anti-aliasing has always been a question for me. its supposed to smooth up edges and clean up things but in doing that doesn't it only really just smudge things together and remove detail as well ? better with or without ?

better with imo. it doesnt smudge things up. it adds better detail. without it things looks more 'boxy' with worse edging between objects and players. keep AA high and look elsewhere for gfx improvements in playability.

The more you can run keeping at 60fps or better the better.

you know the little rough edges that are sometimes in games? Well anti aliasing can detect these edges and smooth them out using a quick scan of them. If the higher the number the more edges it can scan at once.

 

It slows the game down though so if you want to improve your game performance always lower it or turn it off.

SOB u have a kick-ass pc so put it as high as possible :) it essentially makes the game look better and smoother (as u can see above) and ur performance wont be diminished. for cod4 i have AA at 4x (highest) running at 1440 by 960 with the other gfx options turned down. AA is high up on my list of things that make the game look good.

well i turned mine off earlier today and the graphics seem to be just fine but i run my resolution a 1680x1050 which attributes to the good vid quality without antialiasing.

well in 08 the gts250 was still a fairly good card but the 400 series had just come out and now they have the 600 series cards. well a 580 is on my wish list.

the 580 is suited to your set-up pci-i V:2 going to the 6 series V:3 will be a waste unless planning on next generation chipset MB
