lol no your wrong and right. ati cards currently do not have a driver that doesnt make the shadows look like **** player shadows mostly. so thats about it.

Actually that is incorrect. Catlysts 5.8 which were released about 1 week ago, fix this problem.

Re: Jagged Shadows.... any ideas?

Sucks for you. My X850XT PE shows them correctly with 5.8.

I will assume you properly installed the drivers?

And I pray you aren't talking to me $G-Money....

Re: Jagged Shadows.... any ideas?

Those of you claiming to have perfect shadows, post a screenshot of the same thing I did, and prove it. My friend bought a new 7800 GTX, and his shadows look like crap too. I would love to see what they're supposed to look like.

Re: Jagged Shadows.... any ideas?

As you wish.....

All settings on high, no AA or AF applied. I usually play with Ultra-high, and AA set to 4.

Re: Jagged Shadows.... any ideas?

None of those screenshots have a close up of the shadows on a vehicle. My shadows look perfect too from 15ft away.. How about more shots like you see below..

They aren't "perfect" but nothing is without AA:

KingOfKhaos your 4th pic (2nd of the helis) has got jagged shadows.
I have them too, driver 7.7.7.7 (463/1260), i can benchmark nearly 12000 on 3dmark05.
Vehicle shadows seem to be the worst.

I agree.. I am not going to update any of my hardware, until that patch is released. Hopefully they'll fix alot of what is bugging us..

Those look alot nicer than mine, but as you said, still not perfect as they should be..

here are what mine look like.

Re: Jagged Shadows.... any ideas?

I don't think perfect dynamic shaows are expected without AA. Because the game will cast a shadow reading data from the model. Thus if the model has jaggies, the shadow will too. A simple fix is to put 2xAA. It smooths the shadows out very nicely. I run 4xAA and my game looks great.
