I currently have a HD4850 and im a bit dissapointed because you still cant force AA by using CCC. No matter what your settings are in CCC the game is what the game is, period. I think this is absolutley retarded that ATI does this.

I want to know if Nvidia lets you force AA? Or does anybody now if ATI is working on this or if they even care? I cant stand jaggies. I hate them. I want a set up that will let me force AA. Even if it means I have to switch to an Nvidia board (planned dual card in the near future)

I really hope ATI fixes this. i have a crossfire board and dont want to switch. I prefer the intel chips.

Anybody have any Idea if ATI plans to fix this? Or if Nvidia lets you force AA?

Both CCC and Nvidia's Control Panel allow forcing AA.

nvidia does have a better forcing aa record than ati. it has been like this since ever.

Ati does allow you to force aa in most titles, but some are obviously not covered. I complained through official ati service online, and i got no response yet. I complained sometime near the begging of this year.

in what game you cant force aa?

If you want my supposed "fanboy" advice, sell the 4850, get the 260 on newegg for ~$200, and enjoy the better/optimized drivers :)

Also I highly recommend the XG drivers at www.tweakforce.com

And for my Ati buddies on this board, yes they do CATS too.

hi lunatic wolf. I think that getting somewhat faster in very few titles gtx 260 for an extra 200$ is a bad idea.

I am interested in tweakforce drivers. What do they do? I went to their site, but aside from links to download them, I didnt find any indication on why should I do that.

It doesnt say that they perform better (presumably) or what they do differently. Care to share?
