Amazing... it took how many years after the G400's launch for something to support it's 2x AA?

**CHHAS** · 6 March 2002, 00:48

Someone make some benchmarks

**Venturer** · 6 March 2002, 04:11

You can also anable AA in Moto Racer 2!
But it's a software emulated AA!!!!!

Maggi, you can't enable AA in 3dMark 2001 even it s a D3d engine! That s because the kernel of 3dMark 2001 calls for a pure hardware AA only!

Hi Venturer,

to me it looks rather like 3D Fart asks for a T&L unit and if none is present, all has to be done in software, at least what they define as software D3D ...

I could be wrong though ...

**Venturer** · 6 March 2002, 10:46

Good statement!
Probably you are right.
I never had a card with a Graphic Processor unit so i can't answer you! My last (& best ) card i bought was G400MAX!

**Novdid** · 6 March 2002, 15:50

Well your card processes graphics right? In that case I would say it's nothing but a GPU.

**Venturer** · 7 March 2002, 01:04

A GPU is a Graphic processor that can do T&L in hardware! The first GPU at low cost (for home PC) was the Geforce!
G400MAX is only a graphic chipset, but not a "REAL" GPU!

Wow, even nVidia's own marketdroids can't regurgitate that as well as you. There's no such thing as a GPU.

Maybe you meant to put a smiley, but I don't see one.

**Venturer** · 7 March 2002, 05:30

Well Wombat (err i mean "little FISH"

) i notice you are still the same hothead!

Genius , do you know what exactly is a GPU? Can you answer me?
Here you can find the definition, GENIUS:

Page Not Found | NVIDIA

http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=gpu

Page Not Found

The technical definition of a GPU is "a single chip processor with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines that is capable of processing a minimum of 10 million polygons per second."

Now, do you think a GPU can't still exist?
Oh well, maybe that's only a commercial advice, GENIUS? Or it isn' t ?

I said you just one time: RETURN IN YOUR SUPER EGO, WOMBAT!

Don' t be angry. I was only joking!

**Maggi** · 7 March 2002, 05:56

temper guys, temper ...

Venturer, the link you posted is an exact reference to what Womby was talking about, ie. that is how NVidia defines a GPU ...

**Venturer** · 7 March 2002, 06:12

Well i know Nvidia makes poor quality chips compared to Matrox ones, but i doubt they can wrote something as a technical definition that isn't true or fully reliable!

Credibility is all for a big company!
