<p>I haven't played EQ2 since around the time Faydwer came out. I just started playing again, and I am trying to sort out my graphics settings. My computer has been upgraded a LOT since I played last, and the game is running silky smooth on the maximum preset, but the following questions are nagging me.</p><p>* I did try to search for answers, but I am finding that searching this forum is just producing a lot of very old threads, usually in the 2004-2006 time frame. I want to know where we stand <em>today</em>.</p><p>1. I still don't see any options for Anti-Aliasing or Anisotropic Filtering in-game. I remember there were apparently problems with these options back at release. Have they still not been implemented properly?</p><p>2. Did they ever add an in-game Framerate display, or do I still need to use Fraps to examine my performance?</p><p>3. Under shadow options I see the option of GPU and CPU shadows, but so far I have noticed little or no difference between them. What is the difference? Which is better visually and which is better for performance? Is one of them buggy or problematic?</p><p>4. Those same shadow options mention shader 3.0, but I dont see any option to change my shader settings. Is there some trick to this?</p><p>5. On the subject of newer graphics options, did they ever add support for DX10 or DX11? I am guessing not, but EQ1 always liked to stay up-to-date on the latest version of DX, so I'd think EQ2 would too.</p><p>6. I may be mistaken on this, but I seem to recall that EQ2 capped your framerate at 30fps. Is this still the case, or never the case?</p>
