Ragnar-Kon Downloaded it, tried it, SC2 now kicks the snot out of my Radeon HD 2400. My Radeon HD 4870 runs it like a champ. Wish I had a 5xxx series... *sigh*Reply
Props to the ATI team at AMD, good job. -
kezix_69 Hopefully they can keep this up and maybe I'll get an ATI card next time I buy a video card!Reply -
Huh ?Reply
Didn't the ATI CC or the Nvidia Control Panel already have the ability to add anti aliasing to ANY Direct3D application ? I always do that on old apps in nvidia control panel... -

Doesn't always work well. Nvidia has a similar thing that I tried and it didn't work. Had to wait for latest drivers to actually support the game and even then they're not tweaked for it. -
jakmove Can't wait to get these downloaded, and the game installed. Also waiting for my second 5770. It's gonna be a good week!Reply
