Jim,

I ran into this post when I was visiting the alt.nvidia newsgroup. I was wondering if you could comment on it.

If you choose not to comment, it will not hurt my feelings.

However, I've run into something that seems very strange to me--don't understand why this is happening. I have a registered copy of the popular Serene Screen "Aquarium" screensaver, and enabling FSAA absolutely KILLS the frame rates on it. At 1024x768 with FSAA off, I get about 250 FPS. With
FSAA at 2x, this plummets to ~40 FPS, and drops further to ~23 FPS with quincunx enabled. I've never heard of this kind of performance hit with NVidia's current FSAA technology. Can anybody enlighten me as to what the heck is going on??

Thank you for your decision.
