Mine doesn't but I think most card support it. P3D used to have smoothing but I think it got taken out because it never looked right with polygons..

What you need is FSAA (Full Screen Anti Aliasing) which can most times be enabled via the display properties by right-clicking on the desktop. Programmatically, use glEnable(GL_MULTISAMPLE_ARB); .rex
