Setting LDView to use hi-res primitives will use those where it finds them (in place of the equivalent standard-res primitive). That means that, where there is a 48/ version of a primitive, that will be used instead of the standard version (with 16 segments).

The curve quality setting is mostly independent of this. If you set the curve quality to be 48 segments or more, then all primitives will use whatever is set in curve quality. (Note that 48/ primitives will look identical to standard primitives in this case, as the curve quality setting doesn't multiply the base number of segments, but instead provides a minimum number of segments.)

Note also that the "Use high-resolution primitives when available" setting is independent of the "Primitive Substitution" setting. So you can do that even if primitive substitution is disabled. To be honest, though, the "Use high-resolution primitives when available" setting isn't all that useful. It's generally better to just increase the curve quality.
