Question about AF

[Worldhammer]

I am sure some folks will consider this a duh question, but there is something I am not 100% sure of. I have my AF level set to max, (16x) then left on application pref. However in many games there is no control for such in the vid options. For example in Doom3. It has AA controls but nothing specific for AF. Does the game use it as set in my CP, or is it simply not using it and I must "force" it on for it to work in Doom3 and take the subsequent frame hit for forcing? Obviously in older games in must be forced, but it seems odd that in newer games there would be no in game control.

Some games, like DOOM 3 automatically sets an AF level depending on the quality setting set. For example "High Quality" automatically sets 8X AF in DOOM 3 and 4X AF in Quake 4. In Quake 4 "Ultra Quality" sets 8X AF. All of this as long as you have your CP on Application Preference. If you manually set the AF level in your CP it will override what the game wants to set.
