What do the Quality, Balanced and Aggressive modes in drivers mean?

[AtomicDude512]

For both nvidia and ATI, anyone know? I am puzzled.

High quality images at the expense of framerate.
Balance of framerate with good quality.
Highest framerates possible by not attempting the best image.

Basically effects things like anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, et cetera.

Today's ATI 9600 Pro review on the main AT site goes into a little detail on this, including notes on how nvidia's has changed / will change again soon.

I have to say that I am slightly dissapointed with nVidia's latest standing on things, blocking DVD playback with drivers over 40.72, bad image quality for speed and so forth...

I am currently purchasing ATI cards now untill nVidia get's better.
