    I have i5-2500k OC'd to 4.3 and a Nvidia EVGA GTX560 Ti Superclocked Edition 900mhz. I don't use windower, really don't want to, can I max out the AA settings?

    I've maxed out Anti Aliasing on a much less powerful system. You should be fine.

    Here is an example pic of my Miqo'te, with no AA, and then with 16xQ MSAA turned on. See how all the edges with no AA are extremely jagged, and with max settings, its all but gone w/ smooth and rounded edges...

    Inflates the user's ego! That's what all the settings do.

    Surprised people don't try the recommended settings of 1280x720 w/ 4xAA. I'm able to turn everything up to high and get a frame rate around 20FPS (that's with AO enabled). It's perfectly playable at this frame rate.

    Here's a brief capture of the game running...

    oh a few things have changed

    I play at 1920x1080 with a Radeon HD 6850 and cpu overclocked from 3.4 to 3.6

    fps is usually always really smooth, though I dont know the exact amount.
