Ok, I found this and just wanted to punch someone.

Am I off my rocker or is that statemet completely false? Just want to make sure I'm not going crazy... :?
I mean, I know Oblivion is an exception, but seriously...

As far as i knew... It was only in Oblivion that N.Cards couldn't run both AA and HDR. But i suppose i was wrong... WHICH SUCKS! WHY?!?!?

This will probably be fixed in newer cards and my 6600GT can't even run at respectable framerates with both enabled. But this really sucks for people with 7 series cards.

No, I don't think this quote from ExtremeTech is accurate. There are plenty of benchmarks run on games (like HL2 Lost Coast and Serious Sam 2) iwth AA on and HDR enabled...
Unless someone can show me that AA and HDR are not possible together on any 6 or 7 series nVidia card (other than Oblivion).
