ATI has released new drivers for the HD 5870 that are specific to this card. The Catalyst drivers on their website have the name HD 5870 drivers and are a little different than the standard drivers ATI offers for their cards. The 3D submenu allows you to change the AA setting, the AA Mode, the AF, and the MipMap settings. The AA Mode is where you determine if you want to use Multi-sampling or Super-Sampling on the anti-aliasing.
