Anti Aliasing not available on Radeon 5800??

I have an ATI Radeon 5850 graphics card.... one of the most powerful cards there is at the moment. But looking in the video options it says AA is not available with the current GPU??

Is this a bug? Is it going to be resolved for launch? I can't believe a high end card like the 5850 isn't capable of anti aliasing....

    I think it had to do with a graphical glitch related to AA which obviously has'nt been fixed.

    AA on ATI cards was disabled because of it, but works fine on Nvidia cards

    Yeah, having the same issue, I hate those jaggies! Also, I noticed when warping in and out, there's just a bunch of specks that go with me. I think this is supposed to be the warp star slide effect, but that doesn't seem to work right. Also the tatoos and markings on characters have depth like scars and are not flat. Planets (like the one you see behind character creation) have very strange "indentations" on the surface. Seems like a problem with bump mapping? Can anyone confirm for ATI hardware or is it just me? I have latest ATI drivers.

    Anti-Aliasing is currently disabled for ATI cards due to a bug of some kind. It will be put back shortly. And yess the Jaggies are gross looking.

    Forcing AA in Catalyst control works fine for me.

    Forcing it in CCC has no effect for me, like a few other posters have said as well. How did you go about doing it so that it actually takes effect for you?

    now you mention it I have the specks as well, like you i thought it was just really odd looking warp effect. These issues prob wont be fixed for a week or so as they are doing the stress testing stuff atm

    nvidia is having issues with #sto too. I am going to upgrade to an ATI card in the near future. I've compared and ATI has the definite edge right now. If you want to have the best experience in STO, right now its with ATI cards. The AA problem is being fixed.
