Recently my 4850 stopped displaying either AA and/or AF in the following games:

Oblivion
Morrowind
Call of Duty 4
Bioshock
Fallout 3
Counterstrike Source
Age Of Empires III
NBA 2K9

..after upgrading to the 8.12's all the way from the 8.8's. I used to play all these games with 4x AA thru the CCC with almost no performance hit VRS having no AA at all.. but NOW, every game I listed here is not getting AA applied through the CCC. Half these games don't have menu options for AA, and for Oblivion for instance if I use menu AA, I lose AF. What could be messing with my AA/AF settings so absolutely horribly? All my games look like freaking garbage now..

I also tried reinstalling the 8.8's, but the CCC will no longer work. Even tried the 8.10 drivers and they are having the same problem. Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

I can chime in for Oblivion. I have Qarl's Texture Pack installed, as well as a few other mods and have noticed that from time to time I have to restart the game to make the AF apply. This was with the 8.11 drivers. I haven't played since the 8.12's came out, but I'll have to give it a shot.

I feel for you though, it's really annoying to have a card that can max out those games, but not be able to use it to its full potential.

I actually noticed this recently too. Forcing AA in the control panel wasn't doing squat only in game AA modes. This is using 8.12's. I don't know when it started but for sure it used to work prior to 8.12's.

I can check a few titles out for ya but i can confirm for sure in these titles :

I'll add em as I check em.
