Anti-aliasing differences
I found in L4D when i was going through the different options of aliasing i found that the options are...
2x msaa 4x msaa 8x csaa 16x csaa 8x msaa 16xq csaa in that specific order. and I just got a new graphics card (EVGA 9800GT) and i upgraded from an old 7600GT (AGP8x) and i could only do 4x msaa and now I'm wondering what the difference is between these different types of Anti-aliasing. thanks for any help to this question ^^

CSAA looks like it's nvidia's name for basic AA in the GeForce 8 series.

No idea...I haven't looked into the intricacies of mVidia's AA methods in about 4 years. I've only dealt with ATi lately and those cards only offer different levels, not different methods like nVidia does.
If you do some searches for video card reviews for your video card, they usually do a few pages of comparative AA testing. I'd take a look at tomshardware.com first. |
