Hey I didn't realize that you could specify the filter.....hmm....I may just set the filter to narrow tent (or higher...) and see what's up. I think Bioshock takes a performance hit with AA even though it's not supported....however I have no proof of this.

Still in alpha. As soon as a client hits Stanford's website you can be assured that I'll update the thread :P

I can't get 3dmark06 to run on Vista.....it keeps saying that 'openAL32.dll was not found. Re-installing this application may fix this problem.'
I've tried reinstalling several times......doesn't matter. Any ideas?
