nv3 s bilinear filtering sharper of 3dfx voodoo graphics. but, while didn t blur textures as voodoo, did instead add light noise textures, because of lower-fidelity filtering algorithm. there problems noticeable seams between polygons.


while initial drivers did present these image-quality problems, later drivers offered image quality arguably matching of voodoo graphics. in addition, because riva 128 can render @ resolutions higher 640×480, card can offer quality superior of voodoo graphics, shown in above quake ii screenshot. final drivers released riva 128 support per-pixel mipmapping, full-scene |anti-aliasing (supersampling), , number of options fine-tune features in order optimize quality , performance.
