The effect was instantly apparent in the games I tested. Not only did the on-screen images seem razor sharp, but the annoying ripple effect often created when a game's graphics engine attempts to redraw a scene from a new perspective disappeared as well. Because the technology works on any game programmed using Glide, Open GL or D3D, most old games will get a welcome face lift.
Pretty graphics come at a price, however.
The frame rate, however, was always acceptable, especially in the midrange setting.
