well, you could just try it... trilinear optimization.... hmmm im guessing that it would probably make it look worse (turning it off), .... just try and if you dont like, switch back

lol, no problem, sorry for the annoying suggestion. i know ppl do that all the time , well its still a possibility. trying it will take up a lot less time than finding someone who knows everything about trilinear optimization

I found this from this site that might help:

"The last two options are Trilinear Optimization and Anisotropic Optimization. Trilinear Optimization should always be enabled. It'll provide better performance and image quality, both of which are pluses. Anisotropic Optimization, on the other hand, would probably hurt your framerate a fair bit. We'd recommend leaving this off."
