Now you're just confusing the matter. 3dfx's yet to be announced next product is the only one that we know of to do sub pixel antialiasing. But we still don't know how that affects their fill rate. I seem to recall them saying something to the effect that AA wouldn't affect performance at all, but maybe all they said was that you'd still be able to get 60fps with it turned on. If the latter is true, does that mean that with it off we'd get 240fps? :)
