Anti Aliasing/Anti Filtering Question

[bball89]

I finally got my new rig fixed and built started playing some games with my friends.

My friend says that if I play with anti aliasing my video card will overheat and die. Or over time.

Is that true?

I don't get it, I don't believe this just by turning your graphics on 8 aa 16 a/f that shortens the video card life?

I always use to think overclocking cpu/gpu would shorten hardware life not simply changing aa/af on...

No, turning on aa/af will not harm your graphics card. Your friend has no idea what he's talking about.

haha your friend needs to be kicked in the sack, he just wants to able to say his gpu gives a better picture than yours. aa/af is perfectly fine if you need it. with that said you do loose a little performance as you increase the aa though.
