ATTENTION Geforce 8800 & Windows Vista owners

[BirdKiller]

There is an issue that relates to Battlefield 2 according to the release notes for the newest Nvidia drivers (158.24 June 1, 2007) to date:

•General Antialiasing Problem with Top Games

We have found that some games running under Windows Vista enable 16x
coverage sampling antialiasing (CSAA) when 4xAA is selected in the game
menu, resulting in deflated performance on GeForce 8800 cards.

The problem occurs with NVIDIA Vista drivers 100.54 and later.

The same effect will occur in future "Release 100" Windows XP drivers.
Affected applications found to date include:

• Battlefield 2
• Battlefield 2142
• Sin Episodes
• Half-Life 2
• Half-Life 2 Lost Coast

To set standard 4xAA in these applications, please set 4xAA in the game, and
also enable “Enhance the application” antialiasing mode with a 4x
antialiasing setting in the NVIDIA graphics driver control panel.

We are working with developers to implement better in-game CSAA
support. You can see CSAA menu selections in Half Life 2: Episode One and
Supreme Commander.

Re: ATTENTION Geforce 8800 & Windows Vista owners

I am running both of those, and thanks, I'll go a check this out. Only thing is though, I have no problems or issues playing Battlefield 2. It runs great, and so does Vista. I did have problems when I had Vista 32 and not enough Ram. But, now I am running Vista 64 and plenty of Ram ...system and game, run like a top. Hmmmmm..ok, I'll have to look into this.
