What is anisotropic filtering supposed to do anyway? I have a p42.66 512 dual channel ddr built by ati radeon 9600 non pro 128 meg. I enabled it at 16x then went into desert combat and checked my framerate, there was literally no performance hit at all. But I also didnt notice that it looked any different. Well the 2d text was changed, not any better looking just a bit different. So is AF supposed to make stuff look better, or is it supposed to provide faster performance?
