36 CrossFire ™ Rendering Modes The first three are perfor mance-oriented modes, while Super Anti-aliasing is a quality-oriented mode. Each mode uses a different method for dividing the workload required to render a 3D image across multiple GPUs. Only one mode can be in operation at any given time . The ATI Catalyst ™ display driv er will automa[...]

CrossFire ™ Rendering Mo de s 37 SuperTiling has the advantage o f being able to work with practically any 3D application. However, there are a small number of applications where the SuperTiling workload distribution does n ot provide optimal performance. For these special cas es, Scissor Mode can be used. Scissor Mode In this mode, each frame is[...]

38 CrossFire ™ Rendering Modes Although Scissor Mode is generally a less efficient means of splitting the workload than using SuperTiling , th ere are a few cases where it can be more efficient. It is supported by CrossFire ™ in order to maximize compatibility an d performan ce. Alternate Frame Rendering (AFR) Mode In this mode, all even frames[...]

Super Anti-aliasing Mode 39 The main limitation of this mode is that it cannot be used in appl ications where the appearance of the current frame is dependent upon data generated in previous frames, since AFR generates successive frames simultaneously on d ifferent GPUs. In these cases, th e SuperTili ng or Scissor Mode is used instead. Super Anti-[...]

40 Super Anti-aliasing Mode Some types of textures, especially those with transpar ent portions, can exhibit aliasing that is not removed by MSA A techniques. Another form of anti-aliasing, known as Super-sample Anti-aliasing (SSAA), can be useful in these cases, because it affects ever y pixel in an im age. Although it normally operates more slowl[...]

Super Anti-aliasing Mode 41 pattern that does a better job of anti-aliasing near-h orizontal and near- vertical edges, resulting in better overall image quali ty. Two of the new Super Anti-a liasing modes use a combination of MSAA and SSAA to achieve the ultimate in im age quality. They work by not o nly using different multi-sample locations on ea[...]
