Also a game is doing a ton of AI, particle effects, and god knows what
else. You can't compare that with what the guy is asking for..
basically adding more display modes.

The 3D viewports we have are so behind the times of what the hardware
allows these days. There should be no reason why xsi's display
shouldn't have AA, Motionblur, DOF, Fog, Soft Shadows, etc. It's all
waiting to be used and I hope in coming versions XSI starts making use
of GPU power more and more.

Simon

I haven't had any problems with Unreal Tournament 3 or Medal of Honor 4 - which are both amazing to look at on an up to date video card.  I mean, really, to the point I felt like I had to pinch myself.  An amazing job was done on these two titles.
