GOT A 9700PRO, now what?

[dod_gamer]

OK, today I got an ATI AIW 9700pro, as a trade, if u look in the forums. Anyways, I have always ran nvidia, and know nothing about AA or AF. I play mostly bf1942, dod, cs, and will be playing hl2, and new games to come. My main question is what should I run AA and AF at? If you need my specs, here they are below:

Lian-Li Warrior Case
420wt Stealth PSU
Epox 8rda+
COMPLETELY FORGOT THIS!!! - Barton 3200+ running at 12.5 x 180
ATI AIW Radeon 9700pro 128mb
3x XMS PC2700 - CMX512-2700C2(says running dual channel according to cpuz) for a total of 1.5gb running at 180(360)
160GB WD 7200 rpm HD
SB AUDIGY
and then the rest of the other stuff that doesnt matter for this


lmk what u guys think, any help will do, thanks!

well it really depends on the game but, with that card, you could run either 1280x1024 with no AA or AF. Or, you could go 800x600 with full blast AA and AF. Or you could go somewhere in between those two options.

Try a few settings and see what has the best quality/preformance ratio.


good luck

1024x768 + 4xAA/8xAF is a nice sweet spot

Kind of hard to play games without a processor.

I play all my games at 2xAA/8xAF at 1280x1024. I mostly play Unreal Tournament 2004, Call of Duty and Desert Combat at those settings, so the games you listed should run very smoothly at those settings.
