How enable MLAA with Catalyst drivers?
MLAA support is provided by the Catalyst 10.10a (hotfix) and is automatically enabled on Radeon HD 6800. But it’s disabled on Radeon HD 5000. Why? Only AMD knows the answer…
How to enable MLAA on Radeon HD 5000 series?
Just download this file: C7106976.txt.
Go in
C: \ AMD \ Catalyst_8.782.1RC5_Win7_MLAA_Oct21 \ Packages\ Drivers \ Display \ W7_INF \
and replace all the content of C7106976.inf by the content of C7106976.txt. Or delete C7106976.inf and rename C7106976.txt in C7106976.inf, as you want
Do the same thing for
C: \ AMD \ Catalyst_8.782.1RC5_Win7_MLAA_Oct21 \ Packages\ Drivers \ Display \ W76A_INF \
Now you’re ready to install the Cat10.10a. Then install it. At the end of the installation, reboot Windows.
Edit:- Too slow.

I am saddened by my 4870's inability to use this. Come on, die already so I can get a DX11 replacement.
thinking the same
Soldato
That's what I thought, and the images posted are reduced size so I'll believe it when I see it.

Op, can you post some 100% crops if you haven't already?
Thanks

Does seem to make the images softer and duller - whites aren't quite so white, reds aren't so vibrant, etc. tho it does smooth edges better than I thought - I would have thought the jitter sampling would have induced more artifacts than is so far apparent.
Soldato
Damn, I'm tempted to get a 5850 now! Can't they patch it so it works on a 8800GT?
Soldato
Yup, looks like AMD users won't be shut out from AA anymore...

Whilst I'm not denying that it works and for any/all games, it's a bit like (and I know this is an exaggeration) smearing vaseline across the screen. I don't think it's a real substitute for the more traditional forms of AA, particularly if you want high image quality.
Soldato
Softer yes but change of vibrancy no & i have looked real careful & cut & pasted the images in paint & checked the colour values.
What your suggesting would mean a tint filter which this is not.
Soldato
^^ yeah does look overly soft, but hey it's for free and I would use it where I couldn't force standard AA in games. This feature is great for cards that struggle with normal AA.

Judging by the screen shot's it doesn't look like that to me personally.
But I do think it could do with a touch of sharpening to add contrast between the pixels.
Personally though I could see myself using this AA as standard, especially gaming at 2560x1600...

it just looks to blurry TBH
i'd sooner have no AA and some jaggies than have a fuzzy whole screen with no jaggies
think it's being to hyped up to be honest

Well it certainly looks less vibrant even if its actually not. Not sure what you mean with the tint filter as that would imply a deliberate effect which is not what I'm saying.
