I used D3D AF tester and using ATi Tray Tool I triggered different options in the AF Tab and I found that activating the Enable High AF improoved the AF in Far Distances and the High Quality AF with Trilinear improved the AF quality in close range. The overall quality improoved up to between 5% and 20%. The AF still angle dependent and is not comparable to the X1X00 series because their High Quality AF setting triggers a Non Dependent Angle AF. I don't know how to post pictures on a web, but as soon as I figured it out, I will post the pictures, X8X0 users may give it a try and probably the 95XX users and above, since the X8X0 is based on the 9X00 architecture.

Your thread title is misleading since HQ AF is not angle dependent and after all of this you still don't have it working on the X8xx.

What you were doing is simply enabling existing AF settings from AF tester which is what other people already do from ATT/CCC.

High Quality Anisotropic-Filterting is unique to the current ATi generation, it can't be done on the X8XX series.

Most of the reviews from the early R520 days, with technical details on the new architecture will confirm that.

Nope, I opened the AF Tester just to show the Aniso in action, I never used any settings on it, I used the ATT to make the changes which occurs in real time. And BFG10K, is true that my topic is a bit misleading, but if you read the entire content carefully you can see that I never said that the High Quality AF of the X1X00 can be obtainable with the X8X0, Also I said that the High Quality AF is not angle dependant. What I just said is that there's an option in the ATT that says Enable High Quality AF, and once you do it, you can see improovements in the AF on the X8X0, that's it. Still, the X8X0 series still using Angle Dependant AF.
