Does PSU have thease options and if not is there a way to turn them on?
X16 Antial. would be nice
and x16 antiso. would help with clipping graphics

You can always force enable these in your graphic card's control panel.

Hmm So do you know if PSU has thease options if it doesnt isnt it kinda being stuck in the past.
Resolution alone doesnt cut it anymore....
I would still play this game for years on 640-480 like pso but mightaswell make it look good while im at it...

I know what anti-aliasing is, but, what does anti-isotropic filtering do?

Anti aliasing like you know but some people dont- It smoothens the jaged edges.
Antiso. Makes farther away items like say a tower in the background Clearer because it is smaller and farther away on the screan there are less pixles to show the picture it makes it smoother again. In stead of seeing a bumpy or blured version you see it more liflike and clearly
Basicaly its for distant items

Can anyone who has the PC version conferm any options that might have a drop down arrow that shows options like
x2
x4
x6

Or it might just be
2
4
6
And we know theres a frame skip option but that just makes the game worse......

Just do it via your drivers. I personally like jaggies sometimes

You can't really make out a difference above 8x anistropic filtering. It's noticable if you look closely, but while you're playing, it doesn't really matter.

I'd say that anything above 8x on either option is pointless unless you want to take very pretty screenshots. During gameplay you're not exactly examining things for jaggies anyway.

Lol No, No I meant it as in id rather have a higher resolution like 1280 with no Anti Aliasing than at 1024 with 8x Anti aliasing. Im personally a massive anisotropic filtering man myself i'd prefer 16x anisotropic over any anti aliasing any day.

Oh well the card im getting can run RES at 2600-1800 *not exactly i forgot it* and x16 on both

ATI X1900XTX
and especialy on PSU being that its not the best graphics
