[Darkwave]

That's exactly why I chose a 19" panel instead of a 24" one.

I've not used the ATI control before (nvidia fanboy ), but you should just be able to go to the video/graphics settings of your chosen game and there is usually an AA&AF option in there, with an X1900XT I'd try 4xAA and 8xAF for the average game.

Here's an artical/guide on AA&AF here http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2005/07/04/aliasing_filtering/1.html, skip to page five of that artical and there is some comparsion shots to show you the difference with AA & AF on and off.

i play wow mostly and cant seem to find AA or AF in video section, got multi sampling at x6 but i guess this is different??

Yes thats it, your graphics card will eat that game for breakfast so set the Multi-sampling as high as it can go, under 'World Apperance' whack all the sliders to the right and under 'Shaders' tick all the boxes.

Or do like some of us do, me including, buy 8800gtx and run AA 16xQ and AF 16x at any game you throw at it

hahaha 16q aa + 16af + Superduper sampleing @ max settings

HL2 = GODLIKE

there is only 1 way to play this game and 1 way to view it

Soz for offtopic abit but on some of my older game in the settings theres nothin for aa and af how do i set it to say 4aa with out going to nvidia control panel as i have some games with 4aa others with 2aa

Get an app called nhancer and set the AA AF for each game profile. Works way better than the control panel.
