"geez, let's stay to the facts and that is that currently NO card can run HL2 in AA mode!"
Obviously.
"ok, let's repeat it slowly. Centroid sampling is part of DX9.1 and it's currently unknown when DX9.1 is going to be released. This means that MS should have made centroid sampling mandatory in DX9.0 to circumvent this problem and not offer a feature in DX9.0 which will break AA and then offer a fix for it in DX9.1 when it already should have been part of the previous version.
Nvidia cannot be blamed for not implementing centroid sampling because it was not required. DX9.1 offers many new features which currently no cards support so you cannot really make ATI or nvidia guilty of not implementing them. BTW, both ATI and nvidia offer different features which are not yet part of DX9.0 but will be in the next revision. It's not that ATI is the only one with DX9.0+ hardware!"
Yes, and that's why I said it's too bad Nvidia failed to implement that feature when ATi had it over a year ago on their R300 chip.
I was looking forward to purchasing an FX.
"I don't think that ATI will release a driver which fixes this issue since it will be a time consuming process to fix it"
I doubt that.
