Anti-Aliasing Image Quality

Although we noticed no differences in image quality, we wanted to provide some screenshots to compare the AA modes that both ATI and NVIDIA offer. With the GeForce 6 series, NVIDIA finally offers a rotated grid AA solution, which is also present in the GeForce 6200.

The default images below are the ATI images; mouse-over to see the NVIDIA images:

 

AA off


Hold your mouse over for the NVIDIA image.

 

2X AA

Hold your mouse over for the NVIDIA image.

 

4X AA

Hold your mouse over for the NVIDIA image.


There are slight differences between the two AA methods, but the differences aren't too noticeable in actual gameplay. Both ATI and NVIDIA do a good job here. You can download high resolution screens of the scene that we tested 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.
