FS9 Settings vs Video Card Settings

[paulfar]

I'm a little confused between the appropriate settings for the best available performance of FS9 relating to my video card and FS9 options.

My Nvidia GE Force 6600 with 256 mg ram has the following settings available:

Anti-aliasing:

OFF
2X
2XQ
4X
8X5

Anisotropic Filtering

OFF
2X
4X
8X
16X

In the Options>Settings>Display>Hardware section of FS9 there is a box to either enable Anti-aliasing or disable it.

Need some advice as to which settings would be appropriate from either the video card or FS9 or a combination of both.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Paul,
You'll probably get as many different awnsers as people that reply,but here is what works best for me and my graphics and framerates are excellent which was'nt always the case.
On the card antialiasing 4,Anisotropic 8.
Ingame off.
Hope this works for you.

Go for 2X AA
16X for AF
AA disabled in FS9

That sounds about right for your card.

You can use higher AA on your card at reduced FPS if you wish.

Definately you must disable AA in FS9.

Staffy got in there just before me but anywhere between what I have said and what Staffy says should be OK. My settings will give you better FPS, Staffy's will give you slghtly better visual quality.
