help with my geforce4 card

[Dodger]

I just got a geforce 4 mx420 i dont know if its any good but it made the game look significantly better (especially with that lighting patch) but what im trying to figure out is that in the manual it came with it tells me that theres extra stuff I can "tweak" by clicking on the "Additional Properties" button but it seems I can and it looks like the pic down below. What do I need to do to be able to access those extra tweaks?

by the way i have dx9.0a and have the lates det driver from nvidia, problem is I dont know how to "tweak" anything else other than what the Nview thing lets me touch (AA, etc..)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here's the pic of what I can't access...

I'll trade you this texture for an answer, now can someone help?

Just click on the Performance&quality settings on the upper left menu.....

 

[Dodger]

That only gives me SOME of the features, I saw the manual and it had all sorts of tweaks.

Is the manual specific for gf4mx or is it a manual for the whole geforce4 family, because maybe the mx versions don't support "additional properties"

 

[Vazza]

I know for a fact that you can access the additional properties section with a GF4 MX. In the "additional properties" section should be AA, anistropic filtering settings etc.

Dodger,

Try Atuner at

or try NVMAX at

these utilities allow you to tweak hidden settings for your geforce card, and may let you alter these settings on the fly, and even allow the shaded tabs to be accessed......

Give them a try

Wow, thanks alot for your help, i managed to get the extra properties which were like someone said AA, antisomething or other BUT, the NVmax drivers give me a message saying that I need detonator 4 version 20.00 or higher for it to work. I currently have the latest detonator available from Nvidia, so now I'm wondering if its possible to get to the Open GL or D3D on my specific type of card?

 

[Dodger]

okay, i dowloaded something called NVhardpage, it gave me a bunch of D3D and open gl things I could tweak but I don't know what the best or which ones are necessary to be enabled for it to get the most out of the card. Sorry for being such a pain in the a$$ but I'm wondering what's the best setup
