You may also want to experiment with different screen resolutions, refresh
rates, and/or color depths until you arrive at a setting or combination of settings
for antialiasing to work.

results in improved image quality at the cost of performance.
•
8x

.
Direct3D specifies that a display adapter capable of Direct3D hardware
acceleration should be able to implement either vertex fog or table fog.
Note:
Some games do not correctly query the Direct3D hardware capabilities
and expect table fog support. Enabling this option ensures that such
games run properly with your NVIDIA graphics processor.
