Driver Settings Please Help!!!
I have some questions about the nVidia Forceware drivers that I can't seem
to find the answer to. These questions relate to the performance and quality settings tab and are as follows 1) The Image Settings slider has High Performance - Performance - Quality. What exactly is meant by these settings? What does setting any of these actually do? 2) Anisotropic filtering - if this is set to say 2x it will override an application's default but if an application never had an anisotropic setting in the first place will the drivers attempt to filter anyway at 2x. 3) Same question as 2) but Antialiasing setting in driver 4) What relation does Bilinear Filtering and Trilinear Filtering have to Anisotropic filtering? In Quake 3 for example these are the two options and there is no Anisotropic filtering option but benchmarks often refer to running Quake 2 with Anisotropic filtering enabled. Am I missing something here as this seems to be unexplained. 5) Last question if I have an nVidia card that doesn't support say 8x Anisotropic filtering but set this on the driver what will happen? Thanks in advance for any help on this subject. Colin |

You want anisotropic unchecked.Makes things too slow.
bilineair and trilineair is about the curves of textures. You wont notice much difference in a game but they also don't make things slower. Highperformance gives faster games at the cost of reduced imagequality. I found between different detonator drivers that this slider does not work with all of them. And some versions give real ugly graphics while others don't,at the same framerate! So i use 41.09 for winxp and fps in nature(3dmark) goes from 63 to well over 100fps. With 44.03 it starts from 50fps upto 80fps,so these are slower! Ofcourse this differs from system to system,so experiment with the different drivers. You got GF4 card or less?Then do not go beyond the latest 4x.xx drivers. Can give probs on certain games like soldier of fortune2 mp. MSI Kt3 ultra amd xp2400 + Corsair pc2700 512mb ddr Asus gf4 ti4400 128mb core 300mhz. mem 600mhz det.41.09 realtek ethernet card 2x SB live 5.1 + 56k pci modem v92 trust liteon dvd player + hp 9300i cd writer floppy drive + ibm deskstar 60gig 7200rpm Aopen H600 with 2 casefans + superflower 420w psu WinXP Pro with all updates.
