NVidia Anti-Aliasing Guide (updated)

[Cyberdyne]

Seeing as the original thread started here has lost it's OP, and is no longer being updated, I took the boring liberty of going though every page and making a
new list (starting from page 1, in case he missed any).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following are AA flag codes to be used with NVidiaInspector

If your game is not listed and uses the Unreal 2.5 or 3 engine, try
0x080100c5

If your game is not listed and uses the ID tech 4 engine, try
0x0000F0C1

If your game is not listed and uses OpenGL, try
0x0000F0C1

And finally, if you do not see your game, and tried other work arounds, try using the FXAA injector or the SMAA injector. And if that all fails, you can try to
downsample.

Thx dude, this kind of info could be sticky tho.

[The Sleeper]

Really nice :0)

The old thread is confusing as F...

Much appreciated :0)

[remicius]

can someone start a topic for the Ambient occlusion flags?its could be usefull too.

[otreblA]

Thank you !!!

[gerardfraser]

GO here for explanation on how to use most bits
http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulle...d.php?t=490867


Thanks,I took most all these AA BITS and put them in Nvidia Inspector.

Based on game profile from 290.53 but you can import this profile to any driver.Import with Nvidia Inspector or Nvidia SLI profile tool.

Profiles Download Sky drive

Or here
http://www.2shared.com/document/sLWz...les_29053.html

AA bit's added to all games.
Most compatibility bits are SGSSAA going for no blur.

4xSGSSAA

[wasteomind]

Dragon Nest
AA Compat = 0x20000041

Dragon Nest a relatively unpopular (in the west anyways) Korean action/MMORPG (like Vindictus) published by Nexon. Not on the list and doesn't have a profile in the drivers so I figured I would share.

[Dictator93]

Do you know the specifics of the Crysis 2 compatibility settings? Whether that is for Dx9 or 11? And what type of aliasing it entails? I personally play in dx11 and would love some not post-aa aa.

I am quite grateful that you compiled this info!

[Cyberdyne]

@wasteomind: added
@Dictator93: The flag in the list is for SGSSAA.
If you want to try it, follow the instructions laid out by Guss. http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread....70#post3930970
@gerardfraser: The problem is not having the bits, it's knowing which ones work well for which games.

[WhiteLightning]

Thanks for the update! i vote for a sticky!

[Ouzo]

Noob for all driver AA things: How do I use this?

Together with game settings, or some antialiasing settings off from game, or all off?

[Cyberdyne]

If you use enhance, you leave the AA on ingame. If you use override, you should disable AA ingame.

Games that did not tell me the engine they used (using wikipedia) I just put their name.

So the idea is that, you look up what Engine your game uses, and try out the flags that match it.

As for Darksiders, the only game that shares it's engine is Warhammer. Neither of which have a flag to try. You are more then welcome to try some others. I don't have the game.

[morbias]

OP of the previous AA thread is still here by the way! But seeing as the original thread hasn't been updated for quite some time, this one now takes it place as a sticky.

[wasteomind]

It would probably be a good idea to specify which flags are for SGSSAA and which are MSAA. It would be pretty annoying trying 3 flags on some of those and not knowing which one was the working one, or what the difference between them even is.

I know its a lot more work, but some details or notes should be added for games with multiple flags to avoid confusion for most non-advanced users. This thread doesn't have the reference material the old one did, and thus the search this thread feature can't be used to find the answers. Dead space 2 and its multiple flags is a perfect example, some cause shadows to bug out, other cause aliasing on random surfaces, and so on.

Just my 2 cents...

[Cyberdyne]

Aight. Got most of them.
Some with more then one flag are just people that reported different flags that worked for them, so it's hard to say what the difference is. Others I simply just missed. I'll work on it though.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

[Cyberdyne]

BTW, I just installed Dragon Nest, wasteomind. The game is really improved with the flag + "4xMSAA" + "-3.0 LOD". So thanks ^^

[Darren Hodgson]

@Cyberdyne - Thanks for the updated thread.

You might want to add an extra step in that illustration in post #1 though to remind people that the "Antialiasing - Behaviour Flag" needs to be set to "None" for the Override flag to work as NVIDIA has intentionally set this flag so that you can't force AA for some games (e.g. "Treat .... as ....").

[Cyberdyne]

Alright. No problem.

[WhiteLightning]

Does anyone know how to force AA wit Need 4 speed the run ?

[Phreakuency]

Is the 'force AA' mode in the Nvidia Control Panel supposed to work in every game?

Or is that why NVInspector is used, do the flags force AA properly?

And a different question, even when AA is on in games, am I right in saying some jaggies just can't be fixed?

Mafia 2 for example, looks great up close but in the distance no setting seems to fix the jaggy/flickery phone lines etc

Star Wars TOR, Tattooine's sand dunes are jaggy and move like crazy.

It's a DX11 engine so forcing standard AA is not easy (it may be possible but I'm not aware of a flag as yet). However, the driver's built in FXAA does work so just open NVIDIA Inspector, go to the game profile and set 'NVIDIA Predefined FXAA Usage' to 'FXAA_ALLOW_ALLOWED' and 'Toggle FXAA on or off' to 'FXAA_ENABLE_ON' under the Other section at the bottom of the settings.

This worked fine for the v290.53 betas but I'm not sure it is working properly with the new v295.51 betas. Can't hurt to try it and if it isn't working then you can always use an InjectFXAA or InjectSMAA mod.
