NVidia Anti-Aliasing Guide (updated)

I don't think it is upscaled because the game loaded up the first time at 1920x1200 on my PC but the resolution was set to 1280x720 with AA off. I then set it to 1920x1200 and enabled AA. Did you change that setting?

 

Well it'd be great if you guys could upload .PNG comparison shots of resolutions with and without AA.

That way we could look at it.

(Also Crossworlds,Armored Princess)


General Information:
________________________
This game runs 16:10 letterboxed it seems no matter what the resolution(Except for 16:10 resolutions). Which also means AA can only be forced at 16:10 resolutions (The whole "can't aa textures smaller than primary flip chain" thing).

I ended up just doing 1440x900 for my 1600x900 monitor and it was letterboxed all the same as it was at native. But AA was forceable.(Which is what we want)

Also the UI doesn't scale with resolution so you can downsample from a resolution proportional to whatever 16:10 resolution you are running if needed. Which is nice, improves IQ pretty well.


The In-Game AA seems to work decently, but blurs a lot of the UI for some reason

I am also assuming that everything here applies to it and it's two expansions as well. Crossworlds and Armored(Amoured for our European friends here) Princess

Well, ok.



Check this out, actual gameplay - clearly upscale from 720p, don't forget open image in fullscreen.



And this from ingame 3d model viewer - clearly 1080p

 

You are totally correct. It does look upscaled.. how strange.

Perhaps trying universal resolution changer http://www.sendspace.com/file/6kowz2 may do something. It may not, but it's worth a shot.

If it doesn't work, perhaps post on the steam forum asking the developers to solve the issue.

I may buy it now just to find out myself

 

Hello, glad to see this thread still going.

Couple queries from me :

A) How do I flag 'SLI AA' in Inspector? In the NV control panel it's straight forward as an option under the Antialiasing-setting.

B) Anyone know of any compatibility bits for SLI AA when used with LOTRO? I've tried it under the NV panel, Override>SLI 8x though it doesn't take hold in-game.

Thank you

 

Black screen and then error.

 

Yes, it seems you are right and I was wrong. To be honest it doesn't look that bad but I hope they fix it as it does seem odd that we can view models at 1920x1080 but not the actual game. :bang:

 

Dead Space 2 having some problems with AA flags, same for Dead Space 1 :

 

have you enabled AA fix? Also: DS2 is known to have problems with SGSSAA/MSAA.

 

COD Ghosts TXAA 2x and 4x DO REALLY WORK ON FERMI CARDS I've tested it severall times and it really works properly.

This is really odd as Nvidia claimed that txaa needs at leats a kepler card.
COD Ghost TXAA option being available to fermi owners proves that this is not true and that TXAA being only available to Kepler cards was just an Nvidia marketing strategy.

Now that this has been unveiled please Nvida officially support TXAA on Fermi cards.

Taken from the Nvidia offical website
NOTE: TXAA is only supported on NVIDIA® Kepler™ GPUs and will require a GTX 600–series graphics card, or higher, to enable the feature in the game's graphics options. If you do not have the requirements to enable TXAA, the option will be hidden. TXAA is not properly observed with static screen shots, only with scenes in motion.

WHAT A FARCE!!!!

 

TXAA is only supported in games by developers anyway as there is no way to currently force it via the driver control panel like you can for FXAA, MSAA and CSAA, etc. If TXAA is working in Call of Duty: Ghosts on Fermi cards then NVIDIA and the developers are already supporting it!

It may that all TXAA games, including The Secret World, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Assassin's Creed III, Crysis 3 and Splinter Cell: Blacklist, all work on Fermi cards now if you have the v331.65 drivers installed. Have you tried any of those other games? NVIDIA may have forgotten to update their website as well.

 

Shameful bump for myself.
I noticed when NV panel has SLI AA enabled, Inspector sets it to 4x(4x) Multisampling. However to me, that's just 4x AA with multisampling - certainly not SLI AA.

?

 

None of the games that you've mentioned suport txaa on fermi cards as I guess the game detect that you have a fermi card and simply doesn't suport that option in the graphics menu, that's what's so odd about cod ghosts, it's the very first game to suport txaa on fermi cards. I really don't know if it's a bug a mistake on the game programers side or any other cause, the fact it's that txaa can be used on fermi cards and so far that's not what nvida has been saying to us, so in conclusion the've been lying to us and txaa can for sure be enabled on fermi cards.

 

Timothy lottes said that it was never limited to 6xx hardware wise. But software (IE A lock). Many of us tried asking for ages for Nvidia to make it available for Fermi cards but no avail.

 

Does enabling TXAA even work though when you enable it on a non 600+ series card? I don't think it does.

No AA:



4x MSAA:



4x TXAA:



I cant see any difference between 4x MSAA or 4x TXAA in those screen shots, the FPS are even the same.

 

TXAA should only be for 600 and above, as you said.

I'll be upgrading to a Kepler GPU sometime soon, but I'm not a big fan of TXAA. The blurring introduced is far too noticeable, in my opinion.

 

SLI AA is turned on in a different flag in Inspector in the SLI section called "Antialiasing - SLI AA", once that flag is set SLI AA is on and choosing 4xAA for example means 8x SLI AA etc.

General Information:
The game seems to not use Mipmaps or something, because the base texture for table backgrounds flicker/shimmer when the camera moves away from the table or zooms out much at all.

4x4 OGSSAA and downsampling help a bit with it. But not completely. It's not terribly annoying, but an issue none the less. I posted on the Steam forum asking the devs if they can fix it or what.

20C1 is higher quality in motion than 00C1. But is slightly more demanding. But I could downsample from 1440p with 4xSGSSAA with no problems hitting 60FPS
