3D Antialiasing Settings
Antialiasing is a technique used to
minimize the rough rendering of
artifacts, eliminating the "staircase" or
"jagged effect" seen along the edges of
3D objects. These controls select the
degree to which antialiasing is used in
Direct3D and OpenGL applications.
Allow applications to control the
antialiasing mode:
Some 3D applications that support
antialiasing automatically optimize
control of this mode; it is possible to
select the antialiasing mode manually.
Manually Select Anti-
aliasing Mode
Off (no antialiasing): Disables anti-
aliasing in 3D applications. Select Off
if you require maximum speed performance in your applications.
2x: Enables antialiasing using the 2x mode. Select this for improved image quality
and high performance in 3D applications.
Quincunx Antialiasing™: E nables a patented antialiasing technique available in
the GeForce3 GPU series. Quincunx Antialiasing™ offers the quality of the slower
4x AA mode at very near the performance of the faster 2x AA mode.
4x: Enables the antialiasing using the 4x mode. Select this for the highest possible
image quality at the expense of some performance drain in 3D applications.
