16X SLI - the end of jaggies

And you don't think it's a defensive mechanism? Look at his original post for a minute.

I'll upgrade when I feel I need to, not just when ROLLO tells me my card is a "KIA"



Please tell me how it's possible that one day you post:

LOL! yeah i'm going to listen to a guy who owns none of the hardware in question and doenst even have firsthand experience with it too!!
Blind leading the blind!

And when you get the R520, if the drivers and product are subpar compared to the 7800GTX if you reveal the truth even in spite of that morons unfounded claims how great it is anyway.. i'll laugh at the guy who listens to him and not you.

Sorry, son. This discussion is for adults only. Why don't you come back in about 5 years after you've matured a bit.

good one. come back when you make a mans salary and can afford something better than a 9500 non-pro.

in the meantime, i'll listen to a sensible adult who clearly has the money to test the hardware and is available for questions that the review sites are not open too nearly as much.

let me know when you get both a 7800 and a R520 and people will think you are a big deal too.

until then, theres one person here who will have both hardware lineups to compare too.
you dont know a thing and cant even speak about the Geforce7, let alone both like he will be able too.

come back when you have a college education and can afford a decent graphics card, then have something to contribute other than to tear down someone who is probably the most contributing member here.

Thanks.
But no thanks troll.

Wow...just wow. Listen to this kid. You appear to be the only troll here.

I went and searched for your threads. I now see you're no better than Rollo and actually much worse as far as ATI hatred.

"i wish more black guys would beat up white nerds. and rape their women, just for good measure. "

Thats a great quote from you there.

I think we know who the adult is here. Go back to playing your Daddy's "two foot" speaker Fender Amp and get a life.

Hey, it's my topic. I certainly don't want all this "Wah Rollo is biased" crap in my thread. It's supposed to be about 16X SLI AA.

Well, I think 16x AA looks great, but not economical really since, well...you need 2 video cards to run it well, and even so they were on older less demanding games. Could you try running that on say, Far Cry or UT2004 and see how that goes?

 

[JackBurton]

I'm pretty dang happy with 4X AA. If I'm running at 1920x1200 with 4X AA, I don't think I'll need anything higher. Call me a man that is easily satisfied.

You dont need 2 video cards. Nvidia cards have supported 16x from the get go.

Support is one thing, actually being playable is something completely different.

Right, but to run it well at a nice res, probably should have been specified more clearly. Say 1024x768 and up, it might not run that well on the latest games.

Right, my 5900 Ultra prob ably can't play most games well at 16x AA at any resolution.

BTW- Ackmed:

If it's "just as good" to post about the hardware after only reading about it, think about why you read about it at the places you do?

Is it because they have the hardware?

LOL

Tell me something, Rollo. Does this kind of crap make you not want to take what you know, and what you have, and just keep it to yourself? How many threads have we started (you and I), that things end up like this? It gets old after a while.

Ah, for every guy that points the jealous finger and hisses at me, there are two that thank me for taking the time. Sometimes I even get nice PMs thanking me.

I figure that you do it for the people that appreciate it, and try to tolerate the haters. I'd spend more time on this if I could, raising son, fishing, hunting, and work get in the way.

Arrg. Creig! I've said it TWICE now- I'm not dissing your card!

The analogy works with Cadillac and KIA. It would be sort of reversed if I said you were a KIA salesman driving a Cadillac, don't you think?

My whole point is that you argue vociferously about expensive hardware that you apparently don't feel is worth buying, and that it's a lot different to say "I feel this way because I have this stuff, and spent my money on it" than it it to say "I feel this way because I read an article; however, this stuff isn't worth the money to me".

If you're not even really a customer for it, why argue for it?

So if you're a Ferrari salesman, making $50k a year, you'd have to somehow buy a Ferrari to do your job? And if you are the CEO of Kia, you should be stuck buying a crappy compact car?

And you don't find the comparison to be the least bit derogatory? Whatever. You always see what you WANT to see anyhow.

I try to stay on top of ALL levels of hardware, whereas you feel only the most expensive hardware is worthy of your notice. Just because I don't feel the need to upgrade at this point doesn't mean that I won't recommend an item to somebody who DOES want to.

You just can't seem to grasp the fact that it's not necessary to own an item to be able to discuss it.

Very true. However, i would bet that a 6800 series processor could run CS 1.6 @ 16x/16x.

Obviously no one is going to manage that with HL2 or something, even with SLI perhaps.

Yeah that KIA comment would be fitting for a Volari of some sort, but a soft moded 9500 would be more comprable to Corolla with NOS.

I only have the demo of it, added a shot of 10X7 16X16X High Quality to the mix.

Wow even the crane doesn't have jaggies. Thanx.

It can't, and it doesn't. I've tried.

And that's at 10x7 (!). You're most welcome, happy to help.

[deadseasquirrel]

So is SLI AA another SLI rendering mode?? For example, when you choose SLI Antialiasing as the SLI rendering mode, are you not doing AFR or SFR anymore? In my experience, I've found more games to be compatible with AFR than SFR. How is compatibility with the SLI AA mode? And what kind of performance hit should I expect with 2x6800GTs?
