Default problem with my 8800GT XT

Since I am new here I don’t know if I posted this in the right place….If I didn’t I am sorry
But I am having a problem with my 8800GT XT alpha dog ed. On some “internet based games” like eveonline for ex as well as TF2 and others. For some reason in these games the people buildings or what have you seem to have a “stair step edged” I and I have my card set on the highest possible settings I don’t know what to make of it I have updated the drivers changed the game res done it all and for some reason nothing happens. To me it is like the antialasing is not working on those types of games for some reason…..needless to say I am stumped as to what to do….I was hoping someone here may have some suggestions for me because at this point im getting flustrated with it
Thanks
