D3DAFTester

As with the R300, the first place to look at is the D3DAFTester, which would indicate any obvious and global changes in anisotropic filtering quality. Although it doesn’t see any game-specific changes, this is always a good place to start.


D3DAFTester, Tunnel Mode, 8x AF


D3DAFTester, Plane Mode @ 10x75, 8x AF

There’s really not much to say here about the quality of ATI’s filtering. It was consistent throughout all Catalyst revisions.

    What they can do is provide Control panel.

    Had they provided CP at least once a quarter, many customers would be happier and it would not require so much resources after all.

    As a result of CCC being the only option, we have decided to abandon all planned purchases of X1000 based graphics cards recently.
    The slowness is not the only issue, we've had also problems to meke CCC run at all(it is needed for multi-display configs).

    Hopefully ATI will come to their senses about CCC, as its now it isnt working for the demanding users at all. Average joe maybe dont know you can replace CCC with ati tray tools to help speed up things and thats sad. Please bring back the old control panel, please?

    The "mouseover" comparison at the bottom has one 3D Mark shot, and one HL2 shot.
