.

Anisotropic Filtering Disabled

Hold your mouse over for the NVIDIA image.


2X Anisotropic Filtering

Hold your mouse over for the NVIDIA image.


4X Anisotropic Filtering

Hold your mouse over for the NVIDIA image.


8X Anisotropic Filtering

Hold your mouse over for the NVIDIA image.


16X Anisotropic Filtering

Hold your mouse over for the NVIDIA image.


This particular scene is perfect for looking at anisotropic filtering performance, as you can see the separation between the individual tiles towards the back of the scene when anisotropic filtering is enabled.

Again, there are no huge differences between ATI and NVIDIA here.

    OT, I wonder about the outcome for us 6800 owners and the VP... Nvidia screamed this new feature to us and I bought it . Will this end in a class action,or perhaps some kind of voucher for people that bought the 6800 specifically for this highly touted feature....

    Why is there no X300 in the CS: Source stress test?
    It seems oddly missing, and with no comment as to why...

    x700 > 9800 Pro?

    there is some kind of error concerning your max power graph and this statement.

    "other than the integrated graphics solution, the 6200 is the lowest power card here - drawing even less power than the X300,"

    the graph clearly shows the 6200 drawing 117 watts while the x300 is shown drawing 110 watts. Just thought i would point that out.
