    Do you think the wavy line issue will be fixed via driver updates?

    I'm really thinking of just returning this thing now.

    I've been using ATI Tray Tools to force Vsync, but I'll give this a go if I get a chance.

    I don't know, if it bothers you a lot just return it. For the few games I get it in, I just turn on triple buffered vsync and it works great. Check out this article about triple buffering: http://www.anandtech.com/show/2794

    Wow! There goes my only reason for preferring Nvidia video cards (well, except PhysX, but that isn't that important).

    RadeonPro is just like nHancer, but for AMD/ATi cards. It even allows setting FSAA compatibility profiles! No more renaming executables to bioshock.exe or UT3.exe!

    Now I can finally ditch my Nvidia cards on my desktop (well, I'll keep one as dedicated PhysX card) and get an AMD/ATi card for as well. That Radeon 5970 4GB (2x2GB) beast sounds too nice to pass up all of a sudden. I guess I'll allow one of my old GTX 285 cards to stay and work PhysX and CUDA for me. Too bad my laptop doesn't have a slot for a dedicated Nvidia PhysX card. :)

    Maybe you should add to the original post that you can force FSAA in games that don't support Anti-Aliasing with RadeonPro and there is no need to rename .exe files anymore. That's one of the main benefits of this program in my book. ;)
