Can someone explain AA modes to me?

There are too many options these days!

Currently playing the new assassins creed on a 7990. I have the options of fxaa, msaa, eqaa etc. Apart from framerate, i honestly cant notice a difference. That probably answers my question, but it bothers me that i might be missing something.

Can someone explain the difference between them?

What driver are you using mate? Is crossfire actually working on that title?

13.11 beta I think it is. Both cores are being utilised equally, so it looks like it is working. I don't think they have released any optimised driver or profile for it yet though?

FXAA caps out at 60fps with all settings turned up. Maximum eqaa gives between 30-55, depending on the scene.

It is a very cpu heavy game, but only seems to use one core.

Lots of useful info here, thanks

Going to move away from fxaa, didn't realise it blurred the image. Guess i need to look more closely!

At least i understand more about them now.

Oh its a Ubisoft game? Lol, good reason for me to avoid it then.

One cpu core, really? In this day and age? Shocking.

Are you using 13.11 beta 9.5? Can you take a guess at the crossfire scaling?

Yep, beta 9.5. No idea how well it is scaling.

I have read that it performs better with a dual core cpu and that a quad core makes no difference. I haven't seen it use more than one core though! Such a beautiful game though.

Well have set it to EQAA2x. Can't see any jaggies and I get 60fps pretty consistently. FXAA was definitely blurring the image a little.
