Yeah its hard to believe, ain't it. Why don't you X2900XT owners check it first, before judging so called unfounded statements.

It looks like ingame AF don't filter all the texturestages, it defenitly isn't 16xAF.

Just to be clear, I'm only talking about ingame AF in this part. game.

Perhaps if you provided some source but just spouting that out people aint going to take much notice. I personally use 16xAF at all times through the CCC so wouldn't notice.
 
Tested counterstrike: source...

25 - 30 FPS increase \o/
Will test more games later.

Well, it's not my problem when people are "fooled" by not getting full (16x)AF with ingame AF in this game, but I'll finish what I started:

Beware for popups

Ingame max AF:

CCC 16AF:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AP79LQG9



Note, this is what I get with Vista64, maybe something is messed up in Vista64, I don't know, I've seen stranger things in this OS.

Quite a difference don't you think?

I'll check the links out later it may be just that game specifically has some problems enabling AF that's all. I know for a fact i've heard nothing like this so far and I think if it was a widespread issue the whole internet would know about it.

First of all.

Thanks for wasting 10mb of my bandwidth (Yes I do want that 10mb back :mad: )

There is no difference as far as I can see maybe your eyes are better than mine but I think your seeing things (or not).

Thanks for wasting my time

That is S.T.A.L.K.E.R one of the most unpredictable games performance/graphics wise In a while it wouldnt suprise me if the in game AF isn't applied properly, half the time the in built AA/Edge Smoothing dosn't activate properly.

Well I think at 1600x1200 there is an advantage, you dont need as much AA, which means better performance, as at my res I need 8xAA - 16xAA, and you know what needing no AA means at higher res on a HD2900XT ;)

Ahem ... yes you do, if you have a decent monitor, you can still see jaggies at 1920x1200 trust me ;)

Not as much AA is needed as at 1440x900.............................
