Anti-aliasing on or off when playing GP4?

I don't even know how to switch it on or off! Don't think you can with my gfx card though

You can turn it on or off by your display properties/advanced menu but if your card doens't support it, you can't user it.

AA makes all the jaggies disappear. When you look at the edges of a shape, you can see it's jagged, AA makes thos edges smoother looking.

OFF course :D

I used to run GP4 in 32-bit colour mode, and found it slowed down heaps when going past the pits and other heavy graphic areas of the track.

Wasn't till I changed it back to 16-bit colour, that the PO is around 80% to 90% most of the time, and that's with all details on.

Can't even imagine what it'd look like with Quincunx anti-aliasing on.

By the way, what does everyone else think of the little additions to GP4 which weren't in GP3, such as the video walls, and the glowing disc brakes?
I think it's those little touches that makes it a better game than F1 2002 (or any other current F1 game).



The only thing that helps me maintain my slender grip on reality is the friendship I share with my collection of singing potatoes.

"doesn't anti-analising thingy make the edges smooth, and not blocky?"

pretty much

it smooths off and blends jagged edges

I didnt see any real difference when i tured it on, except the fps going down

U dont need it, and i would rather have a playable game

16-bit desktop dont do anything i think

Anyway, 16bit and 32bit colour look exactly the same on the desktop, and on my 350mhz, i put it on 16bit cos it runs much faster

Quincunx works fine for me @1280x1024.
4x AA on the other hand, really turnes the game into a slideshow. This is a GF4 Ti4400 128 MB Ram.

mates, on my nvidia control panel(win xp) i have turned on the option 'aplication controled', wich means each game will define the AA.
do you know how gp4 settles this, is it 2x, 4x or what?
thanks.

I made some tests with my Ti4400 and the last 40.41 Nvidia drivers.
What actually emerged is that AA at 2x and Quicunx is not such a big hit fo perfomances. You begin to loss from 4x onward.
But don't check "texture sharpening" box because FPS drop by 4 on my system.
If you have a machine fast enough Quicunx could be a good deal, since the game looks really neat with a nice TVlike look.

i jsut foudn out that even tho i have teh option to turn AA on or off.. its not meant to be supported by the gf2, so tis not doin a thing lol
