Smoothing feature?

ja5219 · 05-07-2007, 02:34 PM

Hey all! I have sort of a question that if there is no solution i might consider buying a new Video Card.

I have this computer (sorta old 2002, but runs well) with a
Intel Corporation 82845G/GL/GV/GE/PE Integrated Graphics Device, not the best but that's what it came with.

Im now starting to use a program called (GrLevel3) which is a radar and storm tracking program, this program has a feature called "Smoothing" which makes the radar images smoother only If the graphics card can do it.

I was wondering if there was anything i could download or try to edit or such to possibly try and get smoothing to work on that program. The program says Smoothing is not supported so before i go off and try to buy a new video card i wanted to make sure that i cant do anything else with this one.

Thanks.

It sounds like you're talking about Anti-Aliasing. If the hardware does not support this then you'll simply need to get hardware that does.
