Anisotropic Filtering: Turning it on
Rockermonkey:
*high fives Leticron* That's my card XD. By the way, with good memory/CPU and such you should be able to put almost every on the highest except for Advanced rendering and shadows. Also I have it on 8x, so unless my cards just magical, I think you should be able to crank it up to there. I only have 2 gigs on Vista, so it's not my computer is that almighty and I get no lag on pretty high settings for the card that's apparently not even supposed to run it...EA should really update their card list, because it's a dumb one.
Alex:
I set it to 16x and noticed very little difference (it was there, but it wasn't much). The roads still look like shit in Edit Town.
Leticron:
@Rockermonkey: Yep, that's what I have here 32-Bit Vista with 2GB and said onboard chip.
I didn't want to crank it up all the way right from the start, since I just (hopefully) recovered from a nasty nvlddmkm.sys error.
I installed the latest detonator and haven't have a crash since (knock on wood).
I might crank it up in a few days but I don't expect too much more improvement.
Let's face it GFX in TS3 compared to TS2 are just crappy.
As for the chip not beeing on the list....conspiracy theory or not I suspect EA leaving that out on purpose
That way, a lot of people with low end cards go out and jumpstart the market.
But if you test any arred version first (and buy only the games which deserve it), you'll just know when it's time to buy better hardware.

I set mine to 8x and there was a significant improvement in grass/street detail. It may have degraded performance a little bit, it's hard to tell.
Leticron, I don't think you can judge the graphics in Sims 3 if you're just using a 6150SE. Not only is that onboard video, it's crappy and ancient onboard video at that.
Graphics in Sims 3 is actually much better, just the lighting is weird and makes sims doughey and creepy, but other than that, everything else looks much better.

Heyyy, I have a 6150SE and it's awesome XD. The only thing that kills my game is advanced rendering :). Even then it's playable.
