Superior visual quality: We’ve said it in the past and we’ll say it again. If you want the best visual quality, ATI’s DirectX 9 offerings are the best around. ATI’s anti-aliasing engine looks sharper than NVIDIA’s, some have even likened ATI’s 2x AA to NVIDIA’s 4x AA implementation. And with sample rates as high as 6x available, even the most discriminating gamer should be in heaven.
As far as anisotropic filtering goes, ATI has a very compelling solution. Their offerings are more flexible than NVIDIA’s and look just as good if not better. Another important advantage ATI’s AF solution has over NVIDIA’s is their reduced performance hit (which you can see in our GeForce FX 5900 Ultra preview article). As an added bonus, you lose very little texture quality when going from ATI’s “performance” mode for AF to “quality” (the default setting).
