Text unreadable and no anisotropic (help with my config)

[giofx]

Hello spacemates
not sure this is the right place, I have a couple of questions.
I'm not sure is a game issue or my configuration (running on a quad i5 3450 / GTX650/E/2GB / 8GB -> HDMI playing at 720p), for what I red no one is having the anisotropic disabled.

in short:
- text is so blocky/blurry sometimes unreadable (see right cockpit monitor);
- anisotropic filter is always disabled (grayed out) in the game settings;

before to bother you all I tryed almost every graphic settings, both in game and in the nvidia control center, also by forcing anisotropic, AAx0,AAx8, alpha AA... no way: anisotropic isnt in use and text is always the one in the shot: seems to play System Shock on DOS fullscreen

I've playied X3 AB/TC with the same rig, same resolution (so isnt a monitor rescaling problem) without any problem, aniso enabled (by the game) at 8x (by default) and text is really fine at 720p (btw: in Rebirth text is fine too at 1080p but this is not exactly an "high end rig" so I prefer less lag)

any hint?
thanks in advance

You may need to increase the resolution a little to improve the clarity. You should be able to play at a higher resolution if you lower some of the other settings.

Its ridiculus that they praised this game as Big Screen compatible, has anyone ever played this on Big Screen in?
I have a 56inch HD TV and can'T see sh*it,
Text is too small all is blury (even in 1080p)

mmm... in X3 text was ok at 1280x720, this seems at 320x200 a bit too messy for that resolution
anyway I can toy with various resolution (lag ! lag ! ok isnt a SLI I know ...) oh: there is a key combo to display framerate or i need FRAPS?

Still the "grayed out" anisotropic setting is a mystery:
I assume Rebirth is not using texture filtering on my geforce and ... thinking the texture quality (so the text) is affected by that ( ? ).
As i said X3 AB/TC give to me an 8x filtering by default and looks less blurry than Rebirth.
I checked the XML config hoping to force it, theres no tag with anisotropic.
(btw im using the latest nvidia driver 331.65 on Win8/64, card is an Asus GTX650 with 2GB of VRAM)
