The DXTweaker allows Radeon-Users using up to 4xOGSSAA under Windows! Due to Radeon's hardware-limitations it's only possible up to 1024x768, but still a big improvement I think. Furthermore SSAA-Support is currently limited to applications that make use of DX8 or higher. DX7 is in development. But the tweaker is able to do many more things, Alpha-Test-AA for example.Very nice thing in my opinion. ATi doesn't include SSAA to their drivers, so nonatainment did.
