Full Scene Anti-Aliasing.

Term coined by Gary Tarroli of 3dfx and adopted by all others. Effectively
removes the jagged edges commonly seen in 3d graphics. 3dfx pioneered it
with their Voodoo 5 a few years back and ATI, Nvidia and Matrox have been
trying unsuccessfully to recreate the quality and speed of the V5's FSAA.
ATI's newest card, the 9700 Pro may very well have accomplished that.

Full Scene Anti Aliasing was something I couldn't do without when I had a
3dfx card. But the FSAA that I have on my MUCH FASTER Nvidia card just
doesn't come close to the clear view I had with 3dfx. Hopefully some
future version of FSAA will be clean/clear enough to justify the speed
penalty it creates.
(btw...it smooths out all the jaggies)

I would prefer edge-anti alising instead of FSAA.
Thats where the jaggies is, and FSAA only makes the game look blurry like a
N64 title :/

FSAA on nvidia's cards make the game look blurry. This is NOT the case with
the 3dfx method.

As nVidia has bought 3dfx, surely they will get the technology for
FSAA right on their next cards. Right?????

Don't bet on it.
