Radeon 9x00 series, anyone have one?
   

I have been playing the demo for a while and have been experimenting with different settings on my R8500 to see what will give me the best performance and visual quality for gothic 2; and I have come to the conclusion that AA definently makes the game look better, but it seriously hurts perfomance. So my question is, what kind of performance do you get with AA/AF enabled, and does it make much of a difference in visual quality/performance?
I am seriusly considering upgrading my video card but am cuious as to what kind of a change I could expect. Also, if anyone could take a screenshot of a place that shows off AA's effect on whole environment, I would really appreciate it.

Thats what i found , written from Piranha Bytes in the Gothic.ini.

The radeon 9700 has known problems with accessing the ambient lightning on a per object base, thus using the above "zSyncAmbientCol"
; Feature automatically. By activating the workaround for this card, performance may drop about 10%. Fullscene antialiasing does not work
; fast enough on this card until ATI fixes the ambient col driver bug.
; if you set this setting to "0" and no object lightning flickering occurs, ATI has probably managed to fix the problem and you may enable antialiasing

I use the Radeon 9700 Pro , and Gothic runs in 1280x1024/32Bit WITHOUT FSAA smooth like silk and it looks fantastic!!
