Support NeoGAF

Every time I read these kinds of threads I have the strong suspicion that few of the people talking about anisotropic filtering actually know what it is.

It's not exactly a hard concept to understand. And it makes a very obvious difference.

I know most modern GPUs have roughly 20 times the texture units as the PS3/360 so hopefully next gen these become more common.

Xenos is more than good enough to accomplish AF. It may have lower TMU count than modern GPU's, but they are better arranged. Probably, cause of this, they reallocate some resources from them to make some other general shading tasks instead of just free aniso.

I really wish the next consoles would force some AA or if not than at least 16xAF on all games.

I can see how the AA might be problematic if it interfered with custom built AA solutions, but I have not turned off 16xAF in over a decade... and never had a performance hit. No reason to have shitty filtering in console games.

Bilinear filtering might as well be no filtering at all. It looks laughable compared to anisotropic filtering.

Now that's just silly.

There is an absolutely massive difference between bilinear filtered and point sampled textures.

Just remembered this game. So realistic
