Your resolution in-game determines the amount of detail on the screen. The higher the resolution you use, the more the

graphics card has to work. If you are having problems with low frame rates, lag or stuttering, lowering the resolution

will yield the biggest result.<br />

Temporal antialiasing

|

<p>
|

Some graphics cards support "temporal antialiasing". It's basically a driver trick that gives the effect of a
|
||||
antialiasing, but with less work needed by the graphics card. Try it out, as it is a faster method of
|
||||
antialiasing, but if you don't like it, or it's still too slow, don't use it.
