    New catalyst will enable AA @ UE3-Games w/ ATI-GPUs

    source (german): http://www.pcgameshardware.de/?article_id=630194

    PCGH got hold of a new catalyst beta version. With this driver its possible to enable AA at any game which uses the unreal engine 3. They even did some early benches with a HD3850. But this driver might not be released untill Cat. 8.3. Dont knwo if this will work only with HD3k-series or if u can use HD2k/X1k-series too.

    Bioshock needed AA pretty bad, this sure took a long time.

    Maybe I am blind, but when I look at the image it looks to me like 2x FSAA gets less FPS than 4x and 8x FSAA... How does that work?

    Don't get me wrong, I though Bioshock looked excellent. Although the lack of AA was apparent and a distraction from the image quality at times to me.

    I think 4x is actually 2x, 8x is actually 4x, and 2x is actually 8x.

    Agreed.
    4xFSAA performs best out of the FSAA, then 8x, then 2x?

    Nice to see some progress. Now if only ATI would enable software/emulated SM3 for X800 series
