I have heard/seen here/read ATI cards decribed as performingAA 2x ( or maybe even 4x ) with same performance as GF4-ti4600 running w/o AA. So does that mean if I use GF4-ti4600 w/ AA 2x then I wouldsee and increase in FPS useing an ATI-9700 w/ AA 2x ? It stands to reason doesn't it?Anyone want to commment.Thanks,- MylesAMD 2000XP (1.66ghz ),512MB-PC2100,GF4-ti4600Running FS2002 with virtually all sliders full right 100 %and happy with it except maybe at night at simflyer airports.Using AA 2x and AF 4 tap.Gearing up for FS2004 and contemplating going to an ATI video card as my only $ allowable upgrade.

Myles --Yes, ATI has the better(read faster, and better looking) AA. Because it is faster, that means you can turn up the AA more than on an nVidia card without suffering too much performance degredation. Oh, and BTW it looks better too :DIf you want to upgrade your videocard, then there is no question in my mind, get an ATI.

I wouldn't count on much, if any, of an FPS increase at the same level of AA. You're pretty much CPU-limited. The 2000XP isn't driving the 4600 at it's maximum capability now. What you can count on with the 9700, though, are higher levels of AA without the big framerate drop of the 4600.Doug
