Anyhow, finally got around to upgrading to Win7 from XP (was happy on XP - did all I needed it to do) and had to go thru a few hurdles to get proper rendering for NWN. Note to other using ATI cards (I have a 6850), the out of the box ATI drivers for Win7 use an emulation library for OpenGL thru DirectX. So if you use a tool like ATI Tray Tools to set AA/AF, then you have to set them for DirectX and not OpenGL to see the effect.
Sidetracked.....onto gmax
gmax also had some rendering issues with odd artifacts and flickering and other such oddities. Found out from this thread: www.turbosquid.com/Forum/Index.cfm/stgAct/PostList/intThreadID/20671 that gmax can be configured to use different hardware drivers (or software mode if all else fails) for rendering the viewports. I switched from OpenGL rendering to DirectX and it cleared up all my issues.
Hopefully this helps if anyone has these same issues with gmax. I would hazard a guess that the same setting options for viewport rendering exist in the full version of Max as well.
