<h2><font face="Arial" size="3"><b>GeForce 2 GTS vs. Voodoo 5 : Fight!<br>
</b></font><b><font face="Arial" size="2">Posted by <a href="mailto:jason@bjorn3d.com">Avogadro</a> @ 18:24 -
</font></b></h2><p><font face="Arial" size="2">Extreme Hardware has posted an interesting debate on the GeForce 2 GTS and the Voodoo 5. There's some nice speculation on the different FSAA methods between the cards and also the wide range of benchmark results we're seeing. Here's a part of the FSAA debate:<br><br>Now unless you&#8217;ve been living in a hole, you&#8217;ve probably heard quite a bit of rhetoric thrown around from 3dfx on the benefits of FSAA, and exactly what certain other card manufacturers would have to do to equal 4X FSAA. Here&#8217;s the second hand account, straight from 3dfx:<br><br>"To get 3dfx quality 4X FSAA, Nvidia needs a 16x supersample. They only do 4x supersample now... Their FSAA is closer to 3dfx's 2X FSAA. That is why the benchmarks show Nvidia FSAA vs. 3dfx 2X FSAA. Nothing touches 3dfx 4X FSAA in image quality." - Bubba Wolford, 3dfx Interactive, Inc.<br><br>And a rebut:<br><br>"...I downloaded the 3dfx 2 taps FSAA TGA shots of Ritual's SIN, which still showed tons of jaggies. I fired up the game on my GeForce, and it was comparable to the 4x taps AA shots you put out..." - JvG<br></font>
