Anti-aliasing

[mcantu]

you shouldn't have to update any drivers to get 4X AA with your rig...

Its your card thats holding things back . The 7500 isn't that great . You can tell its bad when it has the option to syphon off some of your ram to be used for vram.

For Geforce cards, it doesn't really matter too much about the first number, its the 3 numbers at the end that count for gaming. For gaming, anything less that a 600 is going to cause problems, but really you should be getting an 800 if you are into regular gaming. Its all about the pipes.

I am running a Win XP P4 3.06ghz, 1GB, with a radeon x1650 256mb and AA at any setting gives me a hit of maybe 5fps at most. With your rig providing the system is well maintained I wouldn't anticipate much slowdown, if it does make a major hit then as others have mentioned yeah perhaps time for a driver update or windows reinstall or something.
Either way RTW is hardly quake or something anyway so yes anti-aliasing wont make a huge difference as far as your gameplay experience will go.
Anyway to summarise....
If you can run with it on without it being to the detriment of your game you may as well, however if you can't you're not missing very much

EDIT just saw the posts by Foot and russia, a day of defeat clanmate of mine has that card, shared vram is nasty and truly holds the chipset back. Perhaps just leave AA off it wont help your system ram (also important with all the crunching EB does :p)

How do you adjust it? Mine is greyed out, I click on it and nothing happens.

Some lower end graphics cards do not support anti-aliasing.

thanks all. im getting the latest Geforce as soon as im back in England.

dumb question:
Do you have V-Sync enabled?
V-Sync + AA = gay on 7xxx geforce cards.

There is a text file in your data folder called descr_auto_optimise_options.txt. Go there and enable anti aliasing for all types of graphics cards. The stupid game thinks my computer cant handle any anti aliasing but as a matter of fact I can turn it on high for small and medium battles and keep it on medium for large ones.

The existance of this auto optimise file is one of the most idiotic things I have ever seen.

Thank you

Find the column antialias it's the 18th column, I think and replace everything in there with high from top to bottom.
