Will the newer Nvidia cards for the macs ever get support for FSAA? Is it simply a lack of drivers from apple, or is it not supported in the hardware? Thanks
There is no emoticon for what I am feeling!

My system specs:

2 furry caches
17" diaganol quad pumped weener
198 lb ham
44x36x57 CWR
overpriced, underperforming, but sleek nonetheless.

I also have a G4.

There are no drivers for the Geforce 4 for the mac yet as far as i know. I also know that the Geofrce 3 drivers are not full featured yet. I heard that 10.2 will finally bring full support for these cards.

According to the nvidia site, the geforce 4Ti and MX have "Acuview Antialiasing�" but i dont know if it exactly like what ATI has.

Once I'm sure the next drivers support these features...I'll be buying a GeForce 3 or 4.

Sorry Guy Incognito, but the Geforce 2 DOES support FSAA and bumpmapping, but its OS X drivers don't

Oh well...the Dual-800 had to come with a graphics card...I took the least expensive because I figured that the speed boost of the GeForce 3 just wasn't significant enough for me to pay an extra 300 US dollars on it.
