AntiAliasing can be applied using different sample patterns and sample points such as 2X or 4X. Moving this slider to the right increases sampling to provide the most realistic 3D image. Select the Application Preference checkbox for highquality images, with a negligible reduction in the application's performance. Deselect the Application Preference checkbox to customize the anti-aliasing. 30 ATI 3D Tab Custom Properties Dialog: OpenGL® or Direct 3D® SMOOTHVISIONTM HD Anisotropic Filtering slider Anisotropic filtering uses a texture filtering technique that blends multiple texture samples together. The number of samples taken when anisotropic filtering is performed can vary. By moving this slider to the right, as the number of samples taken increases, the quality of the final image increases significantly. 16X provides extremely detailed, crisp-looking images as a result of the largest number of texture samples possible. Selecting the Application Preference checkbox will result in high-quality images, with a negligible reduction in the application's performance. Select the Application Preference checkbox for highquality images, with a negligible reduction in the application's performance.
