Mistake?

I wasn't aware 1080p TVs could run in 4:3 resolutions, let alone ones with more vertical space than they can display.

Well it's windowed mode it seems and this would work. But I guess a few lines might be missing(like 120) ;o

Nah, I use the VGA port, instead of the HDMI, and the standard max resolution is 1600*1200. I've tried the HDMI and I don't like the way it looks, for some reason it just doesn't look right, might be the HDTV. Anyway, that and I don't like being forced into 1920*1080 with the HDMI being the max. Unable to force higher.

A few months ago, I used to use 1920*1200{forced}, but I built a new PC desk and the HDTV sits back further than it used to so I dropped my resolution to 1600*1200 so I could read it...lol

Apparently 4:3 is an option on this HDTV, and it works great...never had any issues with it, even in full screen. And oddly enough, I can also run 16:9 & 16:10 using 1600*1200 just fine too.

I lied. I'm not playing on a i5. I'm a 386. But hey, I have the math co-processor, so I have a leg up on all you other bozos! :P Obviously I meant GB. Silly me, that's like the fifth time I've typed 4mb instead of 4gb on these forums ><

What type of frame rates do you get Pretty?

oh a few things have changed

I play at 1920x1080 with a Radeon HD 6850 and cpu overclocked from 3.4 to 3.6

fps is usually always really smooth, though I dont know the exact amount.

What does the anti-aliasing actually do?

What does the anti-aliasing actually do?

Here is an example pic of my Miqo'te, with no AA, and then with 16xQ MSAA turned on. See how all the edges with no AA are extremely jagged, and with max settings, its all but gone w/ smooth and rounded edges...

Inflates the user's ego! That's what all the settings do.

Surprised people don't try the recommended settings of 1280x720 w/ 4xAA. I'm able to turn everything up to high and get a frame rate around 20FPS (that's with AO enabled). It's perfectly playable at this frame rate.

Here's a brief capture of the game running...

um...it smooths out the pixels so you dont see things like jaggedy edges
