Depends what you call modern hardware. In fact, despite all the literature to
the contrary I've never actually seen 1 pixel error LOD in a game. The closest
I've seen is in Jax & Daxter, but they use vertex morphing (to excellent effect)
which everyone usually warns against. I wouldn't discount good old vertex
morphing and higher pixel errors.
