One question I have about this system or any NT based OpenGL systems, is
whether any of them provide for hardware based polygon anti-aliasing, along the
lines of what you get in a Reality Engine. For the type of applications that I
work with, this has been the one performance feature that has kept my work on
Onyx machines. The OpenGl accelarators that I am working with have terrific
polygon rates and good texture map capabilities, but the final image looks
terrible without the hardware anti-aliasing.

Anyone have any information on anything along these lines?

Thanks,

Sheldon Brown
