R300 And 128-bit Precision

12

According to certain sources at The Inquirer, ATI's upcoming R300 will have 128-bit color precision. 128-bit precision is part of the DirectX9 specification, which means the NV30 will also support it. Thanks Games.

      the textures would still be 32-bit at most. This is to prevent color banding in scenes with only one hue in them (e.g.: the helicopter level in SOF2).
