FSAA is not selectable from inside 3DMark2001 SEs Display Settings. Why?

There are two different types of FSAA techniques: super-sampling and multi-sampling. DX8 supports multi-sampling. GeForce/2 support only super-sampling. As per DirectX 8 specifications, NVIDIA has not exposed super-sampling FSAA in their D3D driver and therefore you can not choose FSAA from 3DMark2001 SE’s Display Settings. Update: It seems that with the leaked Detonator drivers 10.80 or higher versions, you can choose the FSAA from 3DMark2001 SE even with a GeForce 256 or GeForce2 which both do not support multi-sampling FSAA. You need to choose the “Allow applications to control the antialiasing mode” selection in your display properties. For AMD Athlon and GeForce related crashes: With the VIA chipset, goto VIAs website , and download the latest AGP miniport drivers and change the AGP bus settings from your BIOS to 2X. With the AMD chipset get the latest AGP miniport driver from AMD’s website, config, and always use the latest drivers for your GeForce card.
