Can you tell the difference?

Hi,

Can you really notice a difference (in image quality) between 8x and 16xAF and 'quality' and 'high quality' textures?

Have a read of the stuff at Tweakguide - if your game is there they will have examples for you to peruse. Gives side by side shots and great explanations - should answer all your questions - personally I can't (8x vs 16x) , but that's me! - Medium to high it depends on the game.

I admit that I cant tell either. I just use 16xAF because it doesnt affect the fps in most games.

I can just about notice a difference, but for me its really about finding the best performance/image quality ratio.

I tend to notice the differences between all the detail settings, but dont notice much between the different AF's

Yeah i can see a difference, textures seem to go blury a lot closer to you at 8x than they do at 16x, at 16x they stay sharp further into the distance.

Seems to depend on your screen resolution too.

A game like Track Mania that is fast moving I cant tell the difference between 4xAA and 16xAA.

Anyone know what the different texture quality levels in Nvidia panel do?

ive got a 22" monitor and a 37" tv in my lounge side by side(the tv is further back)when i play assassins creed at 1920 x 1080 on my tv the game automatically disables aa,you cant notice anything on my tv but on my monitor you can see the jagged lines.i dont know if this is because the tv is further away or not but at 1920 x 1080 aa is really not needed but on my monitor at 1680 x 1050 it is
