Question about in-game settings v Coolbits/Control Panel settings

[pibrahim]

I've never really sussed this out...

If one of my games lists various AF modes, etc., and I choose 2x in-game, but in Coolbits I have it set at 4x, will the Coolbits setting take 'priority'? Are any in-game settings ignored then?

Similarly, if the game lists AF modes up to 8x (or whatever), but I choose 16x in Coolbits - is there a problem?

Is the optimum way of doing things to set AA/AF in Coolbits and then just set the resolution/soft shadows/whatever in the in-game settings?

well the settings you make for game profiles in the control panel will supercede those within the actual game.
