Ahh yes what do all those things do? Let me tell ya :hmm:

With a Ati 9200 with all those options turned on Your games will look super sweet,and will bring your gaming down to a crawl.

Your best options with that Card is to leave them off.

Turning them on=slow frame rate :cry:

Turn them off =Better frame rate :hail:

trueform = only supported by games which design for it, this option make everythings look much refined (not so edgy).

antialiasing = makes line look less jerky.

anisotropic = make further object clearer.

smoothvision = mmmm. this might be the superclass that given by ATI for ,trueform , antialiasing, anisotropic.
