  • Need some help with G400 antialiasing

    I finally got the bloody thing working. I went back to the 4.whatever drivers included on the CD (4.11?). Also had to reformat and reinstall Win98. What a joy.
    Anyway, I finally got Quake 2 working..and its eems to run pretty decent (39 FPS @ 1152x864). Only problem is, edges in all games (not just Quake 2 based stuff) are horribly jaggy. I would think this has something to do with antialiasing, but what the heck do I do to fix it? All the eye candy in Mechwarrior kinda is cancelled out by the ugly jaggies.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    If what you describe is truly abnormal, anti-aliasing isn't your problem. Granted, it would certainly improve the quality, but at tremendous cost. No-one really does anti-aliasing. They all support it but it's a worthless feature: rendering in a higher res and then down-sampling is even more intensive than actually just running at higher resolution. So-called edge-anti-aliasing like that supposedly on the voodoo3 is not implemented in any games at all (the code is said to be very difficult to implement). The only games I've seen to do full-scene anti-aliasing are Rollcage and Populous 3. Enabled they both slow to a crawl on my TNT. You shouldn't have to implement anti-aliasing to get standard picture quality. So in summary I can't help you at all.
