So after banging my head for a while, I realized that Civ 5 REQUIRES DirectX11 to be installed even if your card supports DirectX10 only. The only way you will get DirectX10 support is to install Directx11.
For Vista users:
1. Make sure you have SP2.
2. Once you have Service Pack 2 look at optional updates and download Windows Platform Update (this has DirectX11).
3. Restart computer.
4. Use Steam or DIY and update your video drivers to the latest version.
4. On restart run the demo again and it should now give you the choice to run in DirectX 10 and 11. (Anti-Aliasing will now be selectable in game).
I really hope this helps some people.
