Anisotropic Filtering Performance Impact
Let’s now estimate the performance of the GeForce 6800 at performing AF. We chose the highest anisotropy levels for the graphics cards:










The performance hit experienced by the NV40 after we enable anisotropic filtering is at a level with the competitors, at worst. In best cases, the graphics card doesn’t slow down at all as its performance is limited by the central processor’s speed.
