    well in the main ui screen,the text up top ( options,game,mods...) those are blurry,to a point.But in game it does not look as good if i wasn't using it.I also just downloaded dx8.1 and gain a few fps,and 25 points on my 3dmark2001.<br>
    <br>
    I have not tried aa with dx8.1 yet,but i will.What exactly does aa do?Will it increase rates?

    no aa will decrease rate, it takes the image on the screen and blurs the it to remove jagged lines. Essentially it has to put together each frame 3 times for each frame presented. so if your getting 30 fps while aa is on then it is calculating 90. <br>

    directx8 should have hurt ya. the next drivers should be good for you.<br><br><i>This message was edited by Bugsy on 13 Aug 2001 01:12 PM</i>

    the dx drivers i am using (8.1) had a good impact on frame rates over the old drivers i was using (8.0)

    well thats good, I've heard dx8 isn't great for kyro 2, but there is a fix in the next release. If your not feeling it then thats great.
