Hi guys,
After read this article "A way to enable adaptive anti-aliasing in the last Catalyst drivers" in
www.rage3d.com and made some tests these are my impressions with SH3: this feature introduce a great visual improvement in SH3 (specially at harbours) for the ATi Radeons owners. I'm using the Cat 5.9 with the last release of the Ati Tray tools which already incorporate this new optional adaptive AA. Until now this feature was only present in Nvidia 7800 and old 3Dfx cards. Here the link for the entire article

This new feature makes AA on the alpha textures. The Visual are the same that old 3Dfx 5500...awesome!
Here the pics (X800XtPE) . Note the jags on the cranes even with 4AA/8AF . (The day light is no intentional - AAA = Adaptive AA):
