when are we going to get texture filtering on GPU

[super gnu]

im beginning to realise that a lot of the visual differences between cpu and gpu are down to a lack of texture filtering. CPU defaults to texture filtering of 1. gpu just doesnt filter at all as far as i can tell. swap a cpu scene to gpu and its often the filtering that makes everything look different. especailly bump mapping.

i understand that a lot of people reduce or even turn off filtering on cpu, but, particularly for animation, eliminating completely is undesirable.


i need to match a source render which has default filtered textures. it renders 5x faster on gpu, but looks off because the textures are too sharp now.

nobody? be good to know if this is coming.. seems a fairly important basic feature to have.
