Test Setup & Performance
We tested at resolutions of 1024x768 (CRT monitors and older LCDs), 1280x1024 (17" and 19" flat panels) and 1600x1200 (20"+ displays). At a 1024x768 resolution, we tested without anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering and 4x AA and 8x AF settings. The other resolutions we did with these features enabled.
