What's the highest AA in Crysis??

I just installed crysis but I can only choose up to x8 in AA. My friends who also have the game can choose up to x16 in AA and even x16 Q, whatever that means. It's not like the option x16 is there but I can't select it, it doesn't EXIST! I only have up to x8 in my AA meny and no other options exist. I have a much better computer than my friend. I have the Radeon 4870X2 graphic card, quad core cpu at 2.4 MHz and 4 GB RAM.
I can run Crysis in Very High at 1680 x 1050 with x8 AA without any problems! So what's the issue? Is there some problem with my installation? Didn't those options get installed? Do anyone else have the same problem??

Thanks in advance!

i have the same problem with my hd4870, maybe these cards cannot support higher than 8x :S

interesting, i just replied in your thread in the games section that he was forcing it through drivers but obviously not.

the only thing i can think of is it is a TWIMTBP title and crytek added in extra AA for nvdia's 8 and 9 series.

As far as i know X16 should be available to you if not 32x supersampling AA. I recently read an article that said all the higher (not very specific i know) spec cards from both camps can do X16 and in SLI or crossfire 32X super sampling AA. So that depends how it reads the 4870X2. Thats in drivers and not in the actual game settings of course.

I have played BF2 since I got my computer (2yrs ago at C2D launch) and it has been through 4 different GPUS.

On my X850XT, 4X AA was max selectable in BF2
On my X1950XT, 6X AA was max
On my 8800GTS, 8X was max
On my HD4850, 8X is still the max

I have read that some people with just SLId 7900s can get to 16X AA in BF2

I'm thinking that Crysis does something similar to this game, so it will depend on your gpu.

16xQ, I can see Crysis running well with that. I can't even run DX9.0b games at 16xQ

I always do 4X AA if anything. THe 9700M GTS in my laptop can do HL2 Maxed out with 16xQ @ almost 200 fps dropping to 120 here and ther hahah So meh!

It's amazing how many people have been claiming to run Crysis with everything high/very high and with 16xAA and claim to get 25-35-fps with just a 4870X2.

why?

if you could get it forced through the drivers i see no reason to run it at high with that aa at that fps, at least in parts where there is no one else around, i have only been testing the demo and can't quite get 16x forced through drivers but with 4x AA with edge detect and adaptive AA on i can get that sort of fps on high settings.

maybe something is wrong and the settings ain't being applied properly but why so sceptical?

yeah nvidia's gay for that.
