hello, if any1 knows about multisampling, plz some advice...how does it work, is it better to set higher or lower..i keep trying to set lower on my main...but it wont...stay at the setting.
stays 24x24x16x16 or something...trying to lower it...hoping it will improve fps...but idk..not to familiar with it
as alwasy ty in advance. :P
RE: MutiSampling..??
multisampling is basically a way of rendering a model/scene at a high resolution, then scaling it down to a lower resolution. this generally makes things appear more detailed, less jagged edges, etc. often takes a good bit of extra gpu power.Originally Posted by 'hellsown',index.php?page=Thread&postID=138865#pos t138865
not sure why the setting wouldn't be staying after you change it. does it go back to the earlier setting immediately after you try to apply it, or after you open wow back up?

best way to think of multisampling is this.
go in-game and walk on a road, any road. look straigh down (bird's eye view) and check out the nice patterns on the road. notice how they repeat themselves after a while? imagine a square shaped box making up that pattern, with a bunch tiled together to make up the pattern for the road. thats multisample? no not yet.
now instead of looking straigh down on the road change the angle so you can see the road leading off into the horizon. do you see the patterns changing to relate to your perspective of the road, relative to where you are? and if you look futher into the horizon where the road leads... do you still see the same pattern, only smaller? if you do then you've got your multisampling at a super high setting. if you look into the horizon but instead of seeing the same patterns on the ground, you see a muddy, murky blurr that represents the road, then you've got your multisampling on a lower setting. basically your computer will take one pattern and use it over and over and over again to make the terrain. the farther away something is, the blurrier things will get. the higher your settings are, the clearer you will see things at a further distance. with a lower quality videocard, say a geforce 6200le, you can actually see a line where the change will occur from blurr to clear while you're running. better cards will add more transition between what's far and whats near, and will make the world you're in seem seamless. hope that explains it a little.
multisample... take one sample and multiply it across your screen. in the above example, it was a sample of the road.
ok i got it, now....tyvm..for the explanation (spelled right?)lol....anyways..i understand now...so to better performance on my pc...is better to set it lower....
It resets after i reopen wow....whether by itself or with my 4 accounts...i use keyclone...so really not sure how to open the wow windows then start keyclone...because when i..reset it..knocks that window out of place...lol and idk how to reset...lol
argh i am such a newb...
anyways, tyvm...
Do you use Vista? If so try running WoW as Administrator, change what you need to change, close it out and start it back up. The changes should stay the same.

k ty i will try that right now...
didnt work, they all reset again to 24 bit colorx24 bit depthx8 multisample...
You should be able to change the global setting for multi-sampling (its probably called anti-aliasing) in your video cards control panel (not sure that wow will pick up on it), but worth a try.
