Trilinear Filtering Comparison(R420 vs R360 vs NV40 vs NV38)

[volt]

This doesn't seem live

Andy/Raja We try to keep the control panel as simple as possible (even as its complexity increases), and if the image quality is identical or better there doesn't seem to be a need to turn it off. However, if our users request otherwise and can demonstrate that it's worthwhile, we would consider adding an option to the control panel.

Wow that is kind of an arrogant answer. I'm suprised he would put it that way.

If they need to keep their cheats, then all reviews should be invalid since it's not an apples to apples comparison.

Is it echo or have I seen you say that same sentence like 10 times already?

its the new nv40 pisxel shader 3 dynamic looping

Another thought he would have been better off saying "no we don't see any value in having this option"

I wonder how relevant the contents of my wallet are to their definition of "worthwhile" :?

TheRock will full trilinear filtering be allowed to be set in the drivers ?

Customer feedback just isn't the same anymore We also have to demonstrate

Won't they even consider a registry entry that one of the tweakers can change?

I actually laughed out loud with that

LoL....someone signed in as Jen Hsun Huang...

Hahha, he has style

gs. When will ATI restore full trilinear so that review sites can actually rebench and retest your cards, since any previous review benchmarks is invalidated by this cheat/optimisation/whatever?
Andy/Raja We have never removed "full trilinear". We certainly do not believe that any benchmarks have been invalidated by our techniques. In all cases reviewed so far we believe that we have higher image quality than other implementations.

Sphinx Question 1 : Is Ati cheating if Colored MipMaps are enabled and shows True FULL_TRI AF and Only Then. Like the Article in ComputerBase.de Descripe it as such one.
Andy/Raja Absolutely not. If it were the case that we were only performing full trilinear with coloured mipmaps then you might have a point, but this is emphatically not what we do. We take advantage of properties of texture maps for performance and IQ gains. In cases where we are not able to determine that the texture content is appropriate for these techniques we use legacy trilinear filtering. This includes cases such as dynamically uploaded texture maps where we avoid performing analysis so as not to cause any possible gameplay hitches.

Wow, some of those questions so far are so vague you get nothing but what thier "Official Response" that Driver Heaven recieved had already answered.

Can you say, "Scripted?"

Today will go down in history... as the not so live "Live" chat. lmao...

astaroth is x800's hardware able to do "traditional" trilinear or is the new algorithm completely hardwired (not that I would mind ??

Andy/Raja The X800 hardware is capable of all features of previous generations, and many more besides.

im sorry but that was a complete waste of a question

they are only answering questions that they can reply to with reworded versions of the press statement

 

[hovz]

and i think the ati guys just left

 

[NV-NDA]

It's over already?

 

[tEd]

well this chat was useless

Depends on the contents, but the 3 year old condom, drivers license, & the picture that came with the wallet probably aren't very worthwhile.

I feel the anger coming....urge to burn things...

I wish I could have that hour of my life back..

Java not enabled and/or wrong version. (my case)

Hey at least my question got answered...kind of hah
