What's filtering mode?

[COWZYOV]

It's an option in advanced video options; what does it do?

You could just have used Google.

The button on the machine then starts streaming the hot water through the filter to strain the ground coffee thus making coffee. Add cream and sugar to enhance the taste.

Never tried non-iced coffee..

Which filtering mode will give me the best framerate?

Anisotropic filtering looks better than Trilinear, which looks better than bilinear.

Most modern video hardware can handle Anisotropic filter with neglible loss in performance, so generally you just need to go for that. Ditto for levels of ansiotropy; 16 samples (x16, the best quality) will generally not represent a significant performance cost over 8x; and below 8x the differences in perfromance are going to be smaller still.

What it does is handle how textures look at oblique angles: The tighter the angle (the further from perpendicular-to-a-wall you are) the more distorted an unfiltered image on that surface will look. Anisotropy maps the change in perspective and thus makes those textures look more realistic.

Ok thanks.

I managed to spell anisotropic wrong like three times in a row, and now it's preserved for posterity. Cringe.

You can just edit.
Then I'll just delete this comment.

And I did before posting; but I can't edit *your quotation of me committing those errors*. But I wasn't being particularly serious - I doubt anyone but me would care, even if they noticed.

Yo, as a side note, nice debate on taunting before.
Gg.
At least it was about something more important than our current catfights/presidential debates

so filtering mode give u framerate???

Nice necropost.

Says the one who necroposted a year later. (I know I'm doing it too lmfao)
