Doesn't work. I tried it and Oblivion ignores the forced AA.

I thought they didn't allow you to enable both at the same time no matter what? Or was that HL? Anyways you may need to look up some kind of .ini configuration or player mod.

Half-Life Episode 1 lets you have HDR and AA on at the same time. It's Oblivion that's a ***** when it comes to AA + HDR. It's like Bethesda intentionally coded Oblivion for the PC so that we can't have HDR and AA no matter what. You can have HDR and AA if you use a tweak for ATI cards, though.

Don't even need the tweak anymore, the latest Catalyst drivers support HDR & AA enabled at the same time. I thought Nvidia was doing the same with their new line of cards, but I might be wrong....

There's something called chuck's patch, it was made to enable HDR and FSAA on ATI X1000+, i don't if it works with the 8800 but you can give give a try.

You have to use a tweak for ATI cards?:| Didn't they say that ATI cards can do HDR and AA at the same time while Nvidia cards couldn't?  They said that the new Nvidia cards(GeForce8800) can do HDR and AA at the same time. Is it just in Oblivion?

But i've read on many online articles that with the 8800's you can enable both...... i've tried that forcing crap but no result.  I have done soo much research on trying to find out how to enable both but i haven't gotten any answers yet.  ATI can do it with the chunk patch but why not Nvidia?

Of course it can enable both... You have to turn the AA off in oblivion and put HDR on then goto nvidia control panel and put on AA with override. Its sooo easy, Now its smoother than any console.

i'm guessing you have 2 8800's and you tried this and it works for you?  Because i tried it and it doesn't work for me..... it over rides it

Exactly what I've said all along. People need to actually try forcing AA themselves before they tell us it works.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you needed an Oblivion mod to do this.

I'm not going to stop until i get this to work.  Okay, lets take this one step at a time.  FOR ALL OF YOU WHO GOT THIS TO WORK.... step me thought it ONE STEP AT A TIME.  I have all the new drivers, game is patched.  What I've tried is, going into the nvidia control panel and selected "Advanced 3D Image Settings" then i found Oblivion in the list.  I added it.  Then all i did was change the AA from "Application preference" to override and 8x.  Saved and done.  Opened Oblivion, turned HDR ON and AA OFF.  Start playing and i notice that AA is non existent.  So now, you tell me (please) how to PROPERLY do it so i can play this ****** game with HDR and AA enabled.

Why don't you just bump the resolution up to 1600x1200 or beyond with HDR and forget about AA? At those resolution even on a 21+ inch you won't need AA unless you have godlike vision.

Thats wrong bc i tried that and you can tell (no doubt about it) by looking at distant buildings as well as looking at the ropes from the ships in the harbors in Anvil and Imperial City.  Extreme staircase effect which pisses me off, i have the resolution jacked up to 1920x1440 + HDR and you can tell the difference between 1920x1440 + Bloom + AA 8 Samples.

Source is not real HDR. ITs based to be able to be run on SM2.0 cards.
