FSAA & Image Quality Comparison - 3dfx vs ATI vs NVIDIA

3dfx vs ATI vs NVIDIA

Now that we've looked at each manufacturer individually, it is time to compare the three together. We compared each solution based on the number of samples the specific setting took; for example, in this first comparison we have 3dfx's 2 Sample FSAA versus NVIDIA's 1 x 2 (2 Sample FSAA).

While NVIDIA's shot may be sharper than the one we took on the Voodoo5 because of LOD bias tweaking present in the setting itself, the Voodoo5's 2 sample setting does have smoother edges along the corners of the buildings, etc... The comparison is a very close one, so it's up to you to decide.
