Comparing Anisotropic Filtering (continued)

ATI's Performance Aniso Mode vs. NVIDIA's Performance Aniso Mode

ATI 8X Performance

NVIDIA 8X Performance

It's a close call between these two, let's color those mip bands:


ATI 8X Performance


NVIDIA 8X Performance

Finally, NVIDIA's claim that their "performance" mode offers equal to or greater quality than ATI's is actually true. The benefit here is that NVIDIA actually does some (albeit a small amount) of trilinear filtering in their performance aniso mode, which smooths the transitions between the different mip levels. The tables have turned and now it's ATI's turn to play catch-up and make their performance mode look better.
