AAA or MSAA ? - Page 2

klizilii · 12-06-2010, 01:30 AM

I'm a bit annoyed that MSAA blurs a lot on the screen (which I don't like) and AAA does almost nothing for jagged edges... I'm at a loss since I don't like either one.. Well, at least 1080p reso doesn't create many jagged edges. Anyone know how well it works/performance of using the nvid control panel to adjust AA?

I don't believe forcing AA from the control panel even works in this game.

I had a feeling that may be the case...

yeah there was some guy in another thread claiming to run all settings max and 32x AA and get 74fps average. of course he is just a liar as his gtx580 cards can not do that. plus I tried forcing AA on and the game would not even start properly.

I got every single detail to the max, 1920*1200 resolution, physx, dx11, etc...4x/16x (MSAA/AF)

and run this game fluidly. Don't know how many FPS, but it's a really fluid gameplay. I'm running GTX570, so you'd be surprised how good the 5th generation geforce cards are. They are truly ace in my point of view.

even without advanced physx and dof turned on you would only be averaging about 27fps. if you have those tunred on then you would not even average 20 fps in parts of the game. reviewers dont even test with dof on because even a gtx580 cannot run it smoothly. http://techreport.com/articles.x/20088/9

MSAA looks better than AAA, if your card can handle it then use it!
And turn off the dof - its a real FPS eater, that only makes things blurrier.
