I took a bunch of screenies and will post them later.

I personally find everything too jaggie at 1360x768. And yes, depending on the LCD, non native rez can look quite bad.

And yes Cobra, AF and AA are entirely different things.

Where did AF come from?  That was out of left field.  I thought we were talking about AA.  Of course I use AF.  It's not a huge hit on performance and the difference with it on and off is easily noticible.

It was worked into the conversation when Que mentioned it and Cobra followed up on it as well.

What the fuck Pug?  I haven't been hostile or extreme in the least.  I offered my take on the technology, nothing more.  At this point it's little more than a nice little party trick because nobody's *done* anything with it.  How is that extreme or hostile or anything other than my opinion?  And who was even arguing?  My initial statement could be summed up as "I wouldn't worry about it" re: W7RE's concerns, and everything that followed was an explanation since my intent was misconstrued as condescending when it wasn't meant to be.  I know I can be a bit abrasive because I'm a jackass, but shit.

I never said you were hostile, though you seemed... angry. I apologize if I got it wrong. The tone of language used in your comments made it seem like you were really worked up about it or something. It just felt out of proportion.

But yea, it was as if W7RE was trying to start a discussion on it, and you really went off on it (out of left field as Scottws likes to say) like PhysX had raped someone you knew or something. It almost felt like the people behind the tech were telling us that we wouldn't be able to use it, unless we took it in the form of a pill, suppository style. :P

But maybe the problem was in my interpretation.

As for it being a gimmick... yes it probably is... but aren't they all gimmicks? The whole video card thing is a gimmick just designed to make the visual experience as realistic and entertaining as possible.

Now you're just arguing semantics.  I didn't (or at least didn't mean to) "go off on it", I was just trying to compare it to many technologies that have been in the same position.  It may have potential, but there isn't much to sink your teeth into until that potential is realized.

Not bad!  I shouldn't be tempted, but I haven't played a good shooter in a while and that one looked cool...

I was tempted, but couldn't really find something else I also wanted cheap enuff that I missed to push it over $25 for free shipping.
