^Yes ofcourse. But as far as I understood it this has nothing to do with which hardware has more power. But that the CPU from the PS3 can make AA and PC Cpus cant do that or just not so good. Which is not surprising because the Cell is not a classical CPU its a mix.


But ofcourse a highend GPU would crush the PS3 is anyone doubting that ?

A PC CPU or GPU could do this form of AA. But they have other more efficient methods to do it, so why would they bother? Pandemic would not have explored this method if the PS3s GPU was adept at AA.

Well, if you read the article, you would see that the results were BETTER than what they could get with a high end PC video card, with NO PERFORMANCE PENALTY. Again, read the article, I didn't write it, Digital Foundry wrote it.
