d2_coast_05, Car demo, Eye Candy Mode

With full-scene antialiasing and anisotropic filtering activated, the Car demo begins to offer even better scalability, even though its microprocessor dependence is also clear.

Given more efficient full-scene antialiasing pattern of ATI RADEON hardware, the X800-parts increase their lead over the comparable GeForce 6800-series as the resolution grows. Still, we must say that even in 1280x1024 performance mainstream graphics cards with up-to-date architecture and rapid pixel and vertex shaders engines can deliver pretty normal performance. In 1600x1200 ATI’s hardware lead over NVIDIA’s products is being accentuated, even though NVIDIA’s GeForce 6 series provides pretty fine speed for every segment.
