im playing episode 1 and see that my video setting is predetermined by my specs and puts and a * near what is determined. now i have i5 4690k @ 45 and a decent gtx 970 which i OC sometimes but my question is for msaa and fxaa (i think it recommends 0 mxaa and trilinear fx...now i know the game is older . so for these presets since its an older game can my comp handle upping stuff?
in afterburner do i just keep and eye on my gpu usage percentage to see what it can handle? how do i tell if i should a} it can handle more settings and b} should i overclock or not. so if my gpu % is constantly at 99 then i guess its not good right? but if it just spikes there sometimes is that ok. how do i get a feel for what my system can handle, is the older games mxaa and fxaa different than recent ones or does it tax it just the same?
