4K TVs Continue To Rise Despite TV Shipments Dropping

Quit being an idiotic troll!

Insults out? OK.

I've forgotten more about this subject than you could hope to learn in your fucking life you half witted ignorant shit.

As for SG:SSAA, no it doesn't suck - you need to set a negative texture LOD with it though otherwise it does cause a loss of sharpness in textures.  Not my fault you didn't know about that.

If your retarded ass would have bothered to look it the fuck up- the exact problem I warned 3dfx engineers about with their particular implementation of AA on the VSA-100 is that they were using a default LOD bias calculation when they needed to drop it to negative for the 4x sampling of the same visual space. I knew that by reading a fucking white paper you helmet head. You think you know jack shit about rendering? Really? Again, this shit is public record- I looked at a mathematical representation of what their hardware was going to be doing and told them what visual anomalies they would have and how to fix it looking at a fucking equation, but no, your half witted ass is trying to explain things to me, and you call me an ignorant troll...... 

Voodoo 1 & 2 intentionally set blurry LOD for texturing

No, they didn't you ignorant fucktard, they used the standard calculations based on the screen space and angles they were displaying at.

That's shit I was reading years before you were anywhere near a tech forum. Study that book for a few years, and when you are done with that I will start to answer the beginner level fucking questions you would be worthy of asking.

P3wnd.

I laughed pretty hard at this, even read the first line to my wife when she asked why I was laughing so hard.

What is your degree in Ben? Is it engineering or some kind of math? You seem to have a better understanding of the subject than the run of the mill whitepaper/review echo chamber crowd like me and GStan.

Personally I don't care enough anymore to read the whitepapers anymore. (and my degrees are in psychology and business, spent the last 20 years working with business software so none of that dovetails with comparing the methods of AA and their relative strengths)

The whole tech forum/gaming review industry has always kind of fascinated me. It's basically a marketing vehicle. You have a bunch of non tech people like me*, Apoppin, etc invited to tech demos where they are spoon fed dumbed down info about the new parts, given the new parts.

This group of "interested enough to spend some time with it" folks dumbs it down further to feed the mildly interested masses who want to spend an hour researching before they spend their $300-$500..

The forums are populated by people who are interested enough to be the spoon fed group, often employed in various capacities in the tech industry. (not the actual people who know though- they would never waste their time marketing outside of the tech demos that I would guess are the least favorite part of their jobs)

*back in the days I got the invites to NVIDIA press events

EDIT: By "non tech people" I mean "non engineers". Compared to Apoppin I'd be "tech person" as I've spent about 20 years doing software support, training, implementation, QA, some design assistance, but I'm still "non tech" compared to the engineers who design the stuff or code for it. Apoppin has never worked in any tech industry, he's just a hobbyist who runs benchmarks, and parrots info from NVIDIA. (both from whitepapers and their staff)
