    What game are you talking about? Does it have in game AA settings? If not, have you tried forcing AA in CCC?

    Can you name a game? How do you know AA is not working? Did you compare screenshots with AA/AA off side by side? What resolution are you playing at?

    If you are playing at high resolutions like 1920x1080, AA ain't exactly that noticeable, this is especially true for some games, basically the higher resolution, the lesser graphical benefit AA can produce.

    To force AA in CCC, open CCC and look for something called "3d settings" or "game settings", there you can manually set AA for all of your games.

    What do you mean " it doesn't work?" Do you see the AA settings in game at all or not? You are giving too little info to allow others to help.

    Maybe you can capture screenshots with AA and another with AA off? Compare them and see if you can spot any difference?

    And I trust you have the latest drivers installed? It's mobility 11.8 in case you don't know.

    antialia-ZING!

    heh.

    what AA level did you have set in those pictures? Set AA to 8x or 16x if it's supported. make sure the CCC doesn't have AA manually set to "off". Take another round of pictures. Keep them at full resolution.

    No change in performance doesn't indicate a problem by itself.
