Anisotropic Filtering Performance

Although this very well could change with updated drivers, for now here's how the image quality stacks up when anisotropic filtering is taken into account:

  • ATI's Performance mode is significantly better than NVIDIA's Performance mode
  • ATI's Quality mode is slightly better than NVIDIA's Quality mode

The GeForce FX 5600 Ultra manages to achieve a 6% performance lead here, but once you take into account that the Radeon 9600 Pro offers much higher image quality that 6% advantage becomes even more insignificant.

The advantage shifts towards the Radeon 9600 Pro here, but looking at the Radeon 9500 Pro's performance puts all the newcomers to shame.
