not many seem to know this but if you want the absolute crispest textures when using high res textures:

in your driver -- you should turn anisotropic completely off (no texture filtering) and also choose highest quality textures.

nvidia mentions this in their skyrim config FAQ.

makes a big difference for anything within 3-ish feet of your skyrim character.
