I was wondering what these things do. They are under Settings-Display-Hardware.

Anti-aliasing
Filtering
Hardware-render lights
Global max texture size

Thanks.

I'm not a bad pilot, I just like experimenting a little.

I think it's a 256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon X600 SE HyperMemory.

Don't check AA, in settings, do that work in the video cards control panel. AA=4x, AF =8x.
Hardware-render lights = Max it out
Global max texture size = Max it out.
I have the two of them at 7, and high but with your card and CPU you can do better.

Where do I do that? I went to the control panel, clicked display-settings-Advanced, then there is all this stuff you can do with the video card, but I didn't see anti-analising.

Then the 3D tab and the custom button. It s all there.
