Just FYI, I loaded the latest from ATI and was able to get in-game options FSAA to x4 without a black screen, at 1600x1200 and 85 refresh rate. The last version (I just removed them) of the drivers allowed x2, but higher on lower resolutions (x4 with 1024x768 120rr). This is with all other graphics options turned on to full except for distance viewing and water effects and no bloom (I dont like bloom *shrug*).

I'll have to look at the CC again but with previous version even with 2g of memory I was noticing performance issues that varied by the game I happened to be running.

Radeon 1300 here. Just wanted to point out that I get the best results by installing the drivers but NOT INSTALLING THE ATI COMMAND CONSOLE, and I just let CoX control the settings. If I leave off water effects and distance viewing, I can use the FSAA setting in options with a noticeable result (x2 at 1600x1200, x4 for 1024x768), which have to be reset everytime you restart CoX. It will also make your comp run faster, because all of the crap the CCC runs on your memory is no longer there. Oh, and I make sure that the game resolution matched my desktop, so I control that from Windows.

I think throwing off the "leveling-curve" is a good point.

It only (directly) affects me when they end up in my team not knowing how to play the game and/or their character. I've met many people in the twenties that didn't know how to use the team roster. I met a kineticist (controller) that insisted on keeping repel on all of the time, and complained about not getting healed (I was also playing a kineticist).
