This is mainly for people with the GTX8800 and a decent rig (which it should be if you got that gfx card) I dont know if this will work for other cards.
After a bit of fidling around I got 16X AA and HDR to work together perfectly.
First thing is download that nHancer tool.
Select EVE in the list so your changing settings for this game profile only not globally.
Under enhancments tick AA and select coverage sample 16X. (tried 16XQ it didnt work and game crashed)
Tick gamma correction and super tranparancy AA.
16 X anisotropic filtering can also be selected.
Under optimizations tab leave all unticked.
In the compatibility tab tick AA compatability and choose Oblivion AA & HDR
Tick HDR and select enable.
Close this tool now.
In EVE settings:
Shadows - set this to high (extreme would crash the game when it started with the oblivion compatability, and anyway it eats a lot of fps)
You can max HDR + bloom (high)
Cache (Extreme)
A good way to tell if your getting AA is the planet on the log-in screen (it should be nice and smooth with no jaggies if its working.
Anyway I went to Jitas main trade hub to test fps, I was getting lows of 20 highs of 70. Inside stations it is 90-100 fps.
On extreme shadows and HDR + high bloom with no AA was getting fps lows of 7 outside the station at jita.
Hope this helps someone at least.
HDR and no jaggies with decent FPS ..im a happy bunny tonight :)

Ok with a bit more testing it seems Extreme Shadows was not causing the crash so that setting is fine if you want to enable it.
What is definatly causing the crash is coverage sample AA 16XQ so make sure you use the 16X or lower.

Loving the visuals too
Have you noticed a strange graphical glitch when you exit a stargate?
I get these strange white boxes flashing all over my cloaked raven, they disapear when I start to move and the gate cloak wears off (love the new de-cloaking effect btw).
I found out high bloom setting was causing this, normal was ok it fixed the glitch.

yeah this is working indeed, however only in fullscreen mode. Anyone able to get it running in window mode as well?
I have fiddled around I cant get AA and HDR to work together in windowed mode. Anyone else had any luck?

do you have to disable the nvidia control panel before letting enhancer do its job ??
Nope, it seems to automaticaly take over the nvidia control panel settings, also the settings are immediate as soon as you select them, you dont even have to click apply or anything, I keep it active in my taskbar (as it takes time to load up each time).

i also have this problem, but setting bloom to low didnt solve it for me :( (you sure you set yours to "normal"? i have no normal setting, just none/low/high) setting bloom to none did fix it, but took away precious bloom :(
btw, Commander Prishe, i tried 16xQ and it did seem to work without the game crashing.. dunno if you can improve on anything knowing that
edit:
wonderful guide btw, i had heard the 8xxx could support aa+hdr but never knew how to do it before :)
Yeah sorry not normal bloom I meant none. hehe I havent disabled it either I can live with the glitch, I love my bloom to much
16XQ AA definatly crashes for me even if I change to it while im ingame, I would like it to work though Im always one to try and get the max visual's settings possible (which is why we purchased these powerful cards).

With nHancer's EVE profile running per this thread my computer crashes and restarts after running EVE for about 10 mins, even just sitting in a station the whole time. Windows consistently blames it on nVidia. I even got my first BSoD in Vista (32 bit ultimate) because of this. I installed the latest update from the nVidia website dated 6 Dec, but it still happens. I'm running 2 8800 GTXs in SLi. Any ideas?
Not sure really, im on vista 64 bit home premium and running one GTX8800, I'll get my second sometime next year when the 9xxx series cards come out and high end 8xxxx series cards lower in price. Could be an SLI problem, idk if its supported in trinity yet.
