AMD's AF fix proven false

[RaZz!]

It's called optimization. The point is that the high quality setting is better than the previous generation. That's all that matters. That's all any of us is going to use anyway.

If you want to see some crap in your games, set you settings to "bilinear filtering" and see if the low quality AF doesn't look a lot better.

no, that's not all that matters. this way it's a bluff package. most people never touch these settings, so in fact they get worse quality than the previous generation.

for me, it's a no-go that - out of the box - a newer generation is worse than its predecessor (no matter in what manner).
unfortunately, it's always ati/amd that puts itself in such situations. over and over again.
after the poor filters of the 7800 series nvidia improved the IQ with every new generation, whereas with ati/amd it has always been a rollercoaster ride - and i seriously don't know why.

don't get me wrong, ati/amd has very good graphics cards, but these little things always make think "WHY OH WHY?".
is it too much to ask to get smth right after the 3174632714th try?

would be a big effing deal if it was an nvidia card, would get many many long winded rambling manifestos as to why one should never compromise on IQ.

i completely agree, even though in other cases it's the other way around.

for me it doesn't matter who the black sheep is. name it nvidia or amd - i'll criticize both for fails and stupidness
