What Do These Settings Mean??

Postby Cherokee_6 » Tue Dec 09, 2003 12:13 pm

Hello,

I just got a new pc (full specs listed in signature below) and I am not sure what these settings should be at?!

My old system was a 2 gig, 256 Ram, 64 Meg Nvidia Vid card, and with this new system I dont really notice an improvement at all?!  

I have all my settings in FS2002 maxed out so I am assuming that these settings play a part in the quality of the graphics but I dont know what they mean....

Can anyone help?!

Thanks!

The only one I can read clearly is antialiasing (which smooths out the lines so the resolution appears better, less Pyramid of Geeza). Set this high to get great screenies ;)

The higher the settings the better it will look, but the slower it will perform.
