Not likely. In fact its the best AA technique around and is not shader based. In 4x TXAA , you do lose a bit sharpness but all jagged edges completely blends with the surroundings.
That too with much less drop in performance. Going for FXAA + 4XTXAA gives ultimate image quality and almost zero AA. It looks better (also bit sharper) even than 8XMSAA + FXAA .

I think for this reason, nvidia chose shorter bus because the way i see it, even a 128 bit bus gpu user can enable 2xTXAA and get better AA than 4x MSAA without significant FPS drop like the latter.

Its a very good AA algorithm implemented by nvidia. I think crysis 3 is also going to support this and so will a lot of AAA titles. Its not like physx and everything should not be unrestricted. Its of much relevance from an AA perspective.

Overall, TXAA is very very good and the best form of AA out there.

Read the following mate:

The least disappointing graphics options in this game all revolve around antialiasing, and even this setting failed to push our video cards. What we will forever remember CoD:BO2 for is that is the first Triple A title to use TXAA technology. TXAA is a partially shader based antialiasing setting that also uses hardware acceleration like mutlisampling. Users will be able to set this option to 2X and 4X. With 2X TXAA selected users will see an image similar to 4X MSAA with FXAA also enabled, at the performance cost of about 2X MSAA. With 4X TXAA selected you will see an image similar to 8X MSAA with FXAA also enabled, at the performance cost of around 4X MSAA. Right now TXAA is looking like the future of antialiasing. We want more of this!

P.S - TXAA can't be implemented on non-nvidia cards through any software patch because its a hardware feature and uses built in special resources to enable multisampling unlike MSAA or FXAA which uses gpu execution units. Its like nvidia cards have hardware dedicated for TXAA.

I want more DirectCompute rather than this. :p

First time the recommended one (2nd one from top), next time one level higher (3 rd one). I never can remember the names. The default one, well, a 5 year old will find easy, next one we will. So play it at hardest, what was the name, Veteran perhaps?

Back to school!!
Shortest COD game so far I think, story is ok, not bad, though I hate the Strike Force missions, half baked RTS, most of time I played by going to an unit directly, a single unit(infantry) can take out an entire battalion, but when in tactical mode they drop like flies, ai for that is cr@p, sometimes units wonder off, sometimes they don't engage enemies as they go past them, but I did liked the loadout selection option, plus customizing, too bad they won't let me do it in the fly, like removing a silencer, or adding one, like Crysis. Also the weapon variations are nice, lots of ultra modern weapons, the flying sequence(in suits) were extremely good, but didn't like the F38 flying missions. Got two endings, the best one and the worst one and this might mean future black ops will read saves(which will be hard to pull off, as no game ever pulled it off successfully, like Mass Effect in which earlier game decisions meant nothing big, nothing that affected the key outcomes), liked the sound track, specially intro part.

7.5/10 for the SP only.

Hows the multiplayer experience ? Im planning to buy this game only for the online multiplay, been playing BF3 for a while and wanna try something different... Havent really played online multiplay with COD since the first modern warfare.

Any reviews? lag time..trouble finding matches?

Thanks

Find out if people are still playing MW1 anywhere, private communities may be, that's the only cod game worth the money.

Finally Completed this game...
-------------------------------
What a fantastic game...
The Story is good (at least better than any other COD titles before).
Graphics is mind blowing...everything textures,sky,smoke,lighting,flares,halogen lights,character detailing,water etc
The Level design is awesome...I really liked the Afghanistan level with those Horses :)wub: never seen such beautifully designed in any other game..seriously u have to look at them their eyes,the skin shining also while riding looks real to me)
The Facial Expression is much much better & improved than previous titles...
Some new weapons Animal traps and Customize Weapon Loading.
and most interesting is the ending with a Rock Concert from all of the team (Harper,Menendez etc)
Now I would definitely play COD:BO3 if its there in future ;)
My Score: 9.5/10

Q:I guess there are alternate endings this time? (if u kill or capture Menendez)
