can someone take a screenshot from any of today's games, with the LOWEST screen resolution, the HIGHEST antialiasing and quality?


im just wondering how it looks like, cause i can't do it myself (gf2mx200).

yeh i'll have a go.... sounds fun
hmm... lets see what games have i got
i'll do it in C&C: generals
next post will have the pics

after some mucking around and side tracking
i got some screenies of some Anti- Aliasing for you
colin mcrae rally 3 demo
i used this because generals wasn't a very good example

1024x768 no AA


1024x768 6x AA


1280x1024 no AA


1280x1024 6x AA


damn that looks good.... lol might have to use anti-aliasing more often

You want High AA and Low res?
these are took on a Geforce 4 ti 4400 with 12x Anti Aliasing enabled
you will need a 3rd party utilty to use AA above 4xs on a Geforce 4.

First
AA running grandia II, a Pc port of an PSX2 game that has a huge prob with jaggies
640*480 12x AA


Next No AA 640*480



See the diff, and this is just at 640*480@32bpp 12x Runs well up until 1024*768, and still on older games usable till 1280*1024.

wow thx!

can u get 12x AA for an ati card?? do u know??

I only have a budget ATi card (9000pro) but it will do 6x FSAA in Quality or Performance mode.... I'm pretty sure the higher models will do a lot more.

I'll post a couple of shots of morrowind bloodmoon 640x480 6xFSAA 16xAnsiotropic when I find my copy of PS7 to jpeg the shots.

not sure but i do think ATI is limited to 6x, its totaly unoffical support for nvidia cards anyway, but it works. 12x AA is a good reason Vcards need more then 128mb of vram, check out this 3dmark score, bout killed my geforce 4 for it

yeh the highest i could go with that colin mcrae was 6x.....

heres 3dmark 2k1 scores for the geforce 4 ti 4400
12x AA 8x ani 640*480 16bit
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6615317
belive it or not at with 12x aa with ani disabled theres only like a 200point diff same goes for 1024*768 32bpp

very poor scores, but the gf4 really wasn't meant to do anything but 2x with anyreal speed anyhow.

im not really into overclocking atm
my system runs beautiful
once me games run too slow maybe then i will start OC'ing
or maybe consider my next upgrade

Can anyone help me: How do you take a snapshot of the game?
thanks

12x ?

You sure?
The maximum is achieved by ATi cards (6x), and Nvidia FX cards (8x - although its badly done)

yes all the geforce 3/4/fx family can use AA up to 12x, and all the ancient OGSS modes can also be forced to be used to, you jus need to do some reg tweaks or use a thrid party utility like riva tuner. that screen shot of grandia at 640*480 is 12x AA its insanely effecitive jaggies are almost gone even at sutch a low res.

area51.... to take a screenshot I just press the print screen button, and then alt-tab out of the game into photoshop or the like and paste..... i haven't been bothered getting any special screeny program
