nVidia AA

[Syxx_Killer]

I have been wondering this for a while now. I did some searches with no results. In my nVidia Control Panel I can choose up to 16x AA. However, some options have an XxQ counterpart (eg 16xQ). What does the XxQ setting do? Is it better than normal AA settings?

I've been wondering the same thing. :hmm:

maybe its like the Quality setting on ati cards.
Usually you can choose between quality and performance maybe the Q is the nvidia equivalent.

I don't understand why or how, but I believe 2xQ is better than 2x because it accomplishes the same thing more or less but uses less system resources.
