Can anybody tell me how to enable FSAA in games? My 17" iMac has a GeForce 4 MX so the hardware should support it.

    Are you sure a 4 MX will do FSAA? I am pretty sure it won't, but what do I know... If it can and is an OEM card, the only way I know to do it is if there are specific options in-game. Retail cards come with a control panel which allows you to set specific FSAA levels for individual apps (a nice reason to get a retail card BTW).

    He can't have a retail card, because it's an iMac. The "card" isn't even a card, it's just a chipset built into the motherboard.



    My guess is you can't enable FSAA unless the game you're playing has an option for it. I'm not even sure there are any Mac utilities or control panels for retail cards - I know PC cards come with them but I'm not so sure for Macs (I've always bought used graphics cards).

    Showing an ATI dialog to a geForceMX owner doesn't help a whole lot.

    Does this software come with the G5 or is it only available with retail GPU's ?

    It comes with the retail version of the card - I doubt it would work on the OEM version, but it might be interesting to see...

    Of course, I meant if it was included if I chose the BTO Radeon 9800 Pro
