Question

Hi all,

I recently purchased an ATI Radeon 64mb card. Along with that I downloaded a ATI Radeon tweaker utility that lets me change a bunch of settings. One of them is to enable Full Scene Anti Aliasing (FSAA) in open gl and d3d games. I run q3 and half life in open gl, would it make sense to enable it? I currently have it enabled and really see no performance hit, but the image quality looks a tad better. I run a fairly fast SMP system so one of my cpu's is usually dedicated to gaming, so I don't think it wouldn't really a problem leaving it enabled? What do you guys think? TIA.

If it doesn't kill your frame rate roll with it Flop. I'd love to be able to play with it on with my Voodoo5, but the framerate hit is too much.

What a difference it makes in older games, though. Try it in Quake 2, or maybe Starcraft/Warcraft. The difference is more obvious in those older games with lots of jaggies.
