Interesting read. I've recently acquired a PowerVR card; once I test to see if it works I'll take some images for comparison -- give me a few days/week or so.

So there is antialiasing in this game? Game specific Edge AA I presume? Wonder why not more Glide games used this really, this one here even runs on a P90...

I personally never seen an anti-aliased edge in a Glide game ever.... at least as far as I can recall on a Voodoo2 (obviously not v4/v5). The only edge smoothing i've noticed are artifacts of the 4x1 filter.

It does have an edge specific anti-aliasing feature. Probably game specific. Tomb Raider is mentioned here:

What's with the weird lines? Sync issues?

The topic you linked is hilarious I think... guys bragging about their mighty PPros and of course discussing the looks of Lara Croft 🤣

You mean the greenlines on the right? Those are sync issues with the Avermedia software. I could have cropped it away, but I didn't bother.

If you mean the subtle lines in the picture those are from VGA cable interference

In 1996 the PPro was a powerful CPU and the idea of a female as the lead character in a video game was still new.
