I had an ATI x700Pro and used Omega drivers. I play World of Warcraft. The rgaphics were absolutely amazing, not one single jagged edge, and 60+ FPS. However, the fan was so dang annoying on it, I bought a new HIS Radeon x800xl. I use the brand new Omega drivers, and for some reason the edges are all jagged. I've tried adjusting the in-game setting, and the Omega settings. Nothing seems to affect the edges. I think the game isn't getting the Omega settings for some reason. Any advice? Thanks :santa:

Jagged edges are related to the screen resolution. If you run 800x600 screen resolution, the image is 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels tall. The pixels will be 4x as large as if you run 1600x1200. Less pixels = larger blocks.

A setting in your drivers that helps get rid of jaggies too, is Anti-Alaising. It really kills performance usualy, but in a game like World of Warcraft, I don't think it will be an issue.

Also, you could have saved yourself some money and done this: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=404922

EDIT: What video card did you have before? You likely could have gotten rid of the jaggies with it too, just by adjusting a the resolution in game.
