Antialiasing/Anisotropic Filtering

[MaXXimus Maverick McClane]

What do these graphical technical terms mean? Thanks

"As you know, your screen is composed of pixels. Each individual pixel possesses a rectangular shape, which, when it comes to rounded shapes, leads to jagged edges – aliasing.
As the name implies, anti-aliasing strives to reduce aliasing as much as possible by a variety of techniques. These differ both in the way that they deal with the “jaggies” and in how much they affect the in-game performance."

"Anisotropic filtering exists to provide superior image quality in virtually all cases at the slight expense of performance. By the computer science definition, anisotropy is the quality of possessing dissimilar coordinate values in a space, which applies to any texture not displayed as absolutely perpendicular to the camera"

You can disable anisotropic filtering and wont notice it.

Antialiasing is usefull at low resolutions.
