Then what about [FSAA 3(, [FSAA -1(, etc. I think a warning wouldn't hurt, you could add in 5 as a supported value.
Another option is to have a [antialiasing 0/1( message with just gives a default AA level for people who don't want to think about it.
ok, here is a list of valid values with the old nvidia drivers (96.73)
GeForce, GeForce2, Quadro, and Quadro2 Pro 0 FSAA disabled 1 FSAA disabled 2 FSAA disabled 3 1.5 x 1.5 Supersampling 4 2 x 2 Supersampling 5 FSAA disabled 6 FSAA disabled 7 FSAA disabled
GeForce4 MX, GeForce4 4xx Go, Quadro4 380,550,580 XGL, and Quadro4 NVS 0 FSAA disabled 1 2x Bilinear Multisampling 2 2x Quincunx Multisampling 3 FSAA disabled 4 2 x 2 Supersampling 5 FSAA disabled 6 FSAA disabled 7 FSAA disabled
GeForce3, Quadro DCC, GeForce4 Ti, GeForce4 4200 Go, and Quadro4 700,750,780,900,980 XGL 0 FSAA disabled 1 2x Bilinear Multisampling 2 2x Quincunx Multisampling 3 FSAA disabled 4 4x Bilinear Multisampling 5 4x Gaussian Multisampling 6 2x Bilinear Multisampling by 4x Supersampling 7 FSAA disabled
GeForce FX, GeForce 6xxx, GeForce 7xxx, Quadro FX 0 FSAA disabled 1 2x Bilinear Multisampling 2 2x Quincunx Multisampling 3 FSAA disabled 4 4x Bilinear Multisampling 5 4x Gaussian Multisampling 6 2x Bilinear Multisampling by 4x Supersampling 7 4x Bilinear Multisampling by 4x Supersampling 8 4x Bilinear Multisampling by 2x Supersampling (available on GeForce FX and later GPUs; not available on Quadro GPUs)
so which value is invalid (apart from "-1")?
and as cyrille has pointed out, this has changed with newer driver versions.
people who don't want to think about it, should use a settings-tool that comes with their hardware (e.g. nvidia-settings)
