The thing about AA is that it will use a ton more video memory.  The more smoothing done requires multiple textures to be drawn.  

As for Anisotropic Filtering, Skuzzy has said it does nothing for AH and said to leave it disabled.  But I have it set for 4x anyway.

What brand/model video card do you have?  Have the latest drivers installed?

Make sure you're setting Direct3D AA and not OpenGL.

Right click desktop > properties > Settings > advanced > (For ATI cards) Advanced 3D tab > Full Screen Anti Aliasing...

Amount of vidmem required varies directly  with resolution and amount of AA.  I think the max AA at 1280x1024 is only 6x, while the max at 1024x768 is 8x.  

Dunno about your system, but give it a whirl.  If it chokes, tune it down a notch.

Just set it to application control.  AH will leave it off by default.  Some people can run it and it doesnt hurt, but others (like me) have some serious instability issues when using it in AH (doesnt happen all the time either).

Vsync matches your frame rates to your monitor's refresh rate (or tries to anyway).  It should be on.

I could be mistaken but I think the 4xS is a nvidia, proprietary setting for anti-aliasing. If it's what I'm thinking of it's what they suggest you use.

and wow talk about a difference it made.

smooth as a baby's butt now

give it a whirl


thats wierd 6x should kill your fps...sounds like 6x is also disabled, as it needs too much memory..........

i know some people found this with HL2, they couldnt run at x2, but x6 was really fast....but they didnt relise it had been forced to x0 since it had run out of memory.

Nvidia guys, your control panel may look something like this:
