Special pixel shader effects (like bloom) do not work with AA. For example, in World of Warcraft if you enable the bloom effect ("full screen glow effect") it will automatically disable the AA. The same thing in EverQuest 2 - the two options do not work together.

I read somewhere that this is because they both use the same buffer. I also read that when enabling both you can get graphical problems, so they were disabled.

Is there a way to enable both somehow? Is it a hardware problem, or a driver problem? Will there be a software solution for this? Is there something I can do now about it? Basically I like the bloom effect better, but the jaggies disturb me as well.
