what's anisotropic texture filtering?

[AmbitV]

and should I enable it on my Radeon 32 DDR?

 

[krupini]

no, its a type of filtering. It'll slow down your card

So does 32-bit output, FSAA, bump mapping, trilinear texture filtering, etc. Should none of these be used either?

anisotropic = non uniform shape. Basically it filtering in a nonuniform way across mip-map levels. It delivers considerably better quality, but we haven't seen anything yet in terms of quality.
