Default What detail levels does everybody use?

So I have been playing around a lot looking for the perfect combo of details vs performance for my games (mostly Battlefield 1942 right now), and I think I found my comp's sweet spot.

I use RivaTuner to set all my detail levels - this little prog is the skizzley-dang for NVidia GFX card overclocking and detail/fx controls.

Anyway, here's what I have set up:

- Mipmap LOD bias adjustment: -1 (this makes textures much sharper)
- Anisotropy: Force level 2 (again increases focus, level 4 is nicer but takes a lot more work from your card)
- Antialiasing: 2x
- Enable texture sharpening
- Resolution: 1024x768x32bpp
- BF1942 in-game all details at highest

Like I said this is mostly for BF1942, but this goes for other games I'm sure I just haven't tested anythign else yet.

So what are you guys running at? Any suggestions?

That is for you to find, my friend!

Here's a good guide that covers the basics of video card detail tweaking:

http://www.sharkyextreme.com/guides/...le.php/1463741

You might want to download RivaTuner and try some settings out for yourself, to get the feel of it. If I were you I would go read up on the basic detail settings and what they mean, basic video card terminology, etc. That link I posted should help, although Google.com can usually answer 95% of my questions
