Can someone tell me what Bi-Linear Filtering,  Tri-Linear Filtering does,  and witch to use if any.  Thanks,  Dan  ::)

Bi linear filtering is something that eliminates blockiness when textured images get close to you in a 3-dimensional environment..

Got that from http://www.ohitech.com/computerguide/comp_car.asp#bilin.

Don't really know any more than that - and the fact that tri-linear cripples my frame rates but bi linear is ok.

Trilinear does exactly the same thing but in more detail than bilinear. That's why it has an impact on your fps.

Obviously, it's supposed to improve the image quality but try switching between the two. If you can spot the difference, you've better eyesight than I have.

Thanks, I will check out that site.  Also anyway to make the default size of the radio stack and GPS larger when opening?  I know that you can resize once open but I have mine open in a second computer automaticaly and would like to open larger.
Thanks ,  Dan
