I always wondered what Anisotropic Filtering did

And thanks to the following page (pretty pictures!) I know I should turn it on when I play games:

From the article:

"In my opinion, anisotropic filtering is the most important single image quality setting available on today's 3D hardware"

And a link to wikipedia for some more information

# re: I always wondered what Anisotropic Filtering did

I don't see it mentioned in those articles in my quick skimming of them, but a bonus of AF is that is has very little hardware impact. So you can enable it in most games without affecting your framerate.
