NVIDIA Announces 16x AA For SLI
In response to ATI's CrossFire launch,
NVIDIA has revisited a few points about their own solution, as well as revealed some sneak peeks into the future of their SLI
technology.
Of course, one of the key points NVIDIA wanted to make was that their game support is no less than ATI's. Initially, either games needed profiles setup in order to run, or users had to know how to hack the NVIDIA XML file. NVIDIA is now offering the ability to enable user selected SLI modes for games that do not have profiles. Profiles will take precedence over user selected modes, but even games whose profiles disable SLI will allow the user to force it on.
Their other real point of contention with ATI is their claim that they add quality options where NVIDIA does not. As we know, ATI is enabling 10xAA and 14xAA options for games that don't see any real benefit from SLI otherwise. In order to top the announcement that ATI made, NVIDIA has revealed that they are planning on bringing out a 16xAA mode via SLI in a driver to be launched in early July.
