    Instructions on How To Enable AA In Bioshock DX9

    Hey guys i have been looking at people in this forum who are having trouble enabling AA on DX9 Windows XP and looking at people saying it cannot be done, Guess what it can, i had the same problems enabling it in nvidia control panel and it not working in the demo or the game anyways the way to get it to work is to get drivercleaner and to start you pc in safe mode and unplug your network cable and disconnect from the T`internet. then uninstall the nvidia drivers in add or remove programs then use drivercleaner to make sure its completely gone. After this restart without safe mode while still being disconnected from the internet and then install the nvidia beta drivers 163.44 for Windows Xp, after this restart again and reconnect your internet and go into the nvidia control and force the AA setting to Override and application and set it to any level you wish, while still in the nvidia control panel change the analising transparency to supersampling and then press apply, you can also add the AF to what ever setting you wish as well. After you have done this start up bioshock and prepare for a jaggie free experience i have in game screenies of this in action and the links are below.

    Oh BTW this is Windows XP DX9 Wooop

    AFx16, No AA: http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?i...x16noaaqa7.png
    AFx16, AAx4 SuperSampled: http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?i...6aax4sulp9.png
    AFx16, AAx8q SuperSampled: http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?i...16aax8qws2.png

    This also worked in Multisample as well and look exacly the same as Supersampled and provided better fps than Supersampled if peoples gfx card cant handle Supersampled mode

    You've pasted the image link with "..." in the middle, copy the full link.

    You can use Multisample as well and you get exacly the same as supersample but more fps

    Geez m8 that was a lot to do i just went to nvidia control panel and changed settings to those i desired, similar to those you have stated and played, that was all, none of the other ☺☺☺☺ you have stated though.
