Your fill rate will rise, thou now where near as much as that going from
16 to 8 spp. Won't do anything for polygon throughput thou. If you're
currently fill-limited and have a high depth complexity then your
thoughput could rise.
I actually benchmarked pixel fill rates as it related to multi-sampling a
while back, if you turn it off completely you get (from memory) around
370 million pixels a second! I think the best I ever achieved while
multisampling was around 285 or so million pixels a second...
I can dig up the figures if you're *really* interested.
None of this of course matters much if your not fill limited.
Anyway.. Merry Xmas & Happy New Year everybody...
Ahhh what the hell I'll be silly...
