Optimize Your SLI Rig

Posted by: Newsfactory on: 12/02/2005 07:01 PM [ Print | 4 comment(s) ] · 2292 views

You just spent hundreds of dollars to build your own SLI computer for some serious gaming. But, you are having problems trying to configure your system to work at its full capability. Playing around with your nVidia 3D Graphic Settings, you come across two options called Antialiasing (AA) and Anisotropic filtering (AF), yet you're not sure what these settings are used for and how they affect you.



Through the following experiment I hope to make the performance of these two settings clear so you can utilize AA and AF settings to optimize your SLI rig and render incredible graphics with each breath-taking frame per second. I will also propose which combinations of AA and AF I would recommend to optimize your SLI rig.

Just to be clear... you bought an SLI rig and don't know that AA and AF are? Nice.

Uhhhhh...that wasn't much of an "optimizing" guide. It was more like, here's the difference with each setting and thats it.

I just built a SLI rig too...

- AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800
- 2GB RAM
- (2) Geforce 7800GT 256MB
- Audigy2 ZS

No you idiot...I know was AA and AF are...I was just expecting something more along the lines of various overclocking settings being tested, tweaks to the drivers and tests with different tweaking programs.

Sigh... based on the articles description, my comment was poking fun at someone who would write an article to explain something like AA and AF to someone who paid a pretty steep price to get the SLI setup. If you don't even know what AA and AF are, WTF are you doing buying an SLI rig? And I agree... if the article actually was what you were expecting, then that would have been pretty nice... oh... now I see why you were writing the Idiot comment. I posted my comment before you, not in response to you. So I wasn't calling you a retard or anything like that...
