For those not fully versed in gaming technobabble, "npatches" (better known as N-Patches) are a form of tessellation, which would normally be found in DirectX 11 games. Because I want the post-apocalyptic state of Nevada to look as awesome as possible, I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not these settings actually do anything.

Also, for those who think these setting wouldn't do anything anyways, behold this DirectX development article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb206188(v=vs.85).aspx) by Microsoft.
