32 bit colours on voodoos

How does that translate into Nvidia being responsible for V5s inability to run Doom3 when the card does not have the necessary hardware features?

it dosent. but it dose relate to this cheap shoot you took at sharks post:

well-executed hardware development thwarting

A response in kind, unless of course you consider an attempt to somehow blame Nvidia for the result of 3dfx's hardware deficiency appropriate.

just to expand on what Colourless said on jitter control.
all D3D display registry settings are under

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Display\<adapter_number>\D3D

(for win98, that is) and 2x fsaa control is as follows:

SSTH3_PRIBUFVTXOFFX_2SMPL -- for controlling the 1st sub-sample offset along the x-axis
SSTH3_PRIBUFVTXOFFY_2SMPL -- for controlling the 1st sub-sample offset along the y-axis
SSTH3_SECBUFVTXOFFX_2SMPL -- for controllig the 2nd sub-sample offset along the x-axis
SSTH3_SECBUFVTXOFFY_2SMPL -- for controlling the 2nd sub-smaple offset along the y-axis

above entries are all of string type, and take arguments of the form "<integer_part>.&lt;fractional_part>" which control the x- or y-axis offset (i.e. 'jitter') of the respective sub-sample in respect to the macro-sample center. the valid randge for an offset covers at least the [-3.0, 3.0] interval, with effective graularity of 1/16 (i.e. 0.0625). the magnitude of the values passed corresponds to a factor of a pixel unit, i.e a value of 1.0 denotes an offset by one unit along the respective axis.

hope the above is of any help

Thanx

Nope 3dfx's hardware deficiency is due to 3dfx. Lack of DX8 3dfx drivers is due to nV not releasing source code as per MS request and stopping others from doing it.
