My bad. I thought the GF3 was still using SS.

No, I think you mean Super Sampling. Even the GF4 AA modes are SS except for Quincunx, which a MS mode AA. As far as I know, the GF3 is SS AA only.

SS AA does provide a better AA quality overall, but at a performance hit that quite substantial.

Yeah the G3 does have Quincunx. The levels were as follows:

Antai Aliasing Off
2x Anti Aliasing
Quincunx
4x Anti Aliasing

I remember this clearly as I just had this card a couple of weeks ago. The Quincunx was designed to give a decent Anti Aliasing Quality without the loss to too many frames. So I wouldn't be surprised if Quincunx is Multi-Sampling while the others were Ssuper-Sampling.

For some reason the AA (or AF for that matter) isn't being applied. I'd do a COMPLETE re-install of the vid card. First clean out ALL video related stuffs, then reinstall the whole thing.

Open the shortcut you use to launch the game and add "-bpp 32" to the command line; without the quotation marks of course.

What drivers are you using if the cat 3.6 wouldn't load properly?:confused:

Make sure you don't have "application preference" turned on.

Also, you upgraded, right? Did you switch to standard VGA and remove all of the Nvidia drivers BEFORE you installed the ATI drivers?

Give what Un4given a try. There were some problems early in the R3xx lifetime that had problems with 16Bit AA. This might be the case as Half-Life without the -32bpp will run at 16bit.

Well.... I already have it at 8xAF adn 6xAA. Knocking down AA to 2x will make things better? Are you sure?

Missed that. No knocking it down will only hurt IQ.

What Un4 suggested is what you need to do. You need to enter that little target command to make CS think its running in 32bit, because ATi doesn't support FSAA for 16bit apps anymore.

I'm not exactly sure what drivers I'm using. All I know is, it's probably the most updated version of all WHQL drivers for ATI. God knows what that is... :::shrug:::

yeah I made sure "application preference isn't on. I did a full format of the OS and everything for this install. What do you mean by "Standard VGA"? Where is that setting?
