NWN and nvidia control panel

[Legacy_Dark_Ansem]

                how much sense does it make to use the nvidia control panel for improving NWN visual quality? would things like CSAA and/or AF at 16x work?

               AA (Antialiasing)  and  the Texture Quality setting does make remarkable improvement on visual quality.
Thinks like vsync, and  the others I just let the 'application decide' for those.

Note - I seem to get a crash in nvidia
opengl lost connection to the display driver
Have rolled back several drivers and decided to rest on the most recent one - even though it still gets the crash every now and again.

The setting that seems to minimize it is the performance setting that is by default set to 'adaptive'
Setting it to 'prefer maximum performance' seems to reduce the frequency.

               what about AF option? would that work^
setting AA to a maxium would cause a performance hit?

               Depends on your card.

GTX580 With 3GB VRam can handle max.


Most cards these days can handle Skyrim on Moderate to High settings.
If they can handle skyrim, then anti-aliasing in nwn will not be a problem.

Once I had a screenshot showing the change in graphics quality when changing the nvidia Quality Graphics setting.

It is sooo noticable.
It can change blurry blob like textures into crisp graphics that you can read handwriting in.

               mine is a gtx 580M with 2gb vram.
and yes, I managed to handle skyrim and complete the main quest on ultra. unknown fps values, but it looked somewhat smooth.,

but honestly, I can't see that much difference even with 32x CSAA, neither performance nor quality. I think that setting texture filtering to high quality, however, had the effect you said.
