    An interesting Comparison for

    Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing

    For anyone that may be interested.

    Using the flag in the OP produces some great and very interesting results.


    (Forcing AA with no flag does not work.)

    (Ignore Framerate. Was manually capped at 30 for most of it.)
    No AA: https://i.minus.com/i1gscwytWwQrA.png
    4xMSAA: https://i.minus.com/iClmMTtyhjqAJ.png
    8xSGSSAA: https://i.minus.com/inx5pYMauwvla.png
    8xS+4xTrSSAA: https://i.minus.com/i0xL5QaVcYoj4.png
    2X2 OGSSAA+4xMSAA+2xTrSSAA: https://i.minus.com/iHwJP7gaDJ7zk.png

    OGSSAA produces an AMAZING result in this game. Destroying Aliasing and being sharper than any of the other modes. (Even sharper than with no AA!)

    (SMAA cannot be injected. ****s up the Color correction or something)

    |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

    Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing Transformed

    Nothing quite works perfectly well in this game. (SMAA cannot be injected either like the previous)

    I tried the flag posted on 3D Center. Left me very unsatisfied. So I gave up at first.

    Then I tried a bunch of other flags could not get any to really work well at all.

    In the end I tried with no flag(Default 0x00000000) and it worked just as well as the flag posted on 3D Center. That is to say, it worked. But not very well.

    (LARGE Pictures 1440p)

    No AA: https://i.minus.com/ibeGnPcjJME4YH.png
    In-Game AA: https://i.minus.com/iOpHW0xJPEP9V.png
    Driver FXAA: https://i.minus.com/ivWmEilqSNttf.png
    4xMSAA + In Game AA: https://i.minus.com/ivevX6qFur4kn.png
    2x2 SSAA+ In Game AA: https://i.minus.com/i9D6dbP9npLpu.png
    16xS + In Game AA: https://i.minus.com/ibjSYFdjvSMcH4.png
    8xSGSSAA + In Game AA: https://i.minus.com/iblEUivJs4CK1W.png
    Driver FXAA+In Game AA: https://i.minus.com/ibgoq5h7r6lToR.png
    0x004010C1 2x2 + In Game AA: https://i.minus.com/iPVAJAJNs0TGw.png


    While it looks ok in a Still picture. Nothing ever quite deals with the shimmering/pixel crawl. (But 0x004010C1 still does a decent/good job)

    2x2 OGSSAA from 3200x1800 with in-Game AA to 1600x900 (my monitor's native resolution) even doesn't get rid of the shimmering/pixel crawl


    Some more interesting results:

    Launch command "-ForwardRender" Produces this result.
    (W/In Game AA) https://i.minus.com/iL3ginBeELqRN.png

    Finally found a more temporally stable flag!

    0x004812C5

    4xSGSSAA (By itself) https://i.minus.com/iHJIAUd44P3Zm.png
    8xSGSSAA (By itself) https://i.minus.com/iePRo3U8r41ZH.png

    Also works with xXx SSAA modes. (Though doesn't AA well)

    Yes, I would be very grateful if someone could find any trick to get AA working on Sim City. FXAA is just not good enough.

    A.) Try OGSSAA(Downsampling) in combination with FXAA. (Since there is no hardware AA. Performance hit shouldn't be that big. So you can probably get at least 3k+ Resolution
    B.) Inject SMAA 1x (Not much better. Sometimes worse but..)
    C.) Try OGSSAA+SMAA1x
    D.) Spend hours testing every single flag in the drivers and then custom flags from here and 3DCenter

    I'd test but i'm not buying into EA's bull****. And i'm not a fan of the game. So can't help

    Thank you for the reply. Downscaling works but the GUI is very small.

    Regarding the AA flag, is there anyway to find out what it could be? The total number of combinations is way to big.

    Try 0x004412C1 and turn off the ingame antialiasing.
    Also tilt-shift should be turned off (lower setting, perhaps).

    Works great for me.
    I'm just a little bit disappointed as there seems to be no SLi support for that game.

    Thank you so much! SGSSAA works using the above flag! Big improvement for me :)

    Ah. So it's one of those types of games? well that sucks.

    Good you guys found a SGSSAA flag that works. Unfortunately, usually all I have to go on is the Engine, and the rendering type for clues.

    None of the Guild Wars 2 flags seems to work with a recent version of GW2, at least I see absolutely no difference in image quality or FPS - I also don't see any white outlines on characters though. Can somebody try and confirm this?
    Try 0x00401240 or 0x084012C0 from the op or 0×00401044 from here:

    /e: nevermind, I forgot to set behaviour to none :bang:

    Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon:

    This game is a bitch to AA. Even with SGSSAA. (And SSAA causes problems. In game AA doesn't work beyond 1080p for some reason. And anything over 2560x1440 seems to cause rendering errors.)


    The game has only built in FXAA. Which doesn't to a terribly lot.

    But I did find an interesting solution with the flag: "0x00001045"

    First: No AA https://i.minus.com/inqDuic7htS56.png

    4xSGSSAA https://i.minus.com/iDqIAe0Kthj1D.png

    4xSGSSAA +In-Game FXAA+ Sweet Fx (With a little Luma Sharpen to counteract the blur of FXAA from this game's implementation of it)
    https://i.minus.com/ib2JNIKMmskTXr.png

    4xMSAA+2xSGSSAA @1440p OGSSAA to 1080p + Driver FXAA +Sweet FX (w/Sharpen)
    https://i.minus.com/iw8P7ZrdHorxz.png
    (if you also notice. The game seems to strangely disable Ambient Occlusion beyond 2k resolution. 2048x1152)


    I'm still working to see if I can come up with a better solution. As this still doesn't handle all temporal/shader/specular aliasing(Which the game doesn't help out with. The game's Shadow/Ambient Occlusion LOD has a lot of flickering). But it still looks a HELL of a lot better than with just FXAA or no AA.

    Scarlet Blade

    For the new Aeria game: Scarlet Blade (also known as Queen's Blade), the AA bit 0x200012C1 is working, and is a bit more efficient than the ingame AA. Forced 8x MSAA + SGSSAA (with -1.5 LOD bias ofc) with better framerate than using the in-game 8x MSAA, and it actually looks less blurry as well. Didn't notice any shimmering that was out of hand yet. The SGSSAA removes almost every last ounce of possible shimmering, however, some areas do not receive AA, like anything that's rendered on top of the menus. A post injector might be required to get rid of those on top of everything else. The in-game lighting effects leave me desiring sharpening anyway, so post will indeed be used at least by me.

    Is there a problem with nvidia inspector and windows 8? I have the latest release(1.9.6.9) and am trying to apply AA to DmC. I use the correct flags form this thread but i still see jaggies on Dantes coat,sword etc. I have applied 4xMSAA 8xMSAA. evga precision suggests that the GPU usage is up, mem usage is up framerates are down but still jaggies. Tried with 4xMSAA and 2 supersampling but with no effect.

    Thanks where is that option though in inspector? Sorry am relatively new to this. Also in the Antialiasing Behavior flags what should i choose? is set to none currently.
    Edit: Found it. Something is still not working though.have not noticed any difference. And the mem usage is even lower than before as is gpu usage. Maybe it has to do with the behavior flag? thanks
