Antialiasing
is
a
technique
used
to
minimize
the
“stairstep”
effect
sometimes
seen
along
the
edges
of
3D
objects.
Your
selection
can
range
from
turning
antialiasing
completely
off
to
selecting
the
maximum
amount
possible
for
a
particular
application.
Use
this
slider
to
set
the
degree
of
antialiasing
to
be
used
in
Direct3D
and
OpenGL
applications.
Tips
on
setting
antialiasing
modes
—
Some
antialiasing
settings
require
a
large
amount
of
video
memory.
If
the
mode
you
requested
requires
more
video
memory
than
available
and
you
see
unexpected
results,
try
selecting
the
next
lower
mode,
and
so
on,
until
you
achieve
the
desired
result.
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.
