Just curious to see what 3D settings you guys use for playing games.

Here's the settings ive been trying lately:

EVGA 8800 GTS 640/1800

AF - 16x
AA - 8xQ
Transparency - Supersampling
Gamma Correction - On
AA Mode - Enchance the Application
Texture Filtering - High Quality
Negative LOD Bias - Clamp
Triple Buffering - On
Vertical Sync - On


I use these settings in WoW, Lineage 2, FEAR, BF2, HL2, Quake 4.
I ussually lower the AA to 8x and turn off Supersampling when playing RB6 Vegas and Company of Heroes.

Interested to hear what you guys use.

EDIT: Also, is it better to max out the in-game video options and use lower AA/AF options? Or, use Medium to High in-game settings with 16xAA/16xAF/Supersampling.
 
EVGA 7900 GT KO 700/1600

AF - Application controlled (I try to use 16x whenever I can when the game runs above 60 FPS)
AA - Application controlled (I use 4x in most games)
Transparency - Supersampling
Gamma Correction - On
Texture Filtering - Quality
Negative LOD Bias - Clamp
Triple Buffering - Off
Vertical Sync - Off

4x AF, 2x AA, no HDR in Oblivion. 2x AA, 16x AF in Lord of the Rings Online. 2x AA, "high fidelity" in Supreme Commander.
 
7900GT 520/1500

Depends on the game, but I always shoot for at least 4xAA/8xAF, soft shadows off if the game has the option, HDR on or off depending on the engine (in Source I leave it on), 1280x960. Any game that won't run respectably at anything less isn't worth playing, afaic.

Getting the driver-level settings to work has always been hit or miss for me (mostly miss), so I set everything in-game.
