what about make it work at x8
it has a value of x8 and you only see the x2
so its broken ..;-)

Correct.

X4 and X8 are a placebo.

Yes, at the moment. I think it is reasonable to assume that they are meant to work but, like much of the rest of the interface at release, are bugged. Hopefully they will be fixed at some point for increased FSAA.

ok so i have bad image on screen with my gtx 580

here is my config. can anyone see if I should chage something to see if I can improve the poor image quality?

I am running latest nvidia drivers, default settings.

They need to remove the FSAA then and put in selective object AA or a mixture of both. Really some level of FSAA or variation thereof is needed (there are many ways to do it, like rendering a fram at high resolution then shrinking it for display, or blending instead etc). Kinda sad that it isnt in the game.

Any idea why that could be the case?

something to do with the full screen problems?

Oh btw it isnt a issue with nvidia drivers that are the problem.

If you have a LCD and 1600x900 is not the native resolution then try to switch the resolution to your monitors native resolution.

Are you sure? I turned off AA in-game and set AAx4, AFx16 in my Nvidia Settings and it seemed to improve. Unless I'm deluding myself (which wouldn't be the first time, ask my first wife!).

GTX570 btw.

'scuse my ignorance but what's the difference between AA and FSAA?
