    Has anyone successfully forced anti-aliasing with a Radeon card in Diablo 3? If so, how did you do it? I find the in-game AA makes the game too blurry for my taste.

    the in game AA selection is FXAA, which is junk, so leave it "off" just like you are doing.

    for AMD (ATI) - you should be able to simply open the driver control panel, and force AA "on". Uncheck "use application settings" for AntiAliasing. Leave morphological filtering unchecked. leave the filter on "box". set the slider to whatever you want: 2x, 4x, or 8x.

    Tried that and the settings just aren't being applied to the game. Morphological filtering does apply, but this is a post process so that's to be expected.

    Just tried it. Provides the same results as the CCC morphological filtering which distorts the text. Guess we'll just have to wait for an update from ATI and/or Blizzard.
