    lol xmas posted while I was editing my post :-?

    I was thinking that the odd weighting could just be down to the fact that this part of the drivers isn't properly finished yet.

    I don't think it's a bug. It's much easier to divide by eight than by six. And Quincunx already divides by 8.

    The latest version of aTuner has the modes already built in for DirectX for the secret modes. Madden 2003 on my machine at 1024x768 32 bit runs pretty smooth on my Ti 4400 in 6x mode. 8x mode runs but I drop down to 800x600 32 bit.

    My CPU is Athlon XP 1900+ at 1680 140 MHz bus.

    [Edited] Screenshots of aTuner with the additional FSAA modes in this MadOnion link:

    Will this tweaking enable Ti 4400 or 4600 to catch up the lost ground with Radeon 9500 Pro or 9700 in FSAA and Anisotropic Filtering??

    zym, no, those cards will always be slower with lower quality AA (ie: non-gamma corrected). These new modes are even more taxing (higher performance hit) than the officially supported modes.

    No. If you use one of the new AA modes and max aniso, you will get excellent image quality - but it will be an order of magnitude slower then Radeon 9700. You will get very good performance if you use low aniso and AA setting, but then it will look much worse then Radeon 9700. Considering that you get either great IQ or great performance but not both, I would hardly call that catching up.
