Help!! 8800GTX antialiasing isn't working in hl2!?

[Antin00b]

K so heres my problem:
When I try to play Half Life 2, the antialiasing doesn't work no matter what I try!

First off, in hl2, it will only allow up to 6x MSAA (is that normal or not?)
I've tried in on 2x, 4x, and 6x, and neither does anything.

Then I've tried forcing AA with the nvidia driver thing, and that doesn't do anything either!

AA in CSS goes up to 16xQ and works fine,
AA in HL2: Deathmatch goes up to 8x, and works fine!

Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix this?
Is there ANYTHING i can do to get antialiasing to work? All the 'jaggies' are annoying me lol!

Wouldn't surprise me if that'd be your problem. Got the latest drivers?

I thought the nVidia cards were unable to use HDR and Anti-Aliasing at the same time? But that may be a deficiency from the 7xxx series and lower.

Yes the 8800s can do that just fine. And there's no HDR in HL2

Yep i've got the latest drivers and everything. I've also tried turning HDR and bloom and all that other stuff off and it still doesn't do anything.

Any other ideas?

You'll probably have to force it using Nhancer, as it has options for this sort of thing IIRC.
