okay, if you guys want to side with a guy that thinks you can damage your computer from turning on AA in the drivers, that's fine by me .

I never said that I was agreeing with him (frankly, the idea that turning on a standard feature on your graphics card will destroy it is very silly.)

I was just correcting your statement that 500% was impossible.

why would an SCP error be considered as news? :wtf: *smacks Cobra*It's a feature.

 
I set the refresh rate on my monitor to 500%---once.

 
Ouch. Lag-a-licious.

I was kidding.  ;)

But that's about the only way to burn up a monitor I know of. The other is setting the resolution too high.

The monitor will fry though.

 
There's more conventional methods too...

But AA doesn't really do much. You either have a high-resolution-capable graphics card, or you have a lower-resolution-capable graphics card that can't handle the AA...

Maybe a variation on the etherkiller?

nVidia's control panel or Catalyst by Radeon will allow you to force AA and AF... I run the game's AF at 2x and I have AA turned to 1x (some games of mine complain way too much, such as The Sims 2).
I know, it isn't even funny how ludicrous the frame-kill is when you move the anti-aliasing even a single notch...
