Visible effects of different settings and video cards

I was wondering if anyone has pictures that clearly show the effects of different graphics preference settings and the differences in what is displayed by different video cards.

As a first request, can anyone produce pictures that show the effects of anisotropic filtering in the S display. I don't see much if any difference.

Sarendale, the shotline I'll give you with anisotropic setting is this: go to a very texture-packed area, and angle many of the textures diagonally so you're looking at them in a slanted way. Turn that setting on and off, and compare the difference—it works differently in 1.7 than 1.6 but there should be a visible sharpness (corresponding to somewhat of a framerate drop) with it ON. Best wishes. :)
