Upcoming PS/VS 3.0 cards from XGI ?

I think the maximum shader version supported is equivalent to the number of fans, the number of molex connectors, and the number of chips, and the shader version is also inversely proportional to the time it takes for the card to be declared a total failure.
Methinks they have to worry more about their current crop, offhand.

The current driver uses trilinear.
Are you referring to anisotropic (which isn't such a simple filtering technique as that) ?
Methinks they've pretty much wrote off their current crop, much like most.cthellis42 said:
Yes, I was referring to aniso and you're right, it's not that simple, but in this day and age should be considered a standard feature of a new graphics core. Especially if the company claims support.xGL said:incurable said:... or maybe someone will donate them a book about simple texture filtering techniques and they'll finally learn how to implement it correctly.

Oh, and as for trilinear, is that subject to XGI's cheating, too? Sorry to ask, but I can't seem to remember all the shenanigans they treated us with lately.

If you fail to implement basic industry standard filtering modes on an IMR, then switching to TBDR won't save you much either.
Filtering testing applications sure do show real trilinear if asked for, yet what real-time applications display is far from being true trilinear let alone the unacceptable overall blur. In fact I couldn't match that bluriness even with a +1.5LOD offset on competing sollutions last time I tried.
Anyway since we're at it: if you're referring to Trident bringing along the Talisman patents then thanks for the good laugh

The original GeForce supports 2x AF. I think the original Radeon might support AF too(not sure what degree).
There's not a single reviewer that has experienced equivalent to the competition LOD or texture filtering quality so far in any game, any review, any driver revision. If you're to get full trilinear quality on a Volari and acceptable LOD performance would drop through the gutter.
Trilinear was also available on Xabre if one would disable TurboTexturing modes. There's not a single screenshot from a Volari published so far that shows acceptable texture quality in case scenarios where performance is acceptable.
Case example:
Unacceptable output for high end graphics
Acceptable output for high end graphics
