This might be a stupid question but,

friedmonky · Oct 19, 2003, 06:18 PM

is it better to set the AA and AF settings in the display control panel, the particular game being played, or both? I have a 9700 Pro. I have my AA and AF settings set in the ATI control panel. Take Max Payne 2, for example. Should I set them in the game and set the control panel to "application preference"? Or should I Leave my control panel as is and not use the settings in the game? Or should I use both? Not sure it even matters, I don't know. Just curious as to what you guys do and what you would recommend.
Thanks,
friedmonky

Thanks for the replies. So, you shut off AA and AF in the game?
Thanks,

just do a little of trial tests to see if there are differences then you will know.
