aa= anti-aliasing. This is a software technique that "blurs" the edges of objects to make them look more realistic. Its quite intensive on the graphics card. af= anisotropic filtering. Used to retain sharpness of 3d images in the "distance". Most intensive on the graphics card. http://whatis.techtarget.com/defini...tax1679,00.html has many more video and multimedia terms explained The 345/450 is the memory speed and core speed of the card, though I don't know what card that is referring to, doesn't look quite like any of the newest. Perhaps it was overclocked? You overclock by increasing the memory and core speed, using software to control the settings. You can do it with pretty much any card, but it does void the warranty, and can cause damage to your card. HTH

AA and AF are generally used in games, and can be turned on/off in the options for that game when you run it. Too much oc can overheat the card and fry it. |
