New Nvidia GeForce 8800GT Surprises
GeForce 8800GT: The Card and New Antialiasing Capability, Continued
First test with Test Drive Unlimited: we haven't found any difference between the 8800 GT's multisampling and the one of the GTX. Being as useless visually as before, there really isn't any use for this multisampling.

Supersampling Antialiasing 8X
Second test under Oblivion: this time the multisampling algorithm has really evolved and we can actually notice an undisputable visual improvement on the distant trees, compared to a standard antialiasing 8X. The supersampling is still ahead though (the leaves tend to disappear a lot less).
