Yeah. I don't think I'll publish any demo using it until DX11 is officially released. Anything build with current SDK will probably won't work with the final runtime.

btw, are you far from publishing a demo using it?

I like that AMD added SV_Coverage output to GLSL as well (gl_Coverage).

That would probably work. I assume it doesn't have to be put across a corner like that, because that wouldn't work for me, but if I can put it on a desk edge it might work.

Alpha-to-coverage already looks kinda noisy at a distance, so it doesn't change much in that respect. It is slightly noisier right now, but that could probably be fixed by adjusting the pseudo-random function. Alternatively one could tighten it like I did in my alpha-to-coverage demo:

At least for the minification case that would probably be a good idea.

Performance-wise it's of course a bit worse. In this test case I'm only outputting a textured quad, and alpha-to-coverage is 1.09ms vs 1.99ms for this technique. The alpha-to-coverage case is a single instruction shader whereas this technique requires 10. It should be mentioned that it's kind of a worst case shader as well with all of those 10 instruction slots only utilizing a single scalar, so the ALUs are used to 1/5 the theorethical max on my 3870x2. In a full-blown shader it would probably not add much to the total instruction count.
