Currently I have an NVidia Geforce 4 440 and have been told that it's not ideal, BUT it is in the supported graphics cards list, which my mum's computer's graphics card wasn't, so it's a start for skint me. Oh and edge smoothing has never appeared, ever. It's always greyed out. It has the latest drivers, which again I'm told are quite old. I considered using third-party drivers for it but my OH seemed wary about me doing that and he's a compy technician so I decided to trust him rather than the internet.


If I am not mistaken, the latest drivers do not suport the MX series. Try the 84.21 drivers.

Also, don't SMOOTH edges. Edges are EDGES. They should not be SMOOTH. A SMOOTH edge is not an EDGED edge anymore! Smooth edges merely cause blurriness, the bane of copypasta.

I agree that smooth edges are a contradiction in terms, but what this feature is supposed to do is to remove edges where no edges should be. A round circular shape is meant to be smooth, in computer graphics it has more edges than anything else.

That said, I am not sure if I would see much difference if I had smooth edges turned off.

J. M. Pescado:
Round circular shapes cannot truly exist when drawn in square pixels. Everyone knows that! The only thing "smooth edges" gives you, is, instead of a sharp pixelled edge like you would expect to see, a blurry mass of poo with no defined edge.

Quinctia:
I had weird graphical glitches like pools cutting through entire buildings and junk until I clicked smooth edges up one notch from none.

I don't CARE about smooth edges, but something about it makes my graphics not go wacko.
