It would be nice to put anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering options in the system options tray.
Maybe have the left part of the bar be 1x (No anti-aliasing), then to the right is 2x, 4x, 8x, and 16x.
I am currently forced to use nVidia Control Panel options to edit PWI's settings to "Override the application settings" to 16x, and I do not feel that is natural to use on a program that does not support it. Of course it works, but what about those people who don't know how to use the control panels?

Same goes for Anisotropic Filtering.

    Anti-aliasing = smoothing out diagonal lines so that you can't see the pixels at the edge.

    Dunno what anisotropic is. I'm only a partial nerd. b:surrender

    Okay, well here are the definitions for each of them:
    Anti-Aliasing - Bridigan explained it well.
    Anisotropic Filtering - Making so that textures from a long distance can be viewed clearly instead of blurred.
    And for those who don't know what textures means... well search it.

    Basically they make stuff look better.
    o.o'

    Me generally turn them off for increased performance. (well not that me has to, but it be less overall load on the graphical processing unit.)
    also me don't bother because everything looks the same to me either way.

    I say yes to this idea, as long as the default is that these options are turned off. Otherwise we'll hear lots of QQ about older computers exploding.
