Why do I get Jaggies in WoW on my new Dell 2005fpw?

For some reason, World of Warcraft gives me some bad jaggies on my new Dell 2005fpw 20" widescreen LCD. I run a eVga 6800 ultra at 1680x1050 (widescreen - same res as windows). HL2 and CS:S look perfect. I have all settings cranked. My system is an AMD 64 3400+ 1GB ram.

I was playing on a 21" CRT before which as fas as I can remember displayed WoW fine. Is it just a LCD square pixel thing that I need to get used to? Or maybe it's that the LCD is just crisper and the CRT applied a level of blurring that passed as a poor man's anti-aliasing. It just seems odd that HL2/CS:S look better than before and WoW looks worse than ever.

Here's a few screens from WoW.

  1. 1) Trees have jaggies here
    2) Character hair shows jaggies here
    3) WoW video settings

Any insight is appreciated.

Try turning on AA in the Nvidia control panel. Honestly I think you're knitpicking in this situation, the jaggies you're getting aren't all that bad.

*sigh*
Turn off the full screen glow effect, and turn on AA in your drivers. AA AND THE GLOW EFFECT DO_NOT WORK TOGETHER.
HTH,
