Can it be done? With the patch and selecting fsaa in 3d setup the jaggies
are still in the game!!?? Am i missing something? Geforce2 Mx 32Mb here. I
know i can't get a decent fps on that card with fsaa on but what about those
GF3 owners? I think F1 2001 could use some fsaa!!!

Going from memory here so I could be completely wrong, but the readme for
the patch said something like you can select fsaa but if you are running 32
bit mode it won't apply. Or 16 bit mode. Or something ... :)

Anyway if you haven't done so already, check the readme file - it has a big
section on fsaa.

From the dev update readme.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Here is a complete summary of the benefits of this update:

        Improved graphics performance in general on all video cards.

        Issues that seriously impacted performance and/or caused mirrors
to be displayed incorrectly on certain nVIDIA Geforce 2 and 3 based video
cards using the latest (21.83) official WHQL certified drivers have been
resolved.

      We recommend all Geforce users to upgrade to the aforementioned
drivers, which can be found at www.nvidia.com.

Whilst we recommend Geforce users to upgrade to the aforementioned 21.83
drivers, we are aware that certain issues with regards to Full Scene Anti
Aliasing (FSAA) support as detailed below are unresolved at this time.
Please note the following with regards to FSAA support for nVIDIA Geforce
cards that support this feature and F1 2001.

        It is possible to run F1 2001 in any of the 16 bit modes with FSAA
enabled as detailed below.

        It is not possible to run F1 2001 in any 32 bit display mode with
FSAA enabled. F1 2001 runs perfectly fine but FSAA does not get applied
regardless of it being forced within the Detonator application as detailed
below.

        FSAA support should not be enabled using the advanced options of
the F1 2001 3D Setup/F1 Config program. This may cause F1 2001 to function
incorrectly, forcing you to reset your machine.

      In summary, to run F1 2001 with FSAA support, ensure that F1 2001 is
configured to use          a 16 bit display mode using the F1 3D Setup/F1
Config program and then set FSAA mode       to be enabled by default on your
video card using the Detonator application as follows:

          Open the 'Display Properties' options and click the 'Settings'
tab.

          Click the 'Advanced' button located near the lower right corner
of the 'Display         Properties' panel which will open the 'nVIDIA
Geforce 3 Properties' options.

          Click the 'Geforce 3' tab.

          Click the 'Additional Properties' button near the lower left
corner of the 'nVIDIA

              Geforce 3 Properties' options.

          Click the button to 'Manually select the antialiasing mode'.

          Click the level of antialiasing you want (2x, Quincunx (3x) or
4x.

          Now click the 'OK' button, until you exit the 'Display
Properties' options.

      nVIDIA, EA and ISI are aware of the issues with regards to FSAA as
detailed above and            are working to resolve them. These issues may
however not be resolved in full until the             next official release
of the Detonator application.

FSAA with a GF2 MX? Good luck. Save yourself the framerates and push the
resolution up a notch.

Do not select it in the 3D setup. Select it in your desktop properties. I
selected 4X FSAA in the 3D setup on my R8500 and it locked up my computer.
