well if you look carefully the Quake3 Arena pic has no AA enabled hehe, it's as clear as a shot on a 6000 or even 5500 would be, 3dfx VSA-100 = 3dfx VSA-100 , if you have 1, 2 4 or even 8 chips the 3D image quallity is always the same, when FSAA x2. x4 or x 8 is applied, the image quallity does increase, though the Voodoo5 6000 and AALchemy 8164 are the only 2 that can do FSAA x8, FSAA x4 on the 5500, 600 & 8164 the image would still look the same.

FSAA x2 can only be done on the 4500,5500 and 6000 out of the 4, rather odd that the 8164 can't do FSAA x2.

Wow

I had no idea the AA5 had this feature;

Enable AAnisotropic Texture Filtering: Enabling AAnisotropic Filtering will give applications the ability to
perform the advanced feature of anisotropic texture filtering. Anisotropic filtering can greatly improve the
image quality of textures applied to long thin objects. When viewing these objects from an angle (like
looking down a road), the blurring effect caused by traditional texture filtering techniques is very noticeably
reduced with anisotropic texture filtering turned on.

That is too cool 8)

yeah I know that the Voodoo5 5000 AGP can do FSAA x2, but it was just an example I mentioned,

because the Voodoo4-2 4200 PCI 16MB DDR, Voodoo4-2 4200 PCI 32MB DDR, Voodoo4-2 4800 AGP 32MB DDR, Voodoo4 4800 AGP 64MB SDR, Voodoo5 5000 PCI, Voodoo5 5500 AGP x4, Voodoo5 5500 AGP x4 +DVI, Voodoo MAC 4500 and 5000 can also do FSAA x2, but then the list wil be so long hehe, that is why I took the common models instead as an example.

Well being a demo program I can fly around if I like but there isn't much to shoot at.

Yes- With all the graphics details cranked to max in Q3 including 32 bit textures & 32 bit color.

There is a few more Q3 shots on the AAlchemy page at 3dfx.ch utilizing the link above.

I may fire up a game later and get some model shots.

man that looks nice Gary Tongue

, Jedi Knight Jedi Outcast is one of the best FPS games in the StarWars universe, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy might also be worth a go, it uses the same engine , only it's has better details and nice Light Saber modes, I have Dual Light Sabers Blue and Green Grin

Would be nice to have a Saber match Gary Wink

The 8164 while darker (which might be nothing more then gamma adjustment in display properties I have not set yet) has nicer Image Quality compared to a V5-6000.

Clearly there is a better level of filtering going on with the 8164, just look close at the armour edges.

And in this case it does look to be faster then a V5-6000.

Serious Sam runs.

Found out something funny this morning- The Wicked3d mini driver works with 8164.

Unreal does not run, neither does Doom3.
