Im just wondering if they have AA (Anti Aliasing) on in the e3 videos... maybe a stupid question, but it looks like they had it on.

I would say they almost definitely have Anti-Analysing on, probably 8x

Re: levels of AA:
HL2 was shown at ATi's booth. The maximum level of anti-aliasing supported in hardware on ATi cards is 6x. This causes severe performance loss. ATi's 2x AA is viable in most environments for a very small performance hit, and really does clean up jaggies pretty well.
8x AA - as far as I know, only supported on GF FX products - causes crippling performance losses in present games, let alone next-generation engines...
Trying to derive the nuances of graphical settings from compressed video is kind of silly. Hence Bilko's rather clever dig: "anti-analysing 8x"
don't worry, i got one of those too :cheers:Originally posted by Vertigo
Fear my Geforce 2 MX! Can't even do Anti-Aliasing! Woooo...excuse me while I cry in a corner. I can't wait until I get my Alienware computer....two more weeks!
Bit off topic, but meh, I'm bored...

Bah, Alienware rules. They're overpriced, yeah, but they're like the Porsche of computers, man. People are willing to pay it, so why not? I would build one myself, but I'm going to University in a couple months, and want to avoid any hassles, and Alienware is a very trustworthy company. They also tweak everything to a very high-performance level. Anyway, back on topic...Originally posted by bonanzaguy

but i'd much rather build my own (which i did) not to mention save a sh*t load of money
Yeah, once again, I'll admit it's overpriced, but if you've seen the build quality of those machines, it's wayyyy better than I could ever do. The cooling system is nothing short of revolutionary, the wiring's exquisite, and they tweak all the hardware to a perfect balance between performance and the hardware's safety (overclocking a vid card, for example). Anyway, I think it's a worthy investment. It'll last me a while.Originally posted by Apos
I was shocked at how expensive Alienware was. It's totally ridiculous. I could build a similar system out of individual parts and save almost 1000$. That's MAJOR moola.
