I remember from voodoo5 days that AA filtering was made possible by drawing
an image at high resolution, say 4 times the normal display res. and then
scaling it down, thus eliminating the jaggies and getting smooth picture.
This however was a very slow process.
Can someone tell me is it the same process in current DX9 cards, like 9600,
9700, 9800 and 5700 5900?
Also does radeon8500/Gf3 class cards uses the same methos?
I initially tought there might be some link between DX9 capable cards, and
having less performance hit with AA enabled?
