You just spent hundreds of dollars to build your own SLI computer for some serious gaming. But, you are having problems trying to configure your system to work at its full capability. Playing around with your nVidia 3D Graphic Settings, you come across two options called Antialiasing (AA) and Anisotropic filtering (AF), yet you're not sure what these settings are used for and how they affect you. Through the following experiment I hope to make the performance of these two settings clear so you can utilize AA and AF settings to optimize your SLI rig and render incredible graphics with each breath-taking frame per second. I will also propose which combinations of AA and AF I would recommend to optimize your SLI rig.
