[QUOTE="Baurus_1"]

FXAA only works with OpenGL games and not Direct3D games. AMD GPUs can use MLAA on nearly all games, whereas Nvidia GPUs can use MLAA in only a very few specific games. Also, FXAA is open-source and AMD GPUs can use FXAA as well.

FXAA works on ALL dx9 games, some dx10 and 11 as we speak.

Actually, yes you are correct. I was mistaken. FXAA works with DX9 games but not many DX10 and DX11 games. Therefore, it is not by any means an all-games-encompassing anti-aliasing solution. AMD's MLAA works on far far more games!

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]MLAA works fine on Nvidia cards. I could have sworn we went through the exact same thing about the AA solutions in a different thread.ferret-gamer

No, it does NOT work on Nvidia cards at all. It is an AMD GPU-specific feature. Show me any legitimate evidence on the web that MLAA is possible with Nvidia GPUs. You won't find any such evidence. Therefore, please don't just make up false claims.

Shogun 2. Deus Ex Human Revolution. Look them up, both have MLAA that works fine on both brands of cards. Heck the MLAA in SHogun 2 works on dx10 cards.

You just don't get it, do you? I am not talking about a few specific games that happen to have the MLAA feature/option built into the game itself which works with Nvidia GPUs. I am talking about true proper GPU drivers-integrated MLAA that is not dependent on the game offering it, and instead can be forced on nearly any PC game out there! That is what AMD has and Nvidia doesn't! Once again, two great examples are Risen and Divinity 2: TDKS. Nvidia has no anti-aliasing solution at all for these games, but AMD does and it's MLAA! This is a HUGE plus for AMD GPUs and a much more substantial visual improvement than Nvidia's Physx.

FXAA>MLAA and works on all cards (nvidia and AMD) without any hit to FPS... Win for all. jedikevin2
FXAA must be pre-programmed into games for compatibility. MLAA does not need this pre-programming and works with nearly any game.

AMD's Morphological Anti-Aliasing (MLAA) is a more useful feature than Nvidia's Physx. MLAA can be used to make nearly any game (even those that don't normally support anti-aliasing) look better. This is a big deal! Two examples of such games are Risen and Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga. These are both awesome games that Nvidia has no anti-aliasing solution for. As far as I know, MLAA does not work with Nvidia GPUs. Nvidia has other forms of anti-aliasing, but none can truly be forced on to nearly any game the way that MLAA can be forced on (and no, Nvidia's FXAA is not the same).

Therefore, AMD Radeon 6000 series GPUs have a feature that truly improves the gameplay experience far more than the few particle effects that Nvidia's Physx provides. And this AMD-specific feature is called Morphological Anti-Aliasing!

[QUOTE="Baurus_1"][QUOTE="04dcarraher"]Fact is that your back spewing AMD fanboyism. And you can take tri GTX 570's and get the results as tri 6970 for the same price range. msfan1289

No, you DO NOT get as good results with 570 Tri-SLI. Go check tomshardware.com reviews if you don't believe me.

may you please post a link up ill like to take a look at it.

Go search for it on Google. I don't feel like looking for the tomshardware.com article right now. Anyways, the 6970 scaled much better in Tri-CF than the 570 in Tri-SLI. And other articles on HardOCP showed that 6970 Tri-CF performs VERY similarly to 580 Tri-SLI.

Currently, the 6000 series of AMD GPUs scale much better in Crossfire than the 500 series of Nvidia GPUs in SLI.

For example, 6970 Tri-Crossfire gives very similar performance to 580 Tri-SLI, but the AMD solution costs approximately $400 less total (for all three GPUs).

You Nvidia fans can deny this all you want, but these are the facts.

HD 6970 = best price/performance GPU currently available.
