4X FSAA |
|
Naturally, with
4X FSAA enabled, we expected to see major drops in
performance across the board. At 1600x1200, no card
could return a playable frame rate, so we just ran it at two
popular resolutions.
Only the Ti4200
was playable at 1024x768. Once we set the resolution
to 1280x1024, all bets were off. The thing to notice
though is how all of the cards, with exception to the
Ti4200, were a dead heat through out.
In the next few
tests, we ran a few scores with Anisotropic Filtering
enabled. This is historically where ATi cards tend to
shine.

32-TAP Anisotropic
Filtering |
|
First we set up
the test with for 32-TAP filtering and let the benchmark do
its thing.
With 32-TAP
Anisotropic Filtering enabled, not only did the Radeon 9000
Pro dominate the MX440, it held its own against the more
powerful Ti4200.
To round things
out, we'll enable 64-TAP Anisotropic filtering and see if
the trend continues.
