I can understand your skepticism. However, I am experiencing something
here that is starting to piss me off.
I have lived with it for quite awhile now. I am thinking about getting a
new card. v Two choices really. X800 or back to Nvidia with the 6800.. My
perplexity towards this aa problem is leaning me towards Nvidia. I too am
familiar with ATI's heralded AA. My problem is that I have not witnessed it
first hand. Thanks for the input.
