Je tam (potvrzeno) i několik pozitivních zpráv:
Adaptive AA has presently been qualified by ATI on the Radeon X1000 series, however all boards from 9500 up to X850 have the capabilities for performance Adaptive AA and ATI state that they are going to go back and qualify the feature for use on all these products.
At present ATI do not clock down their desktop boards when just running in 2D desktop modes, meaning the core and memory speeds are constantly running at their high set rates. However, ATI have promised to introduce this in a future revision of Catalyst drivers which should result in lower idle power consumption, and lower temperatures, hence potentially lower fan speeds, in 2D modes as well.
