NVIDIA has been releasing all sorts of GeForce GF100 Fermi video cards facts on Facebook and Twitter for the past month. Tonight they just posted up that the GF100 supports a brand new 32x anti-aliasing mode for ultra high-quality gaming! This is an interesting piece of news and at this rate it will be curious to see what secrets of the card they have not mentioned!

NVIDIA GeForce GF100 Fermi Video Card Facts

• GF100 is the codename for the first GeForce GPU based on the Fermi architecture!
• The GF100 board is 10.5-inches long -- the same length as GeForce GTX 200 Series graphics cards!
• GF100 packs in over 3B (billion!) transistors
• The GF100 supports full hardware decode on the GPU for 3D Blu-Ray
• GF100 graphics cards will provide hardware support for GPU overvoltaging for extreme overclocking!
• GF100 supports a brand new 32x anti-aliasing mode for ultra high-quality gaming!

Okay. That's just silly.

mmm with 4x I can't see any type of aliasing. Did they just spend millions of dollars developing something as useless and stupid like this?

What a waste. People die of hunger in the streets.

............I don't get it. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Cut to 448SPs from 512, either due to yield or power issues. Clock speeds are lower than previous gen Teslas. Going by typical Tesla/Geforce differences, the Geforces should have the same TDP (225W, I'd like to see them make a dual card out of that) and lower clocks than GT200 Geforces.

I agree with you... unless we get a reasonable explanation on this.

PS: I love the banner in your signature.

Is there no benefit it 32xAA ? What sense would it make to create such a chip

Full credit for the banner goes to BrainBoxLtd. Who sadly doesn't show up here much anymore.

Ok. I don't know him, however.

Oh, and sorry for derailing...

current GPUs support 16x AA, this is double that. You people act like this is insane, but this is progress. Frankly ATI should support this, there shouldnt be ANY jaggies with 32x like there is with 16x.
