I just know this is gonna be a dumb question, but here goes...

I would like to find out exactly what all the advanced settings "do" for the Radeon 32 DDR driver (4.12.3056). Are these settings documented anywhere? I poked around ATI's site and searched these boards and deja and haven't found anything.

For example, what's the difference between "Subpixel precision" and "Level of Detail" and do they only apply when FSAA is on?

And what is "Anistropic texture filtering" and how much effect does it have on performance?

And what about "Z-buffer bit depths": 16 or 16;24 or 16;24;32? Why does the third option have three depths? I thought a z-buffer was just one bit depth, like 16 or 24 or 32.

I would really like to find some doc on these settings, or if you have an answer to those questions, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!
