Antialiasing Question.

Post by Nigel H-J »

Since installing the graphic card, I have been runnning antialiasing from within FS9 via the settings page and have it switched off on the graphic card.

Could some kind soul please advise which is the best way to use antialiasing, i.e. ticking the antialaising box in FS or leaving it blank and running it directly from the graphic card itself.

Should it be the latter then what settings do I use and what is the difference between them?

Settings available:

2x
2xQ
4x
8x

Many thanks in advance.

Nigel.

Nigel,

I advise with that card to leave the Anti-Aliasing to FS9...just tick the box...But you must have it set to "OFF" and then "Application Controlled" in your card software. The other settings you can set in your card software...I have Anistropic filtering set to "16x" and Image settings at "High quality"...You will find these settings very satisfactory :smile:
