4870 - Issues with AA

[imported_glacier]

I recently upgraded from 8800GTS 320mb to HD4870. Overall the in-game performance has improved as expected. However, I notice that my new card has issues with AA with the following games:

Colin McRae: Dirt - Looks like 4870 does not support AA in this game (Have tried enabling AA in the in-game option or force it thru catalyst control panel, but the graphic seems to be AA 'off' with very noticeable jaggedness).

Mass Effect - Although AA is not offcially supported, I used to be able to force AA with the 8800 GTS. However, can't achieve the same results with 4870.

Anyone has similar findings, or any solutions to the above?

i hear the 8.7 drivers soon to be out will allow you to force AA in Mass Effect... this is a specific work around nVidia and AMD are implementing to have the driver force AA on an engine that does not support it. So it takes a little time.

I'm playing ME with 2xAA forced through the 8.7 beta driver. I also used it with the hotfix 8.6's. I'm using the box method.

 

[taltamir]

what is the box method? and how can I use it?

I am assuming he means the box setting for AA under the AA settings, its in the drop down tab. You get Box, Narrow,Wide and Edge

They seem to have AA working fine in Dirt on ATi parts here:
