Won't work. You'll either have to use a capture card or get your hands on AMD's screenshot tool somehow.

Actually could someone try the screenshot fucntion built into EVGA Precision? I know its able to take shots of some games which FRAPs can't.

Link? I'll try it out

Dont you mean istalling Crysis? Dont want to get banned :p

I'm about to start up Crysis right now! Oh man this should be great :D :D



Here's the link to the MLAA "patch" already done to the hotfix:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5h6cpooivo4sbox

This is for Radeon 5xxx cards. Dont know if it'll work for anything else.

Why would downloading the game in anyway imply he was pirating it!?

Can you give some simple fool-proof instructions along with it? I'll add them to the op.

I forgot that we live in a world with steam. I dont use steam or any other DD softwares. My mistake!

There are no instructions for the download I provided. Just download and install.

Grabbing the slipstreamed RAR instead, since I haven't yet run the hotfix installer. Thanks for that.

As for screens, I'm not sure what to use if FRAPS won't pick up that layer.

Can a mod update the OP title to reflect the fact that its now working on 5xxx series cards?

Why would you need to install the 10.10s first? I thought the hotfix was a complete package?

Bleh,
I guess you still might have to do the registry trick along with the "patch"?

It doesn't sound perfect, but this is only an early implementation. Surely, this will get improved with subsequent driver releases. It's neat to see the excitement this has caused. Nvidia better implement this soon to make things really interesting.

It is, I just installed the hotfix and I edited the .inf's myself. I didn't get asked to restart after installing, but I had to for the MLAA checkbox to show up. I tried Batman: AA at 1080P and it definitely works. Thought the difference for me at 1080 wasn't super drastic. I had to give it a few comparison back to back with a close eye. I also tried it with Darksiders and I'm still undecided as to whether or not it's doing something. I'm thinking it is, but again, it doesn't seem very drastic.

Anyone have any game suggestions to try it with where the difference is really noticable?

*Edit - Here is the thread where I got the instructions if you wanna do the inf work yourself.

Slipstreamed hotfix works fine. No registry editing necessary, just restart after installing the hotfix. Going to test now!

Restart your computer first and if that doesnt work then
Try this out:
You can try to add MLAA manually:
Start the Regedit (/REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/CLASS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0000) and look for MLF_NA. So change 1 to 0 and restart the CCC.
If MLF_NA is not available: Add it!
Restart computer

Well I guess SOME ppl need to do the registry trick along with it and some dont? Seems a little finicky right now.

Good stuff. All this should be put in the OP. Hopefully we can get this topic title entered, surely the thread won't be missed with all the activity it's experiencing.

Sorry for the noobish questoin, but I have a 5730 in my laptop, so if I install the driver and hotfix, it should work for me, right?

Also, what games support MLAA right now?

Yes, and support should be universal although its currently incompatible with a few games (like Bad Company 2).

No, it means that you can use RadeonPro to apply it per application on 5xxx and 6xxx series cards without any driver or registry hacking.

And hopefully it means forcing MLAA in games that dont allow it (BFBC2 for example)

Keep "Application Settings" checked and just check the MLAA box. You dont need to change anything else.

Sorry for the stupid question, but all I have to do to get this to work on my 5770 is to install the Catalyst Control Center 10.10 update, and then install the hotfix with pre-patched inf file?

Anyone tried using Window's 7 snipping tool to capture screenshots? Might work, though it could require you to run in windowed mode, still a nice interim solution.

You don't even need to do the former. Just install the file in the op, then restart.

Not really impressed so far.

Tried this with New Vegas and it's kinda gnarly. Clearly working but I'd put it around 2xMSAA level of quality.

On the plus side, it worked in Crysis and I didn't see any noticeable performance loss.

it works. NFS shift seems to be jittery mess with it. But Borderlands looks much better now.

oh and Mafia 2 does not seem to be effected by it. :(

Well if it offers even 2xmsaa quality with practically no performance cost then its worthwile. You can use it in conjunction with MSAA as well you realise, right?

Can someone try getting some screen captures by running games in Windowed mode and using the Windows 7 snipping tool, please? It should work just fine.

I just tried playing Just Cause 2. It didn't seem to do anything and my card fan was going crazy. I quit out of it and and checked my card temps in CCC and they were at 96 degrees. Never seen my 5770 get so hot.

Doesnt work in Just Cause 2 from what I've tried. Not sure why your card did that though.
