This is good news I think for people with less-than high spec machines.
What kind of lap top spec's do you have Skubber ... ?

ok these are all my setting,can someone tell me where do the settings have to be in all these settings.
i will apreciated. thanks
On NVIDIA cards, most of the advanced settings are to solve particular problems, the settings to play with are:

anisotropic filtering, try 2x or 4x. more than that will impact FPS with no appreciable quality difference;

AA, try 2xQ or 4x,

vsync - force on, prevents screen tearing;

triple buffering - on, if vsync is on will improve FPS, however if it causes stutters, choose off.

I have a "gaming" rig, too, but I have to share it with the wife and kids. So now I can play SH4 whenever I want.

Does FSAA work with Post-Processing effects on?

If anyone thought FSAA wasn't worth it given the state of other bugs, I think these screens show why. Man that looks good, and it's not even moving.

I'm glad I've fixed my system and I'm now running overclocked at around 3 GHz (Core2 E6600) with a GF8800GTS so it ought to scream.
