Thank you, Leliel. I did have AF/AA switched. AF being how clear textures are the further they go out and AA being how smooth the edges are. Yeah, had those backwards, but my problem is still the same. AA=Disabled=Smooth Edges. AA=16x= Smooth Edges. Although, after closer inspection I see that AF does in fact work. So, bonus points for that. Even if it doesn't impact my FPS.

While my graphics card is somewhat old, it is more than enough to get reasonable frame-rates out of Second Life. Especially at the lowest setting. I'm only getting about 15FPS at that setting with barely anything around. Plus all the edges are smooth, so I know AF is on. I've looked at it on other viewers too. Nothing different. A little annoying that I can't turn it off.

I did my best. It took some time to figure it out and find the place for it. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-25352 I attached the log file and some pictures of my viewer with the settings changed. Hopefully I did this right.

Yep, that's my problem. Antialiasing has never been able to turn off on my system. There is no visual difference from the Disabled - 16x setting in the "Hardware" menu. If there is anything I can provide to help with this then I'll do my best to provide it. Some quick facts about my system. Celeron 2.6Ghz Dual Core. HD 3450 Catalyst Control Center Version 2011.0126.1749.31909 <- Up to date. 2GB of RAM. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I have a pretty high level of technical skill with computers. (Disregard confusing AA with AF. Ha-ha...) Things you can disregard as the problem. Virus, RAM, drivers. Graphics card is more powerful than a laptop I had a little while ago. It could easily get 30+ FPS at Medium. Mine can't push out more than 15 most of the time on low. And yes, I have everything set to application control. :3 I have had Second Life off and on this system. I am assuming it has always had this problem because my framerate has always been mediocre with SL. In an area with a normal amount of prims with everything set to the lowest. No AF/AA. Shortest viewing radius. Approximately 15FPS. All the edges are smooth though, implying that AA is still on for some reason. Same place with everything set to ultra. With the furthest viewing distance with AF/AA, Longest viewing radius. Approximately 7FPS. And with the shortest viewing angle it is bumped up to about 10FPS. Look at the pictures that are in the comments and you will see that with AA on or off I still have edge smoothing. So, hopefully someone will be able to help me. Edited: 3/28/2011 Confused AF and AA. While the problem is the same, the names have been put in the right spot. Thanks you for your time if you've read this. : D Even if you don't know.
