108 CrossFire™ Overview
pattern that does a better job of anti-aliasing near-horizontal and near- vertical edges, resulting in better overall image quality.
Two of the new Super Anti-aliasing modes use a combination of MSAA and SSAA to achieve the ultimate in image quality. They work by not only using different multi-sample locations on each GPU, but also by offsetting the pixel centers slightly. In effect, each GPU renders the image from a different viewpoint, about half a pixel width apart. The new 10x and 14x Super Anti-aliasing modes operate in this manner, combining 2x SSAA with 4x and 6x MSAA, respectively.
Both of these modes work together with SmoothVision™ HD Anisotropic Filtering (AF).
The new Super Anti-aliasing modes can be enabled by users through the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center interface.
Note: Enabling the Super Anti-aliasing modes (x8, x10, x12 x14), disables performance enhancing multi-GPU rendering to provide better image quality.
