Some Moire effect on parts of the robot simulation. Unexplained jerkiness of the cityscape, but the transparent "Final Reality" at the end was well rendered.

This is truly excellent performance. Image was sharp.

Comments



This is a nice try, and might be in the running if you want great 2d high resolution performance, and can get this card cheaply. It is easy to beat its 3D performance which seems to be a quirky implementation.
