'SamX' in our forums has produced an Anisotropic filtering test which to test how Hardware implements Anisoptropic Filtering. The test and the source code is now available for download here.

I'd like to see some results from a wide set of boards if possible, so if you could run the application with the default settings, but max anisotropic filtering for your board and send a screenshot of the results to wavey@beyond3d.com we should be able to compile a nice set of results.

Edit: Whoops - one other change from the default setting when taking a screenshot is to have the Mipmaps radio buttons set to 'Full Colored'

Update: OK, thanks guys. I've received lots of submissions for contemporary hardware, however I think some stuff on slightly older chips that support Anisotropic filktering would be good. I've not seen anything from GF2's and KYRO's etc.

Another Update: So far we have good shots from KYRO (1), GeForce (1), GeForce2 MX, GeForce2 GTS, GeForce3, GeForce4 Ti, Mobility Radeon, Radeon 8500 and Radeon 9700. Thanks Guys.

I have never learned how to take a screenshot in windows. Could anyone please educate me?

Dave Baumann · 02-Oct-2002, 22:02

alt-printscreen, ctrl-v (in image application!)

Oompa Loompa · 03-Oct-2002, 05:45

Actually, it's just PrintScreen - you don't need the Alt.

printscreen gives you a full screenshot, where alt PRtScrn gives you a pic from the active Window

just sent you a screnshot from a GF2MX
does anyone know if a Voodoo2 or Ati Rage Pro support Aniso. filtering? i have these cards laying around, and could take some screenshots.

neither do. and basically, v2 doesn't have anything over vsa100

And I can tell you, that on a laptop with Rage Mobility you just get a big black dot on an otherwise white background

Randell · 04-Oct-2002, 14:33

Did the S4 have any drivers whichenabled its AF? That would be interesting.

The Savage4?

Yes, there was a driver that forces Aniso in D3D only. No reg tweaks.
I dont remember the exact driver version.
its one of thse: 80905, 80907, 80908 or 80909.

And in the 3D Mark 99MAX(It was long time ago sn i used a Savage4

) Filtering tests you can see that it does AF in every test.

Geo · 05-Oct-2002, 03:05

So when is the collection going to be posted?

Anonymous · 05-Oct-2002, 04:54

Could you please keep the first post updated with the cards that you already have the shots for? It'd really help us with access to several cards (though not in here with me at the moment) to check if it's worth to go and run the program on them.

oh well I dont think those drivers ever turned up when I had one

Someone must have on integrated one somewhere (hang on - I've got one at work, though updating drivers is probably a sackable offence

)

Dave Baumann · 07-Oct-2002, 16:46

I could still do with a screenie of a Parhelia if anyone has got them. Also, I wouldn't mind some of a few different driver revs of a GF4 Ti (specifically 40.41 and 30.xx). Send them in png, tga, or zipped bmp formats if possible.

Cheers.

the following driver has support for anisotropic filtering : 8.09.02
and this driver disables it : 8.09.05 (due to some bugs)
i am not sure but these ones probably dont have support for it : 8.09.05, 8.09.07, 8.09.08 or 8.09.09
