•
Off
disables
antialiasing
in
3D
applications.
Select
this
option
if
you
require
maximum
performance
in
your
applications.
•
2x
enables
antialiasing
using
the
2x
mode.
This
mode
offers
improved
image
quality
and
high
performance
in
3D
applications.
•
4x
enables
antialiasing
using
the
4x
mode.
This
mode
offers
better
image
quality
but
can
slightly
reduce
performance
in
3D
applications.
•
6xS
affects
only
Direct3D
applications
and
enables
antialiasing
using
the
6xS
mode.
This
mode
offers
better
image
quality
than
the
4xS
mode.
•
8x
enables
antialiasing
using
the
8x
mode.
This
mode
offers
better
image
quality
than
the
6xS
mode
for
Direct3D
applications
and
better
image
quality
that
the

mode
for
OpenGL
applications.
•

filtering
is
a
technique
used
to
improve
the
quality
of
textures
applied
to
the
surfaces
of
3D
objects
when
drawn
at
a
sharp
angle.
Use
the
Anisotropic
filtering
slider
to
set
the
degree
of
anisotropic
filtering
for
improved
image
quality.
Enabling
this
option
improves
image
quality
at
the
expense
of
some
performance.
