Frame rates are solidly above 30FPS with every in-game setting fully maxed including 2xAA/16xAF ... there is no option for 4xAA. It is quite smooth except for occasional stutters i do't remember as often in Vista 64 .... hmmm ... it looks like it still has memory management issues like NWN2.

Hmm, you tried walking around in crypts with 2xAA on and it looked normal? What about turning on AA through Catalyst and not through the game?

i only tried in-game AA ... it maxes at 2xAA ... and it looked normal

i will try forcing 4x in the CP tonight and see what happens ... since i am doing a final comparison of Hg:L and The Witcher for my Vista "showdown' benchmarking, i will also try it on both Vista 64 and Vista 32.
[i am uninstalling Vista 64 in a couple of days].
