It "just works" on Radeon 5xxx and 6xxx series cards, and apparently some with 4850s have gotten it to work as well.

A test comparison under Dolphin and PCSX2 can be found here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=24032078&postcount=588

edit: by the way, it looks like a bag of dicks on 2D objects.

thats an implementation flaw, there is a form of this in a modified Petes Soft plugin without these issues.

hmhm, hard decision...naah, I'll just take MLAA + 9x SSAA then Tongue

9xSSAA is a waste of resources.

Hate to sound like a douche but you didn't read through the thread before posting did you? As has been mentioned several times in pages 3-5 it only works with dx9 games at the moment or dx10/11 games running with dx9.

Agreed. The only time I ever, in my entire life, needed to use that many ssaa samples was with eve online.

Caught red-handed. I skimmed through the thread, but I missed the one concrete post saying the driver is out. In my defense, discussion over what AMD's implementation supports doesn't imply that it's publicly available.

I already said it but I'll say it again. MLAA works wonders with some games but not with others. It depends on how much contrast their is between the objects in a scene. Has anyone managed to figure out yet why it only works with d3d9 despite the fact that it's a post-processing effect that uses direct compute 11? *stares directly at squall*
