LOL, guess your wrong. ATI 9800 Pro here, set at 4x AA and 16x AF all =

Huh? Wrong about what?

And why are you trolling a Nvidia newsgroup if you have an ATI? That's makes
as much sense as...well it doesn't make any sense.

What's even funnier is that when 3dfx first brought out AA, people all over
were ridiculing them, saying they were introducing features that weren't
needed, instead of being the speed king. Now, every card out there touts how
good their AA performance is, and a lot of gamers won't play without it.

Get a clue before you go around spreading BS.

I'm returning the answer to you ; and please stay polite with people on
Usenet. Cinematographic movies are played at 24fps (unless you only go
to Imax theatres, but I really doubt it).

Please read some more into the subject. Some of the highlights:

* Computer games aren't movies

* See above

Some ignorant people probably ridiculed them for features not being needed,
but they were wrong. AA is definitely needed and is only going to become
MORE needed as time goes by. More polygons in games will lead to more
aliasing, hence more AA required.

Other people probably criticized 3dfx for placing such heavy emphasis on AA
when they didn't have the horsepower to maintain a decent screen update
speed. That's a more valid complaint. However today, graphics cards do have
that horsepower. Well, unless you bought a GFFX5200 that is... *cough*

I run with constant 2x quincunx AA and 4x AF on my GF3.

Now, every card out there touts how
good their AA performance is, and a lot of gamers won't play without it.

Times change man, and thankfully so!

Well, I must say Quincunx makes my games look..nice and smooth. I can
play without but I rather play with :-)

Ravenshield though..heavy game...don't use AA in it..then again..don't
need AA there.
