ATI catalyst says Samples:24x is it really 24x?

[Romstar]

Whenever I turn my AA to 8 and then select edge detect in the filter it says samples: 24x. But whenver I move the bar to the far right to 16x i dont get any video and games usually crash at 16x. So I have 2 questions, is it really 24x AA and howcome the games crash?

Not 100% sure someone will come along who knows for sure but it sounds to me like the edge blur thing i think its supposed it give the same effect as 24x aa.
Are u using the new 7.7 drivers i spoted something on the forum yesterday but didnt really read it properly.

Nice setup mate..


I think 2900xt's have that new setting called CFAA Custom Filter AA.

Try putting AA off and cranking that up, might run a bit better and it should still look the same.

I went all through the catalyst control center, and I could not find where to set to 24x. Also, where do I go to moniter my temperatures?
