3d settings in games

[Harbz]

This maybe a daft question but, just wondering do you guys set your AA and AF settings in games, or use override settings in the nvidia/ati display properties? Or doesnt it matter?

I always set mine in the Nvidia control panel and leave the AA and AF in the game to default, but not sure if that is the correct way to do it.

Also, my 8800 GTS has 16xAA and 16xQ AA, whats the difference please?

Thanks.

I usually see what settings are available in the game, and if they are limited, I use the enhance setting. Setting in game is usually the best bet if you can.

Yeah if the games got AA/AF settings then i set the control panel settings to Application Controlled.

Is there a reason for that? Does it offer any benifit?
