D3D AF Tester 1.2b Question

Dear Leonidas from 3DCenter,
I'm new on your site and I have founded it very professional, in particular I like your graphic cards' review.
I have contacted you because I have used the D3D AF Tester 1.2b on different cards (GeForceFX 5600 and Radeon 9800Pro) and I have found that when I select "Texel Analyze" command I obtain different results: for example at Aniso4X, I have 23 for GeForceFX and 26 for Radeon .
So I have the following questions:
What that number means?
It's better that it is higher?
Thanks for your answering.
Best regards,

Nicola C.

Hi,

the number stands for the maximum texelcount that is used for one pixel. Because more texel give you in most case a better result a higher number is better. But the number tells you not the full truth. You have to lock at the Red-Green Image too. A full red pixel (normally in the center of the image) means that there is no texel used for this pixel. A full green pixel stands for the maximum number of used texels. The other colors are linear scaled. Hope this helps.
