NVidia Anti-Aliasing Guide (updated)

Does that override the AA they are using in game when enabling post-processing? I am guessing it's FXAA.

Maybe can you post your inspector settings?

 

It seems to work. but it causes a massive performance penalty and a 1-2 pixel wide border along the top and left edges of the screen. Looks like it is offsetting a layer of post processing or something. Not an idea solution. Any alternatives? I got SMAA and FXAA working, but they don't appear to do much if anything.

 

First thing I did was disable the incredibly awful post processing. Trust me it looks MUCH better with it off.

I'll take a SS of the settings when I get home.

From memory though, it's override. The stalker profile, and then for transparency I just used the multisample one and not the supersample.

 

I think post-processing fits the environment better. It's a bit crazy with the bloom but it looks good.

Is there a way to get better AA with post processing turned on?

 

Ok I'm doing more testing to try to figure this out for Amalur. I've disabled post processing and am basically going through the existing compatibility bits listed in nvinspector 1 by 1 looking for patterns that might lead to a solution since I have no idea how the bits actually work.

edit: erased my findings, borders persisted with more testing.

 

Did some more testing on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Came up with 0x200032C1 which applies AA and seems to eliminate the borders on the sides of the screen. Can anyone else confirm it works with no ill effects?

Edit ok weird situation here. The above bits provides no borders using 4x MSAA. Drop down to 2x MSAA and the top border reappears. Interesting. Back to testing I guess.

0x000012C1 OGSS (2x2 Supersampling) seems to work with slightly better performance then MSAA flag and 4xMSAA above. Again can anyone confirm?

EDIT 2:

Been playing with 0x000012C1 and using 1x2 SSAA with post processing enabled in game. Looks pretty clean, if not a bit blurred bur I seem to be able to pull 60fps solid @ 1920x1080. Don't quite have the performance to go 2x2 SSAA or 4xMSAA. These flags work, but suck performance wise.

 

So what you are saying is 0x200032C1 is for 4xMSAA, 0x000012C1 is for OGSS and SSAA?

 

To get it working w/ post processing turned on are you setting AA to Override or Enhance? Or nothing?

 

Yes those are my findings thus far. I don't have a decent working solution for 2x MSAA nor have I found any better performing flags.

Override

 

Yeah, there is too much of a performance hit. 4xMSAA brings me to 50 fps on dual GTX 580's. Supersampling 2x1 is tolerable but it isn't a solid 60 fps all the time.

Hopefully someone will find something better.

 

I agree, performance wise these flags are not ideal. I doubt Nvidia will introduce anything since the game has in-game AA through post processing. So that leaves anyone who is better than me (which is probably anyone) to find a better solution. I'm firing these off blindly without any real understanding of what flag bits control what. There is no documentation I could find on these values.

 

Where's Guzz when you need him?

 

Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012 AA flag?

 

ME1/ME2 bit seems to work fine with ME3 demo.

 

I Use C1 for ME3, tried also 10C1 but former is better.. both is blur free(SGSSAA)..

Mass Effect AO flags works too..

 

deep black AA - 0x004000C1 (sgssaa)

 

Darknes II AA Flag

dont use default AA flag(0x00401205), it creates white artifact around ''Striker'' Rifle and breakes shadows/AO for ''UMP'' submachine gun..

0x004000C1 flag eliminates all these problems but it costs more..

default AA flag

0x004000C1(MSAA, SGSSAA, OGSSAA)
0x004000C1 8xSGSSAA UMP - 0x004000C1 8xSGSSAA Striker


Thanks to Blaire

 

7554 aa flag?please?

 

Any AA flags or even Ambient Occlusion flags for Brawl Busters?

I tried 8xaa (Stalker flag), but it didnt do much.. Jaggies no matter what -_-

 

Never mind ...
