Re: 32 vs 16 bit

Hate to rehash, especially when I'm doing this from memory. But the problem with the 16 bit display really isn't the display of 16 vs 32 bits, but the internal transformations needed to get there. With each pass, precision is lost. As I understand it, Voodoo does internal representations at 22 bits, then dithers down to 16 bits. So it's not nearly as bad as it could be. And to my eyes, it's not bad at all.

How about a little feedback from those who have both a TNT and a SLI in their computers? I keep avoiding installing my TNT....
