Nvidia cards use a particularly crude approximation of mipmap level selection. anisotropic filtering aims to alleviate one of the main issues with mipmapping - we sample higher resolution textures when the pixel’s footprint is aniscotropic (stretched differently on each axis) this is what mitigates the blurring caused by mippaping, so i attempted to reverse engineer it. close enough
