This might be a stupid question but,

is it better to set the AA and AF settings in the display control panel, the particular game being played, or both? I have a 9700 Pro. I have my AA and AF settings set in the ATI control panel. Take Max Payne 2, for example. Should I set them in the game and set the control panel to "application preference"? Or should I Leave my control panel as is and not use the settings in the game? Or should I use both? Not sure it even matters, I don't know. Just curious as to what you guys do and what you would recommend.
Thanks,
friedmonky

just do a little of trial tests to see if there are differences then you will know.
