I still swear by my Hercules 3D Prophet 4500, best graphics card I've ever bought. Ah she was a beaut.
I, for one, welcome our SiS onboard overlords.

Just got MLAA up and running on my 5850. Haven't seen it in action yet but I have to say I'm not impressed by how it smudges text up on CSS server browser/menus. Maybe I've done something wrong? I'll get a screenie up later

That's how it works, it essentially blurs areas of high contrast so text will get smudged too:
I suppose it's the pay-off for having virtually no frame rate impact.

That's how it works the whole image gets the MLAA treatment, textures, text ect. It's equivalent to looking at your screen slightly out of focus.

About the same effect as 8 pints of mid strength larger in my estimations. I'll go back to proper AA me thinks

If your game doesn't contain lots of text, I think it's a fantastic additional option. I'd certainly try it out if I had the option

I think some people are just being too picky. If you don't like it, don't use it, simple really!If your game doesn't contain lots of text, I think it's a fantastic additional option. I'd certainly try it out if I had the option
I think it looks like it works well myself, I'm sure with things moving it will look a lot better compared to a static zoomed in or resized screenshot...
Would it be possible to see a 1080p video of it in action on youtube or does fraps not work here?It looks good to me, in fact my 8800GT can run most games at 1900x1200 nicely with AA off, turn AA on though and it struggles, so this new AA would be ideal for me.
Soldato
Maybe it's just CSS, didn't like the effect with it. I'd try BC2 but I can't connect to EA... normally use 4x AA in that at 1920x1080, I'm interested to see what this is like

One draw-back of MLAA is its potential for 'snap to pixel' because it lacks sub-pixel precision. This means still shots and slow moving/still scenes will look great, especially for close up action, but moving scenes and detail far from the camera may not look as good. Single pixel width text may become unrecognizable, for example an in-game background computer screen in a scene with terminal commands becomes a mushy mess.

The technology is very good. Played some old games arma / silent hunter and it looks very very good IMHO. Rez is important to don't try this with anything less than 1080p.
It's amazing how many critics there are for something that u need to experience to evaluate....But then again some ppl see the world through green glasses.

Could you just be clear that you are quoting from an article rather than writing it yourself
(just to avoid confusion, not trying to start a fight )Good to get the feedback, will be looking for the further article they mention where they will be going into the pro's and con's in more depth.
