In various graphical discussion nowadays, frequently gamers talk about antialiasing and anisotropic filtering. These are advanced techniques used to improve the image quality of 3D graphics. But what exactly are they, and how do they work?

very good job.. thanx alot for this article.. many guys here must know more about graphic technologies..

good luck

marison6561d ago

If the guys here try to read more than one or two paragraphs that is not PS3 bash/enlightment or Xbox 360 bash/enlightment will be good!

Bebedora6561d ago

A very good read indeed. AFx16 FTW!

Dont we all just love AA and AF? I do :D

marison6561d ago (Edited 6561d ago )

"In the following image, we're going to zoom in a bit on one part of the image, so you can compare what it looks like without AA to the same view with 2x multisample AA applied. On modern graphics cards, this is the fastest, lowest-quality setting there is. On the Xbox 360, many claim that this level of AA is "free" and suffers no performance hit. Nothing is "free" in 3D graphics, but the performance penalty is probably quite small, thanks to the way the 360's graphics chip and embedded DRAM module work."

They do not talk about PS3 and Wii anti-aliasing, maybe because they do this in a more common way. But all explanation is a must read to anybody that wants talk about graphics effects knowing more than only the specifications launched with the console of choice.

I'm only teasing here, but this is true:

When Dreamcast owners made fun of the PS2 for not having anti-aliasing, Sony said it wasn't important.

Make of that what you will.

remember a certain company that said that HDMI and 1080p were not important...guess what happend later :)

ill give you a hint starts with a "E"

GameJunkieJim6560d ago (Edited 6560d ago )

If your TV supports it, it will do 1080 over VGA.

HDMI serves no purpose except for taking up an input on the TV (for the 360)

But at least Microsoft gives you a cable to use it with.

The main difference is that the Elite came out because people asked for it. Microsoft listened.

THWIP6561d ago

...but the difference between the bi-linear shot, and the 16x AF shot, is not even worth mentioning; yet, the author acts like there's a HUGE difference. ????

Bebedora6561d ago

if you look at the LoTR MMORPG pics.

The difference is big when looking at things in the distance. Very big difference.

I guess that means the game is trash?

PRIMORDUS2h ago

No it's good but for $70 and Denuvo DRM on PC hard pass.

pwnmaster30001h ago

Don’t matter, if it’s not hitting 100k+ it’s considered trash and a failure.
That’s the new standard apparently

This game just didn't excite me like the last 2. I'm passing on it this time.

Spin off vibe without the spin off price.

LucasRuinedChildhood3h ago

Could be affected by:
- A percentage of people will play this on GamePass which the last 2 games did not launch on.
- A percentage of players bought the Deluxe Edition which included early access, reducing the peak as players will start playing it on different days.

PRIMORDUS2h ago

Price most likely the issue, and while most don't know or care about Denuvo on PC, if you lower the price I'm sure it will sell more on all platforms.

VersusDMC1h ago

Well Clair obscure had the same situation(gamepass) and had a concurrent high of 150k and currently at 50k.

Around a 600 24hr peak on Steam at below 80% approval...I'm sure not too many people are worried about this.
