Whats the correct video settings for my graphics card?

I built a new pc recently. Everything works fine except for my 512mb Nvidia Gforce 6600 graphics card. Im sure the quality should be better, I notice playing Quake 4 that the edges of object appear too jagged for what is supposedly a top quality card. Also video playback is not up to scratch either. What are the usual settings in percentages for color, contrast, brightness and gamma? Can I do anything else to maximise the quality of video playback? Thanks|||A little tip like the forceware one is to find a little registry program called Coolbits it opens up the overclocking features in the nvidia control panel itself and finds the optimal settings for you. once you have installed coolbits you'll find the overclocking features in 3d settings.|||Get a program called FORCEWARE and read up on that. Its free and its at the Nvidia site. It enables your video card settings to be enhanced more.|||Go into the graphic options of the game and play with the following options;



1) Screen resolution - Some games start off at 640x480 or 800x600. You should be able to bump it up to 1024x768 or even 1280x1024.



2) Turn on Anti-Aliasing (or AA). 2x or even 4x anti-aliasing will blur those jagged edges making everything seem much nicer.



3) Turn on Anisotropic Filtering. Might as well. I've no idea what it is but it's there for a reason.



There is not a lot you can do about the video playback. This is pre-recorded footage and can often be recorded at a lower resolution for smoother playback on slower systems.





Good luck and happy gaming!
