SweetFX Shader Suite release and discussion thread

so if i make it 0.5 ..its gonna be better smaa..or 0.20?

 

well 0.5 is greater than 0.20. as 0.5 would equal 0.50 or 0.20 equals 0.2.

 

I believe he meant to ask if "0.05" gives better AA than "0.2" and... the answer to that is yes, but setting it to "0.05" might cause you to have a blurrier image. I think CeeJay was trying to say that the threshold you want to set there depends on the game. So tweaking and testing changes would be required.

I generally start at "0.10" and go down from there until I find something I like.... though it usually doesn't make a big difference in the games I play.

 

What's the word on using SweetFX with 'Games for Windows Live' titles or games that require the Origin Overlay? Any techincal issues or anti-cheat concerns?

 

Wow! Beautiful :thumbup:

 

Hi all,

Seeing this in the log.log. Does it matter or is there a way to correct it?

Also for the life of me I can't get this to work, or open Rivatuner.
2) Start MSI Afterburner.
3) Switch to the "MSI On-Screen Display Server" window.


2x Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2mb, W7 64, ENB, if that helps.

Thanks!

Oh and sometimes I get a device driver failed warning and that it has restarted. That's never happened before until I started using SweetFx. This tool sure does make an improvement though.

 

Yeah, in a game like AC3 which has always-on FXAA, the addition of SMAA is barely perceptible. It makes a more noticeable difference in something like Borderlands 2 or Dead Space 2.

 

Hi all gentlemen, great screenshots all...

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 + SweetFX part 2:

Greetings.

 

Wow. That looks astonishing. Though without OFF shots it's hard to say is it more games' merit or indeed SweetFX'.

 

Hey pana muy buenos shots

 

Hey Postman, como esta todo? muchas gracias de verdad, me alegra mucho que te allan gustado..lo mismo digo de muchas tuyas que e visto en el otro thread. No sabia que hablabas el idioma que bien un gran saludo brother.

 

Anyone know why Planetside 2 wont launch when using sweetfx? It loaded the first time I tried and looked pretty good. Just had a game of ARMA II, went back to Planetside and now it refuses to load when I hit "Play".

The splash screen comes up then it just hangs?!

Took all the sweetfx files out and it loads fine.

 

do you use MVP?

 

I don't take off shots They'd clutter my flickr and I prefer to keep everything in 1 place.

It's partly SweetFX and partly framing\composition. I like to think I generally take decent screenshots. It's a talent not unlike photography.

SweetFX seems to help though. Other than Dishonored, I haven't had so many requests for my settings before Boggles my mind, because SweetFX isn't hard to tweak and accomplish what you want in a game. The only setting I don't have a complete handle on is DPX.

But if you play the game, you'll know it has a slightly washed-out look kinda like Dishonored. So increasing contrast is the first thing I did (with liftgammagain). I increase shadows more than highlights... and I reduce blue in shadows so night isn't ALL BLUUUUE. Also using HDR. Sharpening goes a long way as well.

 

MVP? /noobmode


Ahh I was using the Teamspeak Overlay. Turned it off and it works fine!

 

Settings are one thing but you seem to have a very good resizing... I personally still like Paint's resizing (YES paint) because others would just look more blurry :/ I can't be satisfied enough with other softwares...

Virtu MVP + SweetFX = dont work

 

show us some good screenshots and config for COD BLACK OPS 2

 

maybe you should ask him nicely or tweak it yourself

 

So I was messing around with my config, I hadn't touched bloom at all, increased threshold and applied.

This is my normal config without bloom:


This is with added bloom:
