Get 8x antialiasing on Far Cry

[walkingepidemic]

I can't seem to get Far Cry on my pc above 4x antialiasing. I am not sure whether this is a driver problem or just my video card.

I have a Dell Dimension 4500 (512mb ram, Pentium 4 3.06GHz, Nvidia GeForce 6600GT AGP 512mb, Windows XP SP3)

Does the game ever offer more? And have you tried through CCC/ati tray tools/nvcp?

And not to be overly pragmatic, but 4x MSAA and 8x MSAA are visually indistinguishable in the eyes of like, 99% of pc gamers and pc game reviewers. You just tax your system by another 20 fps for essentially no reason. I realize far cry is an old game, but still.

Ok. I didn't realize this. I thought that 8x antialiasing might fix the tree leaves textures and some plants, as they look pixelated and un detailed when you walk right up to them.

That is by virtue of the game's age. Anti-aliasing smooths edges to an extent, but it won't inject HD quality into things. Sadly I feel your pain as I'm a big SFIII fan and I wish there was something I could do to make it look crisper in full screen.
