Default what exactly is 4Xaa/8Xaf?
sorry I know I got two questions up here..its just I'm confused..in ALL the tests and reviews I read I always see the resolution 1600/1200 with the aa and the af's my question is can you even enable AA, or AF with the 1280/1000 resolution? or do you have to have at least 1600/1200?

AA but for Ati its different, its called Anti - Sampling (Takes Jaggyness away) 16x Anastrophic Filtering lets you see stuff from far away so it doesn't look as much like clay .

but will I be able to use it with only a 1280/1000 res? or will I need to buy a monitor that at least supports up to 1600/1200 to take advantage of AA?

1280x1024 with 4/6x Anti Sampling - 16x AF is the best, I hate 1600x1200 sometimes, makes games look to much like clay almost, well almost
