Anti-aliasing is a way of making an image looks softer, by first rendering the image larger (hence the x2, x4) and resizing it to the final size with some trickery to make neighbouring pixels affect each others colour, resulting in softer edges due to more gradient changes in colour between close pixels.

Anisotropic filtering is a method for enhancing surface graphics rendering, mostly noticeable on steep slopes in the distance where there's usually quite a bit of blurring and loss of detail, which AF tries to reduce.

Follow Renku's first URL to find out how to turn them on.

First hit on google, might be something.

kinda helped Filur, found the Nv panel in me system32 folder, but it only lets me use a max of 2xAF and cant set the AA at all.. dunno if this is MS or NV doin this poop

The drivers are just "basic" - no features, just "make directdraw and direct3d working". So guess what...
Vista isnt supposed to be used every day, it is only interesting for software developers who waht to test their software.

I got the same problem when tried to put some AA+AF for LFS on Vista.current NVIDIA drivers only allowed me to put some AF but as I remeber only about 4xAF.
I was not able to set any AA .Its not LFS issue just NVIDIA+VISTA.

the control panel may allow you to change the settings, but do they actually make any differences?

I have an ATI card, and when i was playing around with vista, and the control panel would let me set all the different features of the card, but vista wouldn't use those settings...

for an example, here is a screen capture i took in vista at 6xAA and 16xAF.
