Antialiasing - Kompatibilitätsbits - Sammelthread

[aufkrawall]

Wenn 0x204412C1 nicht für SGSSAA geht, geht es eigentlich nie mit nem anderen Bit.

Für Skyrim noch etwas besseres gefunden:
0x000002C1 statt 0x000000C1 mit SGSSAA.

C1:

Frisst weiterhin schon im Menü viel VRAM, kann man wohl nichts machen. Sieht aber perfekt aus.

Cool (y)

Wie viele Samples hast auf den Bildern verwendet?
Könntest du evtl. auch noch ein drittes Vergleichsbild mit aufgewertetem SGSSAA machen? :)

[aufkrawall]

Das war 4x. Habe das exakte Savegame nicht mehr, müsste alle Bilder neu machen. Aber enhanced sähe mit ziemlicher Sicherheit höchstens so gut aus wie C1, eher noch schlechter.

Hey Guys, i'm going to be making a feature request to Epic in their Unreal Engine 4 forums for SGSSAA, to help our case. I REALLY need everyone possible to take lossless screenshots of as many Unreal Engine 3 Games without 8xSGSSAA and With 8xSGSSAA (If possible. Some games like Zeno Clash II have FXAA permanently on so SGSSAA doesn't work well) as possible. So we can show them how much UE games have needed it. And the move to PBR(Physically Based Rendering) means we need it even more. Epic's own features video shows how horrible the aliasing is without Post Processing(which includes their Temporal AA) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD5cRnrMqWw)

As well I would like people to list UE2/3 games that could REALLY use SGSSAA but it is not possible to do so. (IE: Bioshock Infinite, Duke Nukem Forever)


If possible, a video comparison (As close to lossless as possible) showing 8xSGSSAA at 720p (or 1080p) compared to no AA or just FXAA. And just upload it to Mega.co.nz so I can use it in comparison too.




Thanks

My Basis for wanting to do so is based on their own responses on their new UE4 Forum
https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?446-It-would-be-really-nice-to-see-support-for-different-anti-aliasing-types
https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/10335/temporalaa-ghostingsmear-effect.html


But I intend to make a case for SGSSAA very hard. "as we feel it is an area we have pushed ahead of the industry on. "
I plan on using this point in my post too. Because already having basic MSAA implementation is a catalyst for SGSSAA. Developing just MSAA is a waste that could just be used on SGSSAA. And having SGSSAA by default as an option for both consumers and developers gives them a HUGE leap over anyone else. And judging by the UE4 titles i've seen that are only using the other alternative of FXAA in the engine, it needs it SO MUCH.

It takes all the aliasing from UE3 and seems to multiply it

Really excellent job :biggrin:
We finally have perfect SGSSAA in Skyrim.
Enhanced SGSSAA is quite good in Skyrim, but still leaves something to be desired in scenes with smoke, particles or bloom.
On the occasion of this new SGSSAA flag, I have written an extensive SGSSAA/tweaking/modding guide for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

I tested the new AA flag at 1920x1200 with 8xSGSSAA forced using "0x000002C1" and maximum settings set in the launcher.
This is combined with the following mods (installed in the order specified) and tweaks to various .ini configuration files:

The combination of various high-resolution texture packs, "uGridsToLoad=7" and driver-forced SGSSAA really makes Skyrim shine, but also completely maxes out the 3GB VRAM of my 780 GTX's :eek:
Here is a small screenshot gallery of the final result, along with my full NVIDIA Inspector profile:

Alternatively you might want to consider just enhancing ingame MSAA ("iMultiSample=" in SkyrimPrefs.ini) with SGSSAA in Skyrim.
This provides almost the same AA quality as SGSSAA forced with the "0x000002C1" flag in most scenes, but is far less demanding and also uses significantly less VRAM.

For example I'm able to use 1.5x1.5 downsampling from 2880x1800 to 1920x1200 combined with enhanced 4xSGSSAA and "Quality" HBAO+ forced with "0x00000032", and still get higher performance than with forced 8xSGSSAA at 1920x1200.
With these settings only around 2000-2400MB VRAM is used, and gameplay feels overall smoother on my GTX 780 SLI system.
Personally I prefer downsampling, enhanced SGSSAA and forced AO over simply forced SGSSAA alone, but of course the decision is up to you ;)
For more details on the differences between forced and enhanced SGSSAA in Skyrim, I suggest you take a look at this excellent post made by aufkrawall: [split] SGSSAA in Skyrim (#120) (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9136004&postcount=120)

Durante Found working SGSSAA and HBAO+ Flags for Dark Souls 2 already.

Since he's just using the flags in the driver, i'd imagine Dark Souls 2 would work with SGSSAA with only 0x004012C1 Or even less.

I wish they would allow you to disable that awful DoF. It's so low res. Hurts fidelity/IQ really bad.

Absolutely no problem, I was just making my "update" post to keep track of things.
Sorry to hear about your PSU though :(

[4Fighting]

wenn ich 0x080000C1 bei Rise of the Triad forciere, stürzt der Grafiktreiber sofort nach dem Ladelogo bei mir ab...Gerade BSOD gehabt oder Monitor geht out of Range.

Liegts an meinem System ? :D

[CrimsoN]

Also ich habe jetzt wohl echt alle Bits durch die hier geliste sind ich bekomme für Dark Souls 2 einfach kein Ergebnis. Villt hat jemand mit einen 16:9 Monitor mehr glück als ich.

0x000012C1 geht gem. guru3d nur mit 16:9...ansonsten leider nicht

Und selbst Ds geht ja kaum dank 16:10 (1.5 2560x1600), nun ja SMAA und FXAA plus Ds mehr geht wohl nicht :(

softth + sweetfx sollten doch gehen oder?

[Blade II]

Kurze Notiz:

"Darks Souls: Prepare To Die Edition" ist in der Liste falsch geschrieben, es müsste "Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition" heißen. Ggf. könnte man auch auf den DSFix (http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/?tag=dsfix) hinweisen.

Softth is mir zu umständlich muss ich sagen.
Werde es halt auf 2560x1600 mit einer SweetFX Mod spielen :D

Simply use Nvidia's Built in Scaling and create a custom 16:9 resolution.

It's pretty simple and looks just *Fine*

If your monitor is 1920x1200, make a cutsom 1080p resolution, let GPU scale and letterbox it. Basically native resolution, but with black bars. Which isn't a huge issue. I'd rather have some letterboxing than inferior AA.

If your monitor is 1680x1050 , make 1680x945

Bei Dark Souls 2 gehen doch die 0x004412C1 Bits ,besitze aber ein 16/9 Moni
It's been shown that 12C1 by itself works just fine.

[Ronin2k]

Gibt es schon Bits für Trials Fusion? :)

[MrBonk]

Is a DX11 game isn't it?

[Gast]

mit GeDoSaTo gehen bereits ein paar dx9 spiele für die es keinen (guten) aa bits gibt, wie zb:

Alan Wake
Duke Nukem Forever
Halo CE Open Sauce
Hard Reset Extended Edition (nur teilweise)
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
Silent Hill: Homecoming
Star Trek
Syndicate

[MrBonk]

Yeah it works for downsampling with many games. I used it successfully in Zeno Clash II to downsample from 4k to 900p and it worked great.


But also:


Syndicate, you can force MSAA+TrSSAA just fine without any bits BTW.

Add in the built in FXAA+ Downsampling and you get something that looks like this
http://i.minus.com/iHTryGqTfMW23.png
http://i.minus.com/ibvTObHx1rNjBA.png



It's worth noting after testing, that if you try to use Driver FXAA with Durante's Tool, it applies FXAA post-resolve from downsampling, making it useless and leaves some edges behind that could be fixed if FXAA could be applied at rendering resolution before downsampling.


However if you force something like MSAA or SGSSAA, it seems to apply at the rendering resolution level.

Here's a shot of Zeno Clash II (Which has always on FXAA/MLAA of some kind. At 4k with 2xSGSSAA on top of that. (http://i.minus.com/ijPQhvwRcYZN8.jpg)Which doesn't look the best(Looks even worse when you try to use 8xSGSSAA at native). But at least seems to show that it does work

Here's another once downsampled (With black bars cropped out)

http://i.minus.com/iuUETYHu33a5g.png (Multi stage downsampling is *FANTASTIC* By the way. Previously with driver downsampling, anything over 2x2 of my native looked awful and didn't scale right. Managed to actually create aliasing instead of combat it)

[Blackhand]

Yeah, first I tested was whether gedosato works together with SweetFX and when AA is applied. Tested with Duke Nukem Forever, K-putts´s Custom SweetFX Files (Boulataurs Injector + SweetFX 1.5.1 Shaders + AC) makes a black Screen (the white text with resolution info is still displayed). Normal SweetFX 1.5.1 works, but is unfortunately applied after the downsampling which makes SMAA rather useless.

Is there a solution to get softTH working together with sweetFX? Does RadeonPro make this Job? (ATM I have no Radeon)

Today it was the first time I heared about GeDoSaTo and was excited. In the Files, there are some SweetFX Shaders + SMAA/FXAA Files which gives hope for Future (maybe working only in Dark Souls II).

There needs to be a tool which combines SweetFX with the function of GeDoSaTo/SoftTH correctly.

[MrBonk]

He does have some PP built in, i'm sure it will hopefully progress to full SWFX implementation

[4Fighting]

It's a bit complicated but not that hard. I've to look it up properly but iirc it was this way:


Extract and rename the softth dll
Copy the renamed softth dll (e.g. soft.dll) to \Windows\SysWOW64 (I'm using an x64 OS;for x86 I have no idea) (DO NOT replace the d3d9.dll...If you renamed the dll then you are perfectly fine)
copy the sweetfx dll to the game folder
start your favorite hex editor
open the sweetfx dll which was located in the game folder in the hex editor
replace every text d3d9.dll (should be 3 replacements) with the renamed softth dll (in my case soft.dll)
save

done!

This will only work for sGPU configuration...If you want SLI then it'll get very tricky :D

[SLIKnight]

Or maybe if we get better DX9 and DX11 AA bits, none of this hazzle will be needed :biggrin:
SoftTH is the arch nemesis of SLI :freak:

Symlinks, renaming and messing around with the Windows directory to still only get mediocre AA.....grrrrrr

Schade, da Dark Souls 2 selbst mit 4xSGSSAA mit 60fps läuft. Bleibt wohl nur Downsampling.

Try enabling the AA fix with the flag 0x084012C3 or 0x084012C5

Mach den Antialiasing Fix im Inspector mal an ;)

Hr Hr^^ Hab ich glatt vergessen wie man den Inspector bedient. Schon lang her seit ich SGSSAA benutzt hab :biggrin:

Grafikfehler sind damit weg.

Spiele jedoch mit 2880x1620 per Downsampling auf 1920x1080 inkl. GeDoSaTo Effekten (darunter SMAA).
Ist der Leistung zuträglicher, damit immer 60fps erhalten bleiben. 4xSGSSAA inkl. GeDaSaTo Effekten etc. laufen dann nicht mit 60fps
und der Qualitätsunterschied zwischen Downsampling und SGSSAA ist nicht gravierend (natürlich ist 4xSGSSAA eine Spur besser, was die Gräser angeht).

Does "0x0000000F" work better than the official flag, or is this also a typo?

Hey folks! Sorry for a little bit off-topic:

I'm currently working on a web application that (hopefully) helps us to manage all the compatibility flags for anti aliasing, sli and ambient occlusion.

To give you an idea about what I'm talking about:
http://root.demon-coding.net/hosts/nvprofiles/

This is a non-functional prototype of the interface. It shows several sections on the left:

Overview
Dashboard: Just some basic overview about the project
Recent Changes: Kind of log that keeps track of which games/flags have been changed in the past time

Compatibility Flags
Games: The heart of the whole app where you can add, delete and modify compatibility flags of each game.
Profiles: I've got the idea to provide game profiles for downloading which are fully configured and "ready to use". (You will need NVInspector to import them)

Exporting
Export as List: A tool that generates BB-Code tables with all the flags in it. Basically what we are using atm in the first post of this thread.
Export as Profiles: Mass export as NVInspector-Profiles (See "Profiles" above)

Importing
Import Profiles: [Planned feature that might be added if everything else is finished.] Import your fully configured NVProfiles right into the app. This can be used to provide the 'game profiles for downloading' (See "Profiles" above) or an automatic import of compatibility flags.

... and one of these sections on the right:

A list of games with compatibility flags for msaa, ogssaa, sgssaa, hbao and sli. You can click on the MSAA-flag of Gothic 3 for example to open up a popup window that shows an editing mask for this flag. This mask provides input fields for the compatibility flag itself, the required DirectX level, a freeform for annotations in several languages (german, english and ... uhm french, just exemplary :D) and another freeform for all the URLs.

So all in all I hope that some of you will participate in the project and help to fill in the flags and all the other stuff. If someone has any great ideas (e.g. a fancy feature) I would be also very lucky to hear about it :).

Progress was a bit slow during the past weeks because I'm quite busy with work and studies but I hope to get the app finished by the end of July.

Greetings,
Blade II

PS: I've written the whole post in English because a lot of flags have been contributed by non-german-speaking-users (strange word) like SLIKnight and MrBonk. Hope that's okay, otherwise I'm going to translate it into German as well ;).

[MrBonk]

Hm. Is there a way to put in additional information for a given game?

Ex: A game that has certain requirements for certain things, like a game needing or not needing the AA fix or requires a specific method to disable in game AO?

Yes sure! Would it be sufficient to use the annotation-field for that? Otherwise me might link to forums posts at 3DC or Guru3D. The AA fix might get a special/separated field. Thanks for the idea! :)

Wie geht ihr überhaupt bei den HBAO Bits vor? Stupide von oben nach unten alle durch testen oder konntet ihr schon irgendwelche Muster erkennen?

BTW: Nutzt du auf den Shots SGSSAA? Vor einiger Zeit habe ich bei Alice mit SMAA + Downsampling im Vergleich ein schärferes Bild bekommen: https://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9726677&postcount=4062

Also ich geh gerade alle meine Spiele durch und Test ^^
Und naja also bis auf alle die Unreal engine nutzen nicht :D

P.s: Nein bei alles Alice nutze ich keine SGSSAA, das wahr auch nur fix drauf um es mal zu testen ob ich HBAO+ nutzen kann.
Aber ich hatte früher auch DS nutzten mit meiner alten GTX460!

SGSSAA and HBAO+ information in Outlast
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The SGSSAA flag "0x080000C1" currently in the AA list for Outlast (http://store.steampowered.com/app/238320/) no longer works without serious issues: Guru3D AA thread (#1340) (http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4650190&postcount=1340)
When forcing SGSSAA with this flag, you just get a performance slowdown and a black screen at the main menu, with only the menu text showing.
Fortunately this can be completely fixed by instead using "0x080010C1":

8xSGSSAA (0x080000C1)|8xSGSSAA (0x080010C1)
http://abload.de/thumb/outlast_0x080000c1bbkuj.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=outlast_0x080000c1bbkuj.png)|http://abload.de/thumb/outlast_0x080010c10tjuo.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=outlast_0x080010c10tjuo.png)


I also found a reasonably well functioning HBAO+ flag "0x00000025" for Outlast.
Alternatively "0x00000010" can also be used, but unfortunately this flag flickers on and off under certain lighting conditions.

The only downside to "0x00000025" is, that it causes the AO to "lock out of phase" with the image occasionally.
This problem is much worse with driver SGSSAA forced, so I recommend simply using driver downsampling with the "0x00000025" AO profile.
These AO "ghost effects" only happen very rarely, and I still think "25" is the overall best HBAO+ solution in Outlast.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SLI scaling and tweaking
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is a well known fact, that the official SLI profile "0x02402005" suffers from scaling issues, especially when SGSSAA is forced.
A partial solution is the "0x42402005" profile: #1185 (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9937124&postcount=1185)
However the best possible performance is achieved with "0x42402205".
DX9 SLI bit #9 does cause some very rare and minor light bleeding issues, but these mainly occur in the opening scenes of the game before you enter Mount Massive Asylum :)

Due to all of the above arguments, I'm now simply using 2x2 driver downsampling combined with HBAO+ forced with "0x00000025" in Outlast.
Please note, that it isn't possible to select a "custom" resolution through the ingame graphics settings.
The only way to use driver downsampling is to set "bUseCustomResolution=True" and adjust the values of "CustomResX" and "CustomResY" under the [OLGame.OLEngine] section of your "OLEngine.ini" file.

Here are some comparison screenshots of the final result at 3840x2400 downsampled to 1920x1200:

I also found a very nice HBAO+ flag "0x00000010" for Outlast.
Ingame SSAO can be enabled and disabled using the "AmbientOcclusion" command found in the [SystemSettings] section of OLSystemSettings.ini, but in my testing this command is completely inoperational and makes absolutely no difference ingame:

8xSGSSAA (No AO)|8xSGSSAA (SSAO)|8xSGSSAA (HBAO+)|Graphics settings|NVIDIA Inspector

So is there SSAO visible at all in the game even with it disabled in the .ini?

Is there a "Defaultcompat.ini" where it may be in there where you can modify it?

With Afterfall insanity this was the only way to disable SSAO

Basically you have to turn off an option called "special visual effects" or something like that in tne options menu in order to get this work.

No, you misunderstood that :)
What I am saying is, that "AmbientOcclusion=False" or "AmbientOcclusion=True" in OLSystemSettings.ini produces exactly the same image.
Only forcing HBAO+ with "0x00000010" adds an AO effect in Outlast ;)

No, to me it doesn't look like there is any SSAO applied ingame at all Very High settings in Outlast.
The only way to get AO in this game is to force HBAO+ :)
No other .ini methods of "disabling" SSAO either, as far as I can tell.

You need to use "0x080010C1" for SGSSAA in Outlast, NOT "0x080000C1".
I have absolutely no problems at 1920x1200 with 8xSGSSAA (0x080010C1) and HBAO+ (0x00000010) with the 337.50 drivers :)
Also make sure to use "0x42402005" as your SLI profile, otherwise the game won't scale fully with SGSSAA forced.

With 8xSGSSAA i don't get 60 FPS, altough i am using GTX 780 in SLI :(
Both GPU's are not being used at their maximum power :(

Scaling isn't perfect with "0x42402005" in Outlast, but performance is still very smooth for me at 1200P with 8xSGSSAA and HBAO+ :)
SLI-AA is usually more trouble than it is worth in my experience.

Yes it works fine (now), I'm just not crazy about sacrificing one card only for AA ;)

[aufkrawall]

Sooner or later there are places in the game with poor performance with AFR + AA, either by stuttering or by bad scaling (+ general performance hunger).

[unlightm]

hi all anyone have a AA flag for nekro yet
http://darkforgegames.com/nekro/
thanx for replies

[BeetleatWar1977]

Basically you have to turn off an option called "special visual effects" or something like that in tne options menu in order to get this work.
Would someone mind translating the DNF post for me? Google Translate returns somewhat gibberish that I can't quite get the intent from.

I did notice in this picture that the buffer is a bit strong and bleeding through a few things http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/attachments/737968d1399592253-sammelthread-hbao-kompatibilitaetsbits-dukeforever_2014_05_09_01_34_53_756.jpg

But with the mod picture it's not there. But AO doesn't seem to be applied. So i'm a little confused.

Sorry *


Whats the problem with visual effects on? I could make a customized Mod-version for this.........

[SLIKnight]

Ja beim dem screenshot ist mir wohl ein fehler passier werde Heute oder so ausgleichen ! Und Outlast nehme ich in die Liste gern auf wenn ich wider nüchtern bin :D

I noticed, that you added Oustlast to your HBAO+ list :up:
But the Mafia 2 entry still needs to be fixed.
The game should be listed as "0x00000018" with this reference: Link (http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/grafikkarten/328894-sammelthread-hbao-kompatibilitaetsbits-2.html#post6415090)

[Blade II]

Thank you.

Would you mind adding pictures of HBAO on and off?

I've just updated my post and added the missing pictures:

SSAO ingame deaktivieren


Wie ich eben gesehen habe, sind die Bits bei Guru3D (http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4815304&postcount=2015) schon gelistet, hier aber noch nicht.
Man sollte aber bedenken, dass schon bei 4x SGSSAA die Min. fps mit GK110 SLI bei ~ 50 liegen. Mit einer GTX 780 Ti hat der User bei Guru3D 35 - 40 fps.
Mit 8x SGSSAA wird dann auch bei TITAN der VRAM richtig gefüllt und es bleiben im SLI 24 - 33 fps (30 - 39 mit HBAO+)! :freak:

Angaben bei Verwendung von SSAO Ultra


VSync ist standardmäßig aktiviert, es gibt ingame keine Option -> deaktivieren über Dokumente\Bound By Flame\graphicconfig.txt
VSYNC=0
http://abload.de/thumb/boundbyflame_2014_05_rkj89.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=boundbyflame_2014_05_rkj89.png)

Ab 4x SGSSAA würde ich aber VSync aktiviert lassen, auch mit SGSSAA liegt man mit SLI meist um die 60 fps, vom nicht vorhandenen Tearing erst gar nicht zu reden.


P.S.: Wer den 337.50 Beta, so wie ich , ohne GFE Profile-Updates nutzt, muss im Profil die Release .exe (BoundByFlame.exe) adden!

SLI and HBAO+ bits information in Oblivion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did some extensive SLI and HBAO+ testing in one of my absolute favorite RPG games of the last decade, namely The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
In general Oblivion scales very well with SLI, as long as you are not CPU limited of course.

But I did find, that adding SLI bit #30 to the official profile "0x02000005" reduces loading stuttering when moving around the game world, and also improves the minimum framerate.
All other SLI bits I tried, either had absolutely no impact on performance or smoothness or actually decreased performance.
The final SLI profile then becomes "0x42000005".

In terms of HBAO+, I discovered that "0x00000005" provides a somewhat stronger AO effect than the official AO flag "0x00000011":

8xSGSSAA (No AO)|8xSGSSAA (0x00000011)|8xSGSSAA (0x00000005)|NVIDIA Inspector

Modding and screenshot gallery
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oblivion is one of those games, where modding is essential.
The overall quality of the texture work is not great in the vanilla game, and the viewing distance for most objects is severely limited by the LOD system of the older iteration of Bethesda's gamebryo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamebryo) engine.
Here is a complete list of the all the mods I'm using (installed in this specific order):


[B]Base installation

1) Install retail game and patch to version 1.2.0416
2) Use the 3gb enabler (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/23254/) mod to make Oblivion.exe large address aware
3) Install Immersive Interface (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/4109)
4) Set the HUD orientation to "Center Compass" and spell effect timer to "Graphical Timer"

Mikal33's Textures

1) Improved Doors and Flora (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/8298)

5) Tamriel NPCs Revamped (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/39872) (Place right after Oblivion.esm in the load order)
6) Passive Beasts (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/1845)

Environment

1) Beaming Sunglare (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/16533)

3) Real Night Sky (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/16617/)
4) Night Sky Fire and Ice (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/3787) (Only install Blue Masser and New Secunda)

Landscape LOD

1) Koldorn's LOD Noise Replacer (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/9952) (Use medium version)
2) Better Tiling textures for Qarl pack 4096 (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/6996/?)
3) Qarl's LOD normals 4096 compressed (http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/theelderscrollsivoblivion/mod/18143.html)

3) TES4LODGen (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/15781)

As you see, my game is quite heavily modded, and almost all aspects of vanilla Oblivion are improved upon, not just the graphics ;)
Here are some screenshots of the final result with both 8xSGSSAA and "Quality" HBAO+ forced:

http://abload.de/thumb/oblivion_2014_05_12_175zee.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=oblivion_2014_05_12_175zee.png) http://abload.de/thumb/oblivion_2014_05_12_12kyme.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=oblivion_2014_05_12_12kyme.png) http://abload.de/thumb/oblivion_2014_05_12_1g1awm.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=oblivion_2014_05_12_1g1awm.png) http://abload.de/thumb/oblivion_2014_05_12_10mxb7.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=oblivion_2014_05_12_10mxb7.png) http://abload.de/thumb/oblivion_2014_05_12_1ilb21.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=oblivion_2014_05_12_1ilb21.png) http://abload.de/thumb/oblivion_2014_05_12_1ffbny.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=oblivion_2014_05_12_1ffbny.png) http://abload.de/thumb/oblivion_2014_05_12_17zlj3.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=oblivion_2014_05_12_17zlj3.png)

A modded Oblivion is still very demanding with 8xSGSSAA and HBAO+ forced at 1920x1200, even for my 780 GTX SLI setup.
For that reason I'm only using 8xSGSSAA when playing the game, but with everything else set up exactly like described above.

Other Bethesda RPG games
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever since I bought Oblivion back in 2006, I have loved Bethesda's singleplayer RPG games.
That is why I also wrote tweakguides for Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Skyrim, which can be found here:

Fallout 3 tweakguide (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10157672&postcount=5668)
Fallout: New Vegas tweakguide (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10158868&postcount=5672)
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim tweakguide (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10184469&postcount=5756)

Absolutely fantastic work. The game looks awesome on your screenshots :)

SLI and HBAO+ bits information in Oblivion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did some extensive SLI and HBAO+ testing in one of my absolute favorite RPG games of the last decade, namely The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
In general Oblivion scales very well with SLI, as long as you are not CPU limited of course.

But I did find, that adding SLI bit #30 to the official profile "0x02000005" reduces loading stuttering when moving around the game world, and also improves the minimum framerate.
All other SLI bits I tried, either had absolutely no impact on performance or smoothness or actually decreased performance.
The final SLI profile then becomes "0x42000005".

In terms of HBAO+, I discovered that "0x00000005" provides a somewhat stronger AO effect than the official AO flag "0x00000011":

8xSGSSAA (No AO)|8xSGSSAA (0x00000011)|8xSGSSAA (0x00000005)|NVIDIA Inspector

Modding and screenshot gallery
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oblivion is one of those games, where modding is essential.
The overall quality of the texture work is not great in the vanilla game, and the viewing distance for most objects is severely limited by the LOD system of the older iteration of Bethesda's gamebryo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamebryo) engine.
Here is a complete list of the all the mods I'm using (installed in this specific order):


As you see, my game is quite heavily modded, and almost all aspects of vanilla Oblivion are improved upon, not just the graphics ;)
Here are some screenshots of the final result with both 8xSGSSAA and "Quality" HBAO+ forced:

Other Bethesda RPG games
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever since I bought Oblivion back in 2006, I have loved Bethesda's singleplayer RPG games.
That is why I also wrote tweakguides for Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Skyrim, which can be found here:

Fallout 3 tweakguide (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10157672&postcount=5668)
Fallout: New Vegas tweakguide (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10158868&postcount=5672)
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim tweakguide (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10184469&postcount=5756)

But so far I am very disappointed with Bethesda's apparent lack of effort in the recently released The Elder Scrolls: Online.
Mediocre graphics, no possibility of forcing AA and so far no SLI either.
How the mighty have fallen :(


Thx dude,nice work :umassa:

[SLIKnight]

Thank you very much guys :)
My modding of Oblivion started back in 2006, and have just gradually evolved.

Actually I bought my first SLI setup to play this game when it came out, 7900 GTX SLI.
But back then we couldn't even force MSAA with HDR enabled.
This changed with 8800 GTX SLI though :biggrin:

General Information:
When there first was a demo for this, I tested for an SGSSAA flag, but nothing quite looked right. I could never figure out why. It didn't look like it worked properly. And that's still true. But for reasons different than I had thought!
Turns out, it's entirely the DoF that causes issues. And the DoF also somewhat acts as edge AA, explaining why SGSSAA+this DoF doesn't look good. Things are missed, there are resolve issues around many objects and other stuff.

Mind you, when downsampled by itself+FXAA the DoF provides pretty good IQ/AA.

So I decided to poke through the .ini files to see if there was an option akin to the appcompat settings in other UE3 games. And there was!

In the /my games/Flashback/config/FlashbackGame.ini for each setting in the graphics menu there is a sub-list of things each option enables.

Locate "Depth of Field=True" at the highest preset and set it to FALSE.

Viola!

Batman: Arkham Asylum & City SGSSAA/HBAO+ bits information
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tested "0x080000C1" successfully for SGSSAA in Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City.
In both games I set maximum settings in the "Launcher", and then perform various .ini tweaks.
The purpose of the tweaks is to reduce stuttering and stabilize FPS, and at the same time increase image quality.
I also found a very nice HBAO+ flag "0x00000024" for Arkham Asylum (capped at 62 FPS):

Despite my best efforts, I didn't manage to find a perfect HBAO+ flag for Arkham City.
Some combinations of AO bits applied a quite nice HBAO+ effect, but these either reduced GPU usage significantly compared to using ingame SSAO and/or caused various graphical glitches.
Fortunately the ingame DX9 SSAO isn't too bad in Arkham City:

Batman: Arkham Origins & BioShock Infinite tweaking
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have prepared an AA/tweaking guide for Batman: Arkham Origins.
As found by "BR4DDERS", the standard UE3 AA flag "0x080000C1" can also be used to force DX9 SGSSAA in the third installment of the Batman games: #5132 (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9973289&postcount=5132), Guru3D (#1497) (http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4684610&postcount=1497)
But "Dynamic Shadows" needs to be disabled ingame when using SGSSAA in B:AO, whether it is being enhanced/forced in DX9 or enhanced in DX11.
Otherwise SGSSAA won't be applied properly around areas/objects affected by dynamic shadows.

Due to these complications with forced/enhanced SGSSAA, I'm instead using a combination of 1.5x1.5 downsampling from 2880x1800 to 1920x1200 and 4xTXAA, which produces a very good result IMO.
Fortunately the TXAA implementation in B:AO is not nearly as blurry as in some games.
My ingame settings and .ini file tweaks can be summarized like this:


Game Options:

Camera Assist: Off
Hints: Off
Vibration: Off

Audio Options:

Sound Output Selection: Headphones
Subtitles: Off

Video Options:

Resolution: 2880x1800
V-Sync: Off
Anti-Aliasing: GeForce TXAA High
Geometry Detail: DX11 Enhanced
Dynamic Shadows: DX11 Enhanced
Motion Blur: Off
Depth of Field: DX11 Enhanced
Distortion: On
Lens Flares: On
Light Flares: On
Reflections: On
Ambient Occlusion: DX11 Enhanced
Hardware Accelerated PhysX: High

bminput.ini:

[Engine.PlayerInput]
MouseSensitivity=25.0
bEnableMouseSmoothing=false

bmengine.ini/DefaultEngine.ini:

[Engine.Engine]
bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE

[Engine.GameEngine]
bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE

[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
AllowJoystickInput=0

[SystemSettings]
MaxAnisotropy=16
bAllowOQFixForSLI=True

[VOIP]
bHasVoiceEnabled=false


All the relevant .ini files for the single player part of B:AO can be found in "\Steam\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Origins\SinglePlayer\BMGame\Config".
As you see, I'm using "bAllowOQFixForSLI=True" in "bmengine.ini".
This variable fixes SLI scaling in indoor locations, but may cause some minor texture flickering: #1211 (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9978590&postcount=1211)

Finally I strongly recommend deleting the "_CommonRedist\DotNet" and "_CommonRedist\PhysX" folders before launching the game for the first time.
Doing so will prevent Steam from installing .NET 4.0 and PhysX 9.12.1031 on your system, and will save you the inconvenience of reinstalling the latest PhysX 9.13.1220 (http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.13.1220-driver.html).
I'm also using the "-nostartupmovies" Steam launch parameter to skip all the annoying introductory movies.
At the bottom of this post I will include a small optimization guide for another DX11 UE3 title, namely BioShock Infinite.


Unlike its two predecessors BioShock 1 & 2 (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9254703&postcount=2348), SGSSAA can't be forced in BioShock Infinite since it is DX11 only.
This means, that we are stuck with using the ingame FXAA setting combined with driver downsampling.
When running "Ultra" settings at very high resolutions, the texture streaming system of BI can cause stuttering and may result in high detail textures not loading properly.

There is however a relatively simple solution to this problem, i.e. increase the size of the texture cache the game uses to load textures into.
What really interests us here is the "PoolSize" variable located in "XEngine.ini".
It should be adjusted according to available VRAM, following the formula #GB VRAM x 600 (http://67.227.255.239/forum/showthread.php?t=529440) = 3 x 600 = 1800 for 3GB VRAM.
For a smooth, stutter free experience at 3K or 4K resolutions, I also recommend a few other .ini file tweaks:


XCombat.ini:

[Configuration]
bInitializeShadersOnDemand=TRUE (Replace all instances of "bInitializeShadersOnDemand=FALSE")

XEngine.ini:

[TextureStreaming]
PoolSize=1800 (Use the "-ReadTexturePoolFromIni" launch parameter in Steam)

[SystemSettings]
VsyncTo60WhenUnder30=True
bInitializeShadersOnDemand=TRUE

[FullScreenMovie]
;StartupMovies=2KLogoSweep720p2997
;StartupMovies=IrrationalLogoTest
;StartupMovies=UE3AnimatedLogo_ProRes

XUI.ini:

[GFxUIEngine]
MaxResolutionUpScale=0.5 (Scales the HUD)

XUserOptions.ini:

[XCore.XUserOptionsManager]
MaxUserFOVOffsetPercent=28.570000 (Increases the maximum of the ingame FOV slider to 100 degrees)

Thank you SLIKnight. You did amaizing job as always. Is there a thread or perhaps a webside with all the game tweaks you made till now?

By the way this thread is getting more and more HBAO+ thread. I am not unhappy about it, but its getting a little bit confusing. Mayby we should rename it to AA&HBAO+ thread?

No, I don't have any website for these guides (yet :)), but I believe Blade II talked about making a web-application to collect all relevant information for each game in the AA/AO/SLI lists here on 3DCenter, Guru3D and PCGamesHardware.de.
Including relevant descriptions and tweaking guides might be a good extension to such an app?

Until then, I will continue to post my AA/AO guides both here in the 3DCenter AA sammelthread as well as the 3DCenter AO thread, which can be found here:
http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=496760

Wolfenstein: The New Order hat ja OpenGL und kann kein SGSSAA aber dafür kann auf TrSSAA erweitern ist das so richtig ?

[Raff]

Ich zitiere dazu mal unseren krawallisten: :)

Um bei OpenGL auf SGSSAA aufzuwerten, muss TrSSAA ausgewählt werden (z.B. "4x Supersampling", nur in diesem Fall nicht "4x Sparse Grid Supersampling").

[MrBonk]

Wolfenstein: The New Order hat ja OpenGL und kann kein SGSSAA aber dafür kann auf TrSSAA erweitern ist das so richtig ?
It should. But lately this hasn't worked in many OGL titles that i've tried.

4xTrSSAA in OGL is supposed to work like regular SGSSAA in DX9. (Is one of the reasons people have complained TrSSAA in Doom 3 vanilla is blurry IIRC)

I don't know though can't quite remember for sure.

[SLIKnight]

I don't know though can't quite remember for sure.

With the older drivers, enhancing with TrSSAA in Doom 3, and other IdTech4 games such as Prey, did cause significant blurring.
But that isn't the case anymore, since NVIDIA built automatic OpenGL LOD adjustment into the drivers ;)
TrSSAA does function the same way in OpenGL as SGSSAA does in DX9-11, which is essentially a driver "bug" NVIDIA never fixed.
Let us hope they never do, because that might result in no SGSSAA in OpenGL at ALL :biggrin:

However you are correct, in that enhancing with TrSSAA doesn't work properly in some newer OpenGL games, and i'm not sure if it does anything at all in IdTech5 games?
It didn't in RAGE if I remember correctly.

[aufkrawall]

It does, but it adds blur.
There's no automatic LOD adjustment for OpenGL, you have to do it manually (not related to the blur in Rage). It has always been in the driver but wasn't in the public NVAPI.
Newer Inspector versions just needed to add the option in the xml config file.

[SLIKnight]

Ah I am sorry about my wording then :)
I meant simply driver OpenGL LOD adjustment.

[MrBonk]

I never had an issue with any kind of blur personally with Doom 3, though it *Was* there.

As long as there is a way for people to counteract it in some way. That's all that matters.

It'd be nice to see more OGL games working with it though. Most i've tried lately don't work.

[aufkrawall]

Doom 3 vanilla doesn't blur with SGSSAA and LOD adjustment.

Is there anyone who knows how to activate SSAA in "Wolfenstein - The New Order"?

[CrimsoN]

Is there anyone who knows how to activate SSAA in "Wolfenstein - The New Order"?

Is OpenGL = No Bits !

[Teo_90]

Is OpenGL = No Bits !

But SSAA isn't working anyway -.- Everywhere i look: aliasing!

[Blade II]

Afaik it is not possible to activate MSAA in Wolfenstein: The New Order. The command line switch +r_multisamples "##" (http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Wolfenstein:_The_New_Order#Video_settings) has no effect, therefore enhancing to SSAA won't work either.

The best bet is to inject FXAA through the driver and downsample the image if performance is sufficient. [NVInspector Screenshot] (http://img.techpowerup.org/140523/nvidia_20140523_150346.png)

According to the German magazine Gamestar you'll get a (significant) performance boost if you

enable texture compression
lower shadow quality
disable screen space reflection (SRR)

[SLIKnight]

I did some extensive HBAO+ testing in Just Cause 2.
Since JC2 is DX10-only game, I worked my way through various relevant combinations of DX10+ AO bits.

Unfortunately I didn't find anything useful, since everything I tried either resulted in slowdowns with low GPU usage and/or no AO being applied at all.
For reference I will include a few examples of some of the AO bits I tried, and the behavior of the game with "Quality" HBAO+ forced using these bits:

0x000E0000
Severe slowdown and no AO

0x00060000
Severe slowdown and no AO

0x00040000
Severe slowdown and no AO

0x000A0000
Subtle AO effect being applied to grass, but low GPU usage and bad performance

0x00020000
No slowdowns but no AO either

0x00080000
Severe slowdown and no AO

0x000B0000
No slowdowns but no AO either

0x00010000
No slowdowns but no AO either

0x00090000
Severe slowdown and no AO

But then again, there is really no need to use driver-forced HBAO+ in JC2 anyway, since the ingame "SSAO=High" setting does a beautiful job IMO.
Here are some comparison screenshots taken at 2880x1800 downsampled to 1920x1200 with ingame 4xMSAA enhanced to 4xSGSSAA through the driver profile:

DS+4xSGSSAA (No AO)|DS+4xSGSSAA (SSAO)|Display Settings|Advanced Display|Resolution Settings|NVIDIA Inspector

http://abload.de/thumb/jc2_noao_resizedr0kxa.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=jc2_noao_resizedr0kxa.png)|http://abload.de/thumb/jc2_ssao_high_resizede4k07.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=jc2_ssao_high_resizede4k07.png)|http://abload.de/thumb/jc2_displaysettings_rq1jth.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=jc2_displaysettings_rq1jth.png)|http://abload.de/thumb/jc2_advanceddisplayse2ukla.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=jc2_advanceddisplayse2ukla.png)|http://abload.de/thumb/jc2_resolutionsettingh2j4m.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=jc2_resolutionsettingh2j4m.png)|http://abload.de/thumb/jc2_inspector94ky8.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=jc2_inspector94ky8.png)


Ingame SSAO in JC2 is almost the same quality as driver-forced HBAO+ in other games, and the performance hit in this particular scene is around 17% on my 780 GTX SLI setup.
Finally it should be noted, that there are some issues with black flickering textures around leaves with the 337.50 driver, which will be corrected by NVIDIA in the next driver update:

hi MR BONK and everyone
YOU STILL CAN FORCE ANTIALIAS BUT ONLY WITH FEW TRICKS AND RESTRICTIONS

1st) go to steam apps folder/wolfenstein:the new order/base/graphicsprofiles.json

then find "r_multiSamples" :
"low" : 0,
"mid" : 0,
"high" : 0,
"ultra" : 0,

edit according to your taste(2,4,8 tested 16x ....well seems WAY TOO HEAVY! i hit 45-50fps @1080p 4xtrssaa)

2nd)THEN INGAME SET TO LOW,MEDIUM,HIGH,ULTRA
(CUSTOM WONT WORK ATM SORRY)

3nd)force through NVINSPECTOR
Override any application setting
...x [4x Multisampling]
...x Supersampling

Interesting. Latest drivers "Dark Souls II – added profile, added NVCPL anti-aliasing support"

[SLIKnight]

Yep, the "0x00401045" AA flag has been added to the Dark Souls II profile.
Don't own the game, so no idea if it works properly though.

[MrBonk]

it's probably for MSAA anyway i'm guessing. Which is pointless

[4Fighting]

The SGSSAA flag "0x080000C1" currently in the AA list for Outlast no longer works without serious issues.
When forcing SGSSAA with this flag, you just get a performance slowdown and a black screen at the main menu, with only the menu text showing.
Fortunately this can be completely fixed by instead using "0x080010C1":



That's weird...forcing SGSSAA immediately crashs here regardless of which bit I'm using.:confused:

Using 0x000010C1 at least let's me start the game

[SLIKnight]

No crashing here, works great with "0x080010C1" at 1920x1200.
Maybe this is one of those 16:10 or 16:9 issues?

apparently nvd3dumx.dll causes this problem, but I got no idea whats this nv-file for

So does "0x000010C1" work for SGSSAA ingame?

For reference, I am running Windows 7 Ultimate with Aero disabled.
If that makes any difference.

Just a quick update.
Played about 2 hours of "Outlast" yesterday with the 337.88 WHQL driver and the exact settings mentioned in this post: #5811 (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10205893&postcount=5811)
Experienced absolutely no problems with 8xSGSSAA forced using "0x080010C1" and HBAO+ forced using "0x00000010", except maybe the less than optimal SLI scaling with "0x42402005" :)
I have the Steam version of Outlast btw (don't own the Whistleblower DLC).

I simply can't explain why you are crashing.
Maybe it is some Windows service/process interfering with the game?
My W7 64-bit installation is very bare bones, with every unnecessary element of Windows disabled/uninstalled.

Perhaps this is somehow related to Outlast being a 64-bit UE3 game?
How big of a page file do you have?
Even with 12GB system RAM, I still use a 3GB page file located on my Windows drive.

Semi-OT

Da kein Treiber-Downsampling in The Elder Scrolls Online greift, habe ich mal nach einer Config-Datei gesucht und die UserSettings.txt gefunden.
Es gibt viele Einträge - und vermutlich kann man auch noch an anderen Stellen etwas aufdrehen. :)

-> C:User\Dokumente\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\UserSettings.txt

Für "4K DS" wie folgt ändern:

SET FullscreenHeight "2160"
SET FullscreenWidth "3840"

Anschließend habe ich die Datei noch schreibgeschützt.

Es scheint sich zu verhalten wie Ingame-SSAA. Die Screenshots bleiben bei der nativen Auflösung, aber Glättung sowie GPU-Usages mit den neuen SLI-Bits 0x000000F5 sind sichtbar besser wie nativ -> FullHD hier. :)


E: Das MGPU-Scaling normal noch besser, bei mir ist es wegen der 2. Karte schlechter


E2: Ok, der Post ist doch unnnötig. Treiber-DS funktioniert nun ganz normal - man sieht auch den optischen Unterschied bei einer höheren Auflösung als nativ nach dem Umstellen.
Früher war das nicht der Fall. Das hat man wohl gepatcht. Hab es schon länger nicht mehr angefasst. :)

Ein paar Notizen zu
Need For Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed


Anti Aliasing:

Die im Startpost eingetragenen SGSSAA Bits (0x004110C1) funktionieren nach wie vor, benötigen aber den Anti Aliasing Fix. Ohne den Fix ziehen sich feine, 1px breite Linien durch das Bild. Das Problem lässt sich besonders gut bei Schatten erkennen [Screenshot] (http://abload.de/image.php?img=shift2u_2014_06_09_12h8xvj.png). Durch den Fix werden außerdem die Schatten in einer höheren Auflösung berechnet und sehen dadurch deutlich besser aus!


Ambient Occlusion:

Die AO Flags von Shift 1 (0x0000001E) funktionieren auch bei Shift 2 sehr gut und verleihen der Karosserie des Wagens eine schöne Plastizität. Am Gras und an den Streckenrändern wirkt das AO ebenfalls gut.


Bildqualität:

In einem Wort: Unterirdisch. Das Bild ist auch ohne SGSSAA, ingame-AA und Bewegungsunschärfe enorm unscharf. Durch das Hitzeflimmern wirkt das gesamte Bild unruhig und noch stärker verwaschen, es verstärkt sogar das Aliasing. Das Interface des Spiels ist vermutlich auf 720p optimiert und wird auf größere Auflösungen hoch skaliert wodurch es insg. sehr matschig und pixelig wird. Verbesserung schafft SweetFX mit LumaSharpen. Meine Settings:

/*-----------------------------------------------------------.
/ LumaSharpen settings /
'-----------------------------------------------------------*/
// -- Sharpening --
#define sharp_strength 1.65 //[0.10 to 3.00] Strength of the sharpening

//I designed the pattern for offset_bias 1.0, but feel free to experiment.

Blade II vielen lieben dank !

[Blade II]

Gerne :)

Mir ist gerade aufgefallen, dass du NFS Shift 2 quasi zwei mal in deiner Liste stehen hast. Soll der erste Eintrag evtl. für Shift 1 sein? Bei dem zweiten (Shift 2 Unleashed) müsste auch noch das AO Bit 0x0000001E von Shift 1 rein.

Achja, für Homefront muss das InGame SSAO deaktiviert werden. Habe vergessen es dazu zu schreiben, sorry :S.

Ja, AFR hat in Outlast nicht richtig funktioniert. Zumindest nicht mit forciertem AA.
Musst du SLI-AA nutzen.

Thanks a lot for this tip :biggrin:
For me Outlast performs much better with SLI-8xSGSSAA than with traditional AFR (0x42402005 profile) and 8xSGSSAA.
No crashing at startup or other problems with either setup ;)

Ein paar Notizen zu
Need For Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed


Anti Aliasing:

Die im Startpost eingetragenen SGSSAA Bits (0x004110C1) funktionieren nach wie vor, benötigen aber den Anti Aliasing Fix. Ohne den Fix ziehen sich feine, 1px breite Linien durch das Bild. Das Problem lässt sich besonders gut bei Schatten erkennen [Screenshot] (http://abload.de/image.php?img=shift2u_2014_06_09_12h8xvj.png). Durch den Fix werden außerdem die Schatten in einer höheren Auflösung berechnet und sehen dadurch deutlich besser aus!


Ambient Occlusion:

Die AO Flags von Shift 1 (0x0000001E) funktionieren auch bei Shift 2 sehr gut und verleihen der Karosserie des Wagens eine schöne Plastizität. Am Gras und an den Streckenrändern wirkt das AO ebenfalls gut.


Bildqualität:

In einem Wort: Unterirdisch. Das Bild ist auch ohne SGSSAA, ingame-AA und Bewegungsunschärfe enorm unscharf. Durch das Hitzeflimmern wirkt das gesamte Bild unruhig und noch stärker verwaschen, es verstärkt sogar das Aliasing. Das Interface des Spiels ist auf vermutlich auf 720p optimiert und wird auf größere Auflösungen hoch skaliert wodurch es insg. sehr matschig und pixelig wird. Verbesserung schafft SweetFX mit LumaSharpen. Meine Settings:

/*-----------------------------------------------------------.
/ LumaSharpen settings /
'-----------------------------------------------------------*/
// -- Sharpening --
#define sharp_strength 1.65 //[0.10 to 3.00] Strength of the sharpening
#define sharp_clamp 0.135 //[0.000 to 1.000] Limits maximum amount of sharpening a pixel recieves - Default is 0.035

// -- Advanced sharpening settings --
#define pattern 2 //[1|2|3|4] Choose a sample pattern. 1 = Fast, 2 = Normal, 3 = Wider, 4 = Pyramid shaped.
#define offset_bias 1.0 //[0.0 to 6.0] Offset bias adjusts the radius of the sampling pattern.
//I designed the pattern for offset_bias 1.0, but feel free to experiment.

// -- Debug sharpening settings --
#define show_sharpen 0 //[0 or 1] Visualize the strength of the sharpen (multiplied by 4 to see it better)

Fantastic stuff, Blade II.
This kind of attention to detail is exactly what we need to keep the HBAO+ threads alive :smile:

Btw I found a DX9 HBAO+ flag "0x00000018" for Crysis and Crysis: Warhead: http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4834967&postcount=521
It isn't completely perfect, since it only works outdoors, so ingame SSAO should be kept on to get AO in indoor environment.
But there are no better alternatives :(

[Blade II]

You're welcome! :)

Pretty nice find for Crysis, that's a huge advantage in terms of IQ. I've noticed that NVidia offers an official HBAO flag for Crysis 3: 0x000E0000. Have you also tried this one or a combination of both for Crysis 1? Maybe the "E" solves the interior problems? Just guessing :D.

[Hübie]

Funktionieren die Bits für Shift 2 auch im ersten Teil??

[Blade II]

Vermutlich, da es die offiziellen Bits von NVidia sind und beide Spiele die gleiche Engine benutzen. Getestet habe ich es aber nicht :D.

Actually "0x000E0000" is a DX10/11 only HBAO+ profile.
In fact, all AO profiles of the form "0x000X0000" (X=1,2,3..9,A,B,...F) only have an effect in DX10 and DX11.
DX9-only profiles always have the form "0x000000YZ" :)

In Crysis, there are a few other AO bits, which work in both indoor and outdoors scenes.
But unfortunately these cause one issue or the other, so we are stuck with "0x00000018" combined with a mild level of ingame SSAO as the best compromise.

Aah, that's good to know, thanks! That makes finding flags a lot easier :)

If I'll find the time I might also check out Crysis 1 again in the near future. I think I finished the game back in 2007, running in 800x600 on lowest settings because my Radeon 9600 Pro couldn't handle it. Playing it again on 1080p with proper AA and AO would be truly a bless :D.

[SLIKnight]

I updated my Crysis HBAO+ post:
http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4834967&postcount=521

It turns out, the "0x00000018" HBAO+ flag causes certain artifacts on some levels in Crysis, so using it can't really be recommended
"0x0000000A" works in both indoor and outdoor scenes, but also causes artifacts.
This means, there are no real good options for forced HBAO+ in Crysis :(

[SLIKnight]

I have been doing some tweaking in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation, and would like to post my results.
Furthermore I also found a nice HBAO+ flag "0x0000002F" for the game.
Here is a set of comparison screenshots taken at 1920x1200 with 8xSGSSAA forced using "0x080000C1":

Simply setting "AmbientOcclusion=False" in PKHDEngine.ini can't be recommended, since this will cause the game to default to "Postprocessing Quality=Low" ingame, causing other effects to be turned off along with SSAO ;)
Finally I will include a small screenshot comparison gallery from the "Cemetary" level of PKHD:

Has anyone played around with the new MMO Wildstar? Looks like it will need a flag.

[Atma]

I've tested a bit with Spintires. I'm trying my best to write in proper English so forgive me if you find mistakes :)

The recommended Bit for Spintires/Games with Unity engine (0x004000C1) breaks a lot of things. SSAO, the vehicles light beams AND the water AND the fumes. So I've tried other AA Bits and now I'm using the 0x00401045 Bit (Dark Souls II). It still brokes SSAO and the light beams but not the water and the fumes. I didn't make comparison screenshots for the fumes but for the water.

Water with 0x00401045:

You can see that the water is clearly broken on the second screenshot.

I also tested several HBAO+ Bits and found a working one as a replacement for the broken ingame SSAO when using SGSSAA (y)

No AO:

My recommendation:

0x00401045 for SGSSAA (it only breaks SSAO and the light beams)
0x00000004 for HBAO+ (replacement for the broken ingame SSAO when using SGSSAA)

Edit: Added AO comparisson (Ingame SSAO vs. HBAO+). SGSSAA is disabled in these screenshots

AA quality with 45 looks ok, some stuff is missed it looks like.

But maybe
Try 0x004010C5 instead

Or even 0x084212C3

don't forget to try the flags you have already either with or without the AA fix. This can cruicially fix or break many games

Thanks for the HBAO+ flag :)

AA didn't work with 0x004010C5 and 0x084212C3.

AA works with both but the water and the fumes are broken again.

[MrBonk]

I see. Thanks for trying!

I really wish devs would get their shit together and put in real AA for once. :\ this is getting out of hand.

[SLIKnight]

I have been doing some more HBAO+ testing in the DX9 versions of Crysis and Crysis: Warhead, and have finally discovered that "0x0000000D" is the only real driver AO solution for these games.
"0x0000002D" also works in both Crysis and Warhead, but applies a very strong AO effect, which makes the grass look very "fuzzy" and rather unappealing IMO.

Initially I found, that "0x00000018" worked reasonably well in both games.
But unfortunately I later discovered, that this flag doesn't apply any AO effect indoors, flickers on and off on occasion and bleeds through various game elements such as the HUD, smoke, water etc.
"0x0000000A" works slightly better than "0x00000018" in Crysis, but still flickers on and off in grassy areas.
Furthermore the "0A" flag causes very rapid flickering on/off in Warhead.

Here are some comparison screenshots at 1920x1200 with 4xSGSSAA forced using "0x000002C1":

Crysis: Warhead

1) Crysis Warhead - Rygel High-Res Texture mod (http://www.fileplanet.com/194747/190000/fileinfo/Crysis-Warhead---Rygel-High-Res-Texture-mod)


"0x0000000D" doesn't apply the strongest AO effect in Crysis and Warhead, but it is the best possible compromise with the current driver HBAO+ implementation.
Additional information about my settings, tweaks and mods can be found in this Crysis and Warhead tweaking guide: #4351 (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9796209&postcount=4351)

I have been doing some more HBAO+ testing in the DX9 versions of Crysis and Crysis: Warhead, and have finally discovered that "0x0000000D" is the only real driver AO solution for these games.
"0x0000002D" also works in both Crysis and Warhead, but applies a very strong AO effect, which makes the grass look very "fuzzy" and rather unappealing IMO.
Great work, thanks a lot! :)


Portal 2

SLIKnight already posted an excellent guide on how to enable SSAA in Portal 2. I'm running the game with 16xS and no TRSSAA which already results in a very nice and smooth image. However Ambient Occlusion is still missing ;). [For reference, you can find his post here (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9559666&postcount=3606)]

Most of the Source AO-Flags are also working for Portal 2. While some of them seem to apply exactly the same "type" of AO, others differ mainly in the strength of the effect. I took a few comparison shots, the ambient occlusion strength increases from left to right.

no AO|0x00000014 (L4D 2)|0x0000002C (CS: GO)|0x00000006 (L4D 1)|0x00000008 (HL2: EP2)

Personally I think 0x00000014 (L4D 2) is a very good trade off. The effect isn't that strong but noticeable while dark areas aren't getting to much occlusion.

I'm going to test some other Source-engine games in the future, maybe the behavior/strength of the flags above is the same in each game.

Initially I found, that "0x00000018" worked reasonably well in both games.
But unfortunately I later discovered, that this flag doesn't apply any AO effect indoors, flickers on and off on occasion and bleeds through various game elements such as the HUD, smoke, water etc.
"0x0000000A" works slightly better than "0x00000018" in Crysis, but still flickers on and off in grassy areas.
Furthermore the "0A" flag causes very rapid flickering on/off in Warhead.

Here are some comparison screenshots at 1920x1200 with 4xSGSSAA forced using "0x000002C1":

Is it possible you could post shots of the in game SSAO for comparison too?

[SLIKnight]

Is it possible you could post shots of the in game SSAO for comparison too?

Actually the "No HBAO+ shots" are taken using a small amount of ingame SSAO, i.e. "r_SSAO_amount=0.4" (Crysis) and "r_SSAO_amount=0.3" (Warhead) in my autoexec.cfg files included in the above post ;)
This gives the overall best result with the "0D" flag IMO.

[MrBonk]

So that's why I thought I was still seeing the soft/weirdness of the crysis SSAO still there.

But, you are right it is pretty subtle. Which is good, because I remember when I played through Crysis on my 460, I had to use the Half res Z buffer command for the SSAO for better performance, and the SSAO itself was just crazy all over the place with clouding and flickering and stuff haha.

The game scales very bad with forced AA, that's why I only applied 2x MSAA in the profile. Just tested the demo, maybe the full version is working better.

The Witcher 2

First of all SLIKnight already wrote a fantastic tweak guide. I just took another look at Witcher 2 and experimented with PostAA, Downsampling, MSAA and SGSSAA. Here are a few notes based on SLIKnights post:

Post AA
Most of the Post Anti-Aliasing Methods give a similar result with similar performance impact. SMAA has best IQ but FPS drop is quite significant at 4k resolution. MLAA is a little bit faster but the edge detection isn't that convincing. A lot of "stairs" aren't smoothed correctly, SMAA and FXAA do a lot better job there. FXAA seems to be the best compromise then. (Driver injected FXAA is more demanding, injected FXAA (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=510658) is the better choice.)

Uber- & Downsampling
The built in Ubersampling equals 2x of the native resolution if activated through the launcher. It is possible to force higher Ubersampling, see Tweaks below.
However it is fairly bugged. If enabled the ingame Anti-Aliasing doesn't work any more and the image isn't even sampled in some situation: [Example (http://abload.de/image.php?img=witcher2_2014_06_30_1x2s8r.png), Note]. Driver Downsampling does not suffer from these problems, has a better quality with the same performance impact and is therefore superior to Ubersampling.

Durante just released Beta 8 of his Downsampling-Tool GeDoSaTo (http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/) which makes it possible to run Witcher beyond 4k resolutions.

MSAA (0x000032C1)
Sadly MSAA produces quite ugly white outlines on a few of the characters skins. I think there is a conflict with some transparent textures like hair or clothes. Except that, MSAA gives a nice result (y).

OGSSAA
Not working at all, heavy glitches.

SGSSAA (0x000012C1)
Quite interesting behavior. You need to have the same amount of multi- and sparsegrid-samples, otherwise it isn't working at all. Furthermore lower modes apply more blur (and artifacts) than higher modes. 8x SGSSAA looks good if you combine it with a sharpening filter but is very demanding. 4x SGSSAA does also a quite good job if you downsample the image. I tested it with 1.5x of my native resolution (with bicubic downscaling and sharpening). Quality and performance was comparable with 8x SGSSAA while the image was a lot sharper.

Conclusion
In most cases FXAA + Downsampling (as much as possible) seems to be still the best way. Maybe we can play the Witcher 2 in a distant future with 8x SGSSAA and 2x Downsampling which surely gives an awesome image quality.

Tweaks
(In addition to SLIKnights Tweaking Guide)

The config file User.ini can be found in C:\Users\[...]\Documents\Witcher 2\Config\.

It is also possible to increase Ubersampling by changing the UberSampling=x value:

UberSampling=0 and UberSampling=1 are equal and deactivate Ubersampling
UberSampling=2 equals 2x2 OGSSAA (standard)
UberSampling=3 equals 3x3 OGSSAA
UberSampling=4 equals 4x4 OGSSAA and so on.

Durante is currently working on his next GeDoSaTo (http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/)-Release (Beta 8) with support for the Witcher 2. I'm looking forward to test the game at 8k resolution :].

Actually in Crimson's comparison,

1. His downsampled shot isn't downsampled (still native shot)
2. It's using the built in Sharpening (Which the built in AA AFIK enables by default), which looks awful
3. Once it is downsampled, it still looks worse than the ubersampling shot because of all of the insane sharpening going on. Ubersampling looks fine, it looks blurrier because the textures aren't really all that detailed to start with. It just removes the terrible sharpening filter. So once all is said and done and the Sharpening filter is disabled. They should look basically comparable.

So by my standards aside from running things like the bloom at a higher resolution by the looks of it, Downsampling with the built in sharpening doesn't look better than ubersampling. Looks worse unless the sharpening is disabled.
Other than that good work.

[Blade II]

Thanks for the input! :)

I know that Crimsons screenshot aren't downsampled. I've compared them both at 1050p with bilinear scaling (which is afaik also used by the driver for downsampling). Dunno why his screenshots differ that much in sharpness, maybe he is using other settings than me.

Personally I still think that Downsampling has a better quality at the same performance. Here are a few comparison shots:

Personally I think 3840x2400@1920x1200 with driver FXAA looks significantly better than the "Ubersampling+1.5xDS+MLAA" combination, I was previously using in Witcher 2.
Ingame "sharpening" can of course be disabled by setting "AllowSharpen=0" in User.ini (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10055171&postcount=5353), but this results in an blurry image IMO.
Also remember to force 16xAF through the driver in Witcher 2, guys :)

"Ubersampling" fails miserably in scenes with lots of dynamic lighting and alpha textures (irregardless of whether sharpening is enabled or not)
This is most likely due to a cheap downsampling filter used by the game.

AvP 2010 really looks amazing at 3840x2400 with enhanced 2xSGSSAA ;)

Whoa, that's awesome! Quite amazing how fast the AvP runs on these settings. I guess you can utilize both of your 780s? ;)
Have you also tested the combination of 2160p and FXAA/SMAA? I'm just curios how big the FPS drop is compared to proper AA.

Personally I think 3840x2400@1920x1200 with driver FXAA looks significantly better than the "Ubersampling+1.5xDS+MLAA" combination, I was previously using in Witcher 2.
Ingame "sharpening" can of course be disabled by setting "AllowSharpen=0" in User.ini (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10055171&postcount=5353), but this results in an blurry image IMO.
Also remember to force 16xAF through the driver in Witcher 2, guys :)

"Ubersampling" fails miserably in scenes with lots of dynamic lighting and alpha textures (irregardless of whether sharpening is enabled or not)
This is most likely due to a cheap downsampling filter used by the game.
FXAA + DS is also a little bit better in motion. However Ubersampling + MLAA is still sharper, even if you deactivate sharpening (thx for the tipp!). I'm going to correct a few things in my post, some aspects are technical wrong. E.g. Ubersampling applies 2x2 OGSSAA and not 1.5x1.5. You can even use higher Supersampling if you increase the UberSampling setting (y).

Yep, AvP is perfectly optimized for SLI.
I get 99% usage on both GPUs even at lower settings ;)
No, I didn't try FXAA or SMAA in this game, but most likely the performance hit is quite small compared to SGSSAA.

"Ubersampling" has a performance hit close to that of 2x2 OGSSAA, but certainly doesn't look as good as proper "resolution scaling" :biggrin:
At 3840x2400, the slight blur induced from driver-FXAA is very negligible IMO.

[DaTraS]

Einer schon Bits für Divinity: Original Sin gefunden?

Das Profil ist ja leider ziemlich leer (AA / SLi) und die Engine wurde anderweitig nur für Dragon Commander genutzt, wo bisher nix bekannt / gesucht (?) wurde...

Any blur downsampling w/FXAA from anything beyond 1620p is almost always negligible :tongue:

But , without sharpening it only seems blurry probably because you are so used to their oversharpened crap. It was what was making TW3 look like ass in the first several months after reveal. WAY too sharp

I have moved my AA list "update" post: #5949 (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10286959&postcount=5949)

[Blade II]

Excellent work SLIKnight! Looks like it's really time to update the list ;). I hope to get a working build of my database by the end of July. That might help a little bit.
BTW: Can you tell me how good Downsampling scales in Witcher 2 on your SLI setup? It would be especially interesting if it is faster or slower than Ubersampling (See my Witcher 2 post). Thanks :)

(a rather quick look)

SGSSAA: 0x000012C1

The game uses CryEngine 3 and (seems to be) limited to DX9. At least it makes using SGSSAA a lot easier and our Crysis 2 Bit works fine here. InGame (Post) Anti-Aliasing should be disabled! It might be also useful to lower shader and object details to medium. This greatly improves performance (shader) and reduces aliasing on surfaces (object detail). Of course the overall graphics detail decreases noticeable. The games config file can be found in (C:\Users\[...]\Saved Games\My Games\WarfaceWest\game.cfg) but is decrypted.

My personal opinion: I haven't played the game yet but the hideout/training level is quite disappointing regarding graphics. If you consider that the game uses CE3 and the same developers made Crysis I expected a lot more. Let's see what online gameplay offers ;).

[MrBonk]

Warface seems too little too late. They announced the game years and years ago and it didn't come out outside of russia until not so long ago. And then it required to be played in a browser or somecrap.

I played in the Russian beta way back and really enjoyed it . But I think they missed their chance with that one

SLI scaling in Witcher 2 at 3840x2400 with FXAA, 16xAF and "Maximum pre-rendered frames=2" forced in the driver is completely perfect @98-99% usage on both GPU's, using these settings in my "User.ini" file:

This means, that your comparison screenshots for single GPU mode also holds up for SLI systems, i.e. Ubersampling needs to be increased to ridiculous levels to produce the same IQ as 2x2 driver downsampling.
My User.ini file is tweaked for "true" ULTRA settings, since the configurator is still semi-broken and doesn't put all the correct variables in this file:

Thank you so much! :) I've already edited my post a few days ago but totally forgot to write back. Sorry!

According to the system requirements the game doesn't use a DirectX 9 renderer anymore, so forcing anti aliasing through the driver isn't possible. If the game supports MSAA you can enhance it to SGSSAA (Example with Anno 1404 (http://abload.de/image.php?img=anno38s92.jpg)). If not, Downsampling is the only option but performance loss is very high.

HBAO+ bits information in Tribes: Ascend
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been doing extensive HBAO+ testing in Tribes: Ascend (http://www.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/home/sidebar/tribes-download).
As is often the case with many recent UE3 titles, only "0x0000002F" gives an overall satisfactory result in Tribes.

Alternatively does "0x00000020" apply a very strong effect in this game, but unfortunately it bleeds through several game elements such as fog, smoke etc.
The only other useful DX9 AO flag in this game is "0x00000024", which results in a quite nice and subtle HBAO+ effect especially on distant terrain.
Sadly "24" can't be recommended either as a "complete" HBAO+ solution, since it doesn't apply any AO effect indoors.

Final notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"0x0000002F" is by far the best AO solution in Tribes: Ascend.
It applies a decent AO effect both indoors and outdoors, without flickering on/off or causing any significant bleeding issues.
I have also included relevant sections of my "tribes.ini" and "TribesInput.ini" files, which can be found in your "\My Documents\My Games\Tribes Ascend\TribesGame\Config" folder.
Please ensure, that you have "AmbientOcclusion=False" set in the [SystemSettings] section of tribes.ini to disable ingame SSAO ;)

[MrBonk]

I have figured out a better flag for SGSSAA with Street Fighter IV. I only tested this with the benchmark so I have no idea whether this works with the updated newer versions of the game. I hope so! :(

Kann mir jemand erklären, was es mit der 16:9-Limitierung einiger AA-Bits auf sich hat? Ich hab's nun bei MXGP und MX vs. ATV Reflex erlebt, dass AA nur mit diesem Seitenverhältnis funktioniert und bei 16:10 einfach gar keine Glättung erfolgt. Was sind die technischen Hintergründe? :confused:

Bit #27 zusätzlich ermöglicht AA auch bei 16:10 Auflösungen, welche Bits hast du den verwendet?
Dürfte wohl mit den untersch. Texture-Größen zu tun haben bzw. wie die einzelnen AA-Funktionen implementiert wurden. Da AA-Bits aber undokumentierte NVAPI-Features sind, wird man nur schwer mehr Infos bekommen.

[Raff]

Ich hatte das Problem mit den Bits:

0x004000C1 (MX vs. ATV Reflex)
0x080012C0 (MXGP/WRC 4)

Wo muss diese ominöse #27 hin? :)

1. Hexbit auswählen
2. Den markierten Knopf drücken
3. Haken bei Bit #27 setzen
4. Der Hexwert sollte von 0x004000C1 auf 0x084000C1 wechseln, sprich nach dem 0x0 wird eine 8 gesetzt.
5. Apply & Close

0x080012C0 (MXGP/WRC 4) hat entsprechend schon das Bit #27 gesetzt. Einige Spiele (bspw. Mirror's Edge) benötigen zwingend eine echte 16:9 Auflösung, die man über den Treiber per Custom Resolution erzwingen kann.

[Blaire]

Hat zwar nur indirekt mit AA-Bits zu tun, aber ich wollte noch drauf hinweisen, es existiert noch ein versteckter 64xS Hybrid-Modus im GeForce Treiber, welcher sich im NV Inspector "AA_MODE_METHOD_MIXEDSAMPLE_64X" schimpft.
Dieser funktioniert allerdings nur unter OpenGL, setzt sich zusammen aus 4xMSAA und 16x OG-(SSAA), der normale 32xS kam ja noch mit 8xMSAA sowie 4x OG-(SSAA) aus.
Gut soviele Games gibts nicht mehr für OpenGL, aber könnte vieleicht für den ein oder anderen Retro-Klassiker interessant sein. :)

MrBonk did some HBAO+ (http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4873613&postcount=662) and SGSSAA (http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4873550&postcount=661) testing in the DX9 mode of Far Cry 3.

Today I continued this work, and found that "0x004010C1" is sufficient for beautiful SGSSAA in this game.
I noticed no visual or performance differences between "0x004010C1" and "0x004012C1" ;)

The "0x004010C1" flag is not suitable when using "Post FX=Low" ingame, since this preset uses a reduced backbuffer resolution (DepthDownsample="1").
In this scenario, 0x004010C5 (https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/544701/geforce-drivers/petition-for-directx-11-anti-aliasing-driver-profiles/post/4264995/#4264995) is the only option for SGSSAA.

Regarding HBAO+, your best options in this game are "0x00000019" or "0x0000001F".
Unfortunately these profiles have certain issues, especially when looking through the ingame camera.
Instead of using driver-forced AO in FC3, I recommend setting SSAOLevel="6" in your GamerProfile.xml file, which is located in "\My Documents\My Games\Far Cry 3".
This will provide DX9 AO quality equal or superior to DX11 HDAO, and is the best and least problematic solution in FC3 IMO.

In order to avoid blurring and other issues with forced DX9 SGSSAA, it is important disable certain visual effects such as "Motion Blur", "Depth of Field", "FXAA" and so on.
The only way of accomplishing this is to manually edit GamerProfile.xml, and make the file "Read-only" afterwards.
Here are my full settings, including ingame settings, GamerProfile.xml and NVIDIA Inspector:

Please note, that I'm using the "0x02502C05" DX9 SLI profile in FC3, since SLI bit #20 is needed to get full scaling: Far Cry 3 performance issues! (GeForce forums) (https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/525060/pc-games/far-cry-3-performance-issues-/2/)
I have also manually added these lines of code to GamerProfile.xml:

<Post>
<quality GameDepthOfField="0" CinematicDepthOfField="0" FXAALevel="0" MotionBlur="0" id="ultrahigh" />
</Post>

This tells the game to disable FXAA, motion blur and all types of DoF under the "Post FX=Ultra" preset.

I guess somewhere within these files there you may find the fxaa shader:(

Background information and .ini tweaking in BioShock Infinite
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unlike its two predecessors BioShock 1 & 2 (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9254703&postcount=2348), SGSSAA can't be forced in BioShock Infinite since it is DX11 only.
This means, that we are stuck with using the ingame FXAA setting combined with driver downsampling.
When running "Ultra" settings at very high resolutions, the texture streaming system of BI can cause stuttering and may result in high detail textures not loading properly.

There is however a relatively simple solution to this problem, i.e. increase the size of the texture cache the game uses to load textures into.
What really interests us here is the "PoolSize" variable located in "XEngine.ini".
It should be adjusted according to available VRAM, following the formula #GB VRAM x 600 (http://67.227.255.239/forum/showthread.php?t=529440) = 3 x 600 = 1800 for 3GB VRAM.
For a smooth, stutter free experience at 3K or 4K resolutions, I also recommend a few other .ini file tweaks:


XCompat.ini:

[Configuration]
bInitializeShadersOnDemand=TRUE (Replace all instances of "bInitializeShadersOnDemand=FALSE")

XEngine.ini:

[TextureStreaming]
PoolSize=1800 (Use the "-ReadTexturePoolFromIni" launch parameter in Steam)

[SystemSettings]
VsyncTo60WhenUnder30=True
bInitializeShadersOnDemand=TRUE

[FullScreenMovie]
;StartupMovies=2KLogoSweep720p2997
;StartupMovies=IrrationalLogoTest
;StartupMovies=UE3AnimatedLogo_ProRes

XUI.ini:

[GFxUIEngine]
MaxResolutionUpScale=0.8 (Scales the HUD)

XUserOptions.ini:

[XCore.XUserOptionsManager]
MaxUserFOVOffsetPercent=28.570000 (Increases the maximum of the ingame FOV slider to 100 degrees)

All of the .ini files mentioned above can be found in your "My Documents\My Games\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config" folder.
Please note, that I have "commented out" three of the introductory movies played at game startup in the [FullScreenMovie] section of XEngine.ini.
This will prevent those particular movies from playing, but to disable all introductory movies we need to do some more advanced tweaking:

1) Go to "\steamapps\common\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Movies"
2) Rename or delete "AMDLogo720p.bik".
3) Download the blank .bik (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=49151&d=1406305448) file, I have attached to this post
4) Extract the .bik included in "BI_blank_bik.zip" to the location of the original "AMDLogo720p.bik" file.
5) Voila, no more annoying introductory movies in BioShock Infinite :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Settings and screenshot gallery
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally I'm running at 3840x2400 with all "Ultra" settings, except that I have reduced "Dynamic Shadows" to "High" and changed the "Post Processing" setting to "Alternate".
These two changes are simply done as a matter of personal preference, and not really for performance reasons.

Setting "Dynamic Shadows" to "Very High" or "Ultra" will enable DX11 contact hardening shadows, which I find to be a little overdone and fuzzy-looking in BioShock Infinite.
And "Alternate" post processing looks significantly better than "Normal" IMO, but is also more demanding:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=52118352&postcount=1954

Without further ado, I will include my full settings and NVIDIA Inspector profile:

These settings are of course combined with all the tweaks mentioned in the above "BioShock Infinite .ini tweaks" spoiler.
Under these conditions, I get a smooth 50-65 FPS ingame on my 780 GTX SLI setup with 98-99 % usage on both GPU's.

Nimm für SGSSAA einfach immer 0x204412C1. Macht komplett keinen Sinn, an Bits zu sparen, so lange es keine offenkundigen Probleme wie Blur oder schlechtere Performance als mit DS gibt. 16:9 nicht vergessen.
Für MSAA sieht das natürlich anders aus.

Versuch mal "0x006000C1" für Binary Domain und MSAA und SGSSAA.
Edit: Hab die AA-Bits nochmal geupdatet... (MSAA + Transparency Supersampling funktionieren damit
- SGSSAA (nativ 2x, 4x und 8xSGSSAA wirken etwas blurry)
Hybriden aus 8xMS + 2x/4x SGSSAA bzw. 4xMS + 2x SGSSAA liefern ein schärferes Bild.

Wichtig noch zu erwähnen.
-Es gibt leichte Glitches/Ränder an der Spielfigur, lässt sich nicht vermeiden.
-Ältere OGSSAA bzw. Hybrid Modis funktionieren nicht!

Background information on SLI & AA modes in Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter & The Second Encounter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I decided to revisit Serious Sam HD: TFE & TSE, and optimize the latest versions of these games for optimal IQ and performance on my 780 GTX SLI setup.
A long time ago I did some SLI testing using my old 480 GTX SLI setup, but a few things have changed since then: #726 (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9578285&postcount=726), #608 (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9504655&postcount=608)

First and foremost, enhancing the ingame MSAA setting with SGSSAA doesn't work in the latest version of TSE (206584), but still works reasonably well in TFE (206580).
As an alternative to SGSSAA in TSE, I recommend setting the ingame "Rendering Pixel Ratio" slider to its far right position (100%), which is equivalent to using 1.5x1.5 downsampling.
The default value for RPR is 50%, which is the same as no SSAA/downsampling.
If you have the GPU power for it, I suggest combining ingame RPR with driver downsampling for the best possible IQ.
Alternatively, you might want to follow the advice given by "MrBonk" in this post: #5966 (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10302012&postcount=5966)

Additionally, DX9 SLI bit #30 is also needed to get optimal performance in TFE.
I noticed no problems with bit #30 in TFE using 337.88 WHQL, only a performance increase in some scenes :)
This means "0x42C00005" is the best SLI solution for both TFE and TSE.
Unfortunately there are still drops in GPU usage when moving through water in TFE/TSE, but this is a known problem with the Serious Engine 3 used in these games, and cannot be fixed using SLI bits :(

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Settings and screenshots
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As mentioned above, enhanced SGSSAA works quite well in TFE.
It does fail around torches, and for that reason I am combining it with Rendering Pixel Ratio=100%.
Here are some comparison screenshots of MSAA and SGSSAA (these are taken with RPR set to 80%, since I was using that at the time):

8xMSAA (RPR=0.8)|8xSGSSAA (RPR=0.8)|GPU Settings|NVIDIA Inspector
http://abload.de/thumb/samhd_tfe1_rpr80_8xms0rjsh.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=samhd_tfe1_rpr80_8xms0rjsh.png)|http://abload.de/thumb/samhd_tfe1_rpr80_8xsgipji9.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=samhd_tfe1_rpr80_8xsgipji9.png)|http://abload.de/thumb/tfe_gpu_settingsm4kc6.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=tfe_gpu_settingsm4kc6.png)|http://abload.de/thumb/tfe_inspectorykjuy.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=tfe_inspectorykjuy.png)


In TSE, enhancing with SGSSAA does nothing except lower performance and apply a negative LOD bias, which creates additional aliasing.
For that reason, I am now using a combination of 4xMSAA, Rendering Pixel Ratio=100% and driver downsampling from 2880x1800 to 1920x1200 (2.25xDS), which gives a very decent result IMO.
To fully illustrate the problem with enhanced SGSSAA in TSE, I have made a few comparisons:

8xMSAA (RPR=0.8)|8xSGSSAA (RPR=0.8)|8xMSAA (RPR=1)|2.25xDS + 4xMSAA (RPR=1)

Meinst du 204412C1? Ja gut hätte ich auch erwähnen können ;D

Geenau.
Wenn das Bit keinen Effekt zeigt, kann mans nämlich gleich komplett vergessen.

[MrBonk]

Argh... really true, they are too strong side-effects and therefore not an option. Alternative Bits also not really exist. --> Downsampling ftw
Yeah, it's really frustrating.

What's frustrating with Downsampling too is that we are limited to 2x2 driver. But on top of that, for whatever reason, the shadow system in game or some secondary SSAO system (That is not disableable) looks a bit worse at high resolutions.


Another thing is that the 46 and 6xxxc1 flags would not work for AA at 1600x900 or 1366x768, only 1920x1080 that I had tested. Even stranger, is that the same goes for HBAO+.

I am in the process of trying to figure out how to get it to work with GeDoSaTo so we can get better AA. Downside of that is that HBAO+ won't work.

[MrBonk]

Also: I played with enhanced 8xSGSSAA quite a bit myself in SSHD, the only thing it sucked at was simply missing a lot of elements (Like foliage) and didn't work amazingly though decent.

A better solution is to actually 2x2 downsample, use 4xMSAA enhanced to 2xTrSSAA with "Antialiasingtransparency=2" in one of the CFG files

And then use driver FXAA on top of that.
(Heck , now with GeDoSaTo, you may be able to get even better results)
With custom flags working for HBAO+ now, i'm thinking I might go back to try various functions to get it to function correctly in TFE,TSE and BFE

2x2 Driver downsampling + 4xMSAA+Enhanced 4xTrSSAA + FXAA

http://i.minus.com/ibmEs3znBXwVk6.png


If you have super hardware, you can also try 2x2 downsampling+max RPR (Which IIRC is actually only 1.5x1.4997 =~2.25xSSAA near equivalent of 1280x720 to 1920x1080, take a look at this 1800p shot with the max enabled http://i.minus.com/ibpcy4JmCpoBgW.jpg 4800 is 1.5x of 3200 , 2696 is 1.497x of 1800)

Hat jemand funktionierende Bits für Sacred 3 (http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Sacred-3-PC-231266/Specials/Technik-Test-Benchmarks-1130647/) gefunden? :) Das Spiel bietet von Haus nur FXAA (unter DX9).

MfG,

Wie kann man denn den DX9 Modus aktivieren? Bei mir ist standardmäßig DX11 aktiv.

Tweaking, input lag and AA modes in Serious Sam 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Serious Sam 3, it is possible to either force driver SGSSAA with the "0x000002C1" flag or simply enhance the ingame MSAA setting.
Unfortunately neither of these options affect vegetation, and result in additional aliasing due to the driver LOD adjustment: Guru3D AA thread (#1955) (http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4804447&postcount=1955)

IMO this is not a big deal, since SS3 has such a wide range of ingame AA settings.
At the "Ultra" preset, 4xMSAA and FXAA=Ultra are enabled.
If this is insufficient, the game also has an ingame OGSSAA setting ("Super-Sample Antialiasing" under Performance -> GPU Speed -> GPU Settings)
Setting this to "High (4x)" should be equivalent to using 2x2 downsampling.

SS3 can have a slight problem with input lag, especially in SLI mode.
This issue can however be heavily reduced or even completely fixed by adjusting a few ingame control and gameplay options.
The first step is to enable "Mouse Smoothing" and "Fixed Crosshair" and disable "Mouse Acceleration" under the "Keyboard and Mouse" options section.
To get rid of the last bit of mouse "weirdness", I recommend disabling "View Bobbing" under "Game Options".
These mouse options are also optimal in Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter & The Second Encounter.

In addition to the tweaks mentioned above, I also highly recommend disabling "Autosave" under "Game Options" as well as setting "Color Scheme" to "Vivid" under the "Graphics Options" menu.
The auto save system of SS3 is very annoying, and can actually also cause additional stuttering etc.
Just remember to quick save frequently after disabling auto save (F6).

Another very important setting is "Max 3D Rendering MPIX", which is located under "GPU settings".
I highly recommend setting it to "Unlimited", or the game will be limited to render at no more than 1920x1080 (~2 megapixels).

Finally "+men_bShowIntroCutscene 0" (without quotes) should be added to your Steam launch option line.
This will disable the annoying introductory movie played at game startup.

Full settings and screenshot gallery
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to the power of my 780 GTX SLI setup, I am able to use both 8xMSAA and 4xSSAA at 1920x1200, with the "Ultra" preset tweaked for even better IQ.
Here is a small screenshot gallery of the final result (all relevant ingame settings are included in the "Serious Sam 3 settings" spoiler):

I'm currently playing the game as well.
To reduce input lag, I set prerendered frames to 1 in driver. It probably reduces performance by some percent, but the game definitely reacts more responsively.
fps aren't too high here (780 Ti@1,24Ghz, 1440p, 2xSSAA + 2xMSAA + FXAA), but it looks nice and is playable.
I wasn't very happy with results at 1080p, couldn't ignore POM shimmering. With 1440p it's still far from perfect, but I can concentrate on playing much better.
Oh well, I'd like to have 4k and temporal SMAA like in Infamous for PS4...

[Neobis]

Habe jetzt nicht so die Ahnung, deshalb frage ich einmal hier nach. Auf der ersten Seite habe ich keinen Eintrag zu dem Spiel Unreal gefunden. Meine Version läuft mit DX 9 und dafür müsste es doch eigentlich Bits für geben. Oder suche ich nur falsch? Schon einmal danke für euer Verständnis. :redface:

[aufkrawall]

Da überhaupt keine Post- oder Fullscreen-Effekte zum Einsatz kommen, sollte das Resultat schon ohne Flags optimal sein.
Zum Spaß kannst du aber auch einfach 0x204412C1 nehmen.

[Neobis]

Die Ini Werte habe ich bis zum Anschlag aufgebohrt und das ganze rennt dann noch zusätzlich mit dem schweren Texture Update. Weiterhin rennt das Spielchen Butterweich mit 60 FPS in 3840x2160 Bildpunkten. :) Getsern habe ich einmal die FPS Begrenzung abgeschaltet und da lief das Spiel durchschnittlich mit 190 FPS vor mir weg. Darum dachte ich, es gibt noch etwas zu verbessern. Morgen werde ich einmal den DX 10 Renderer von Kentie benutzen! Aber danke für deinen Tip. Den werde ich nachher einmal verwenden.

Sounds interesting.
But with my adjusted mouse settings, I get close to zero input lag, even in 2-way SLI mode.
Reducing pre-rendered frames isn't really necessary IMO, and most likely will hurt SLI scaling ;)
With the settings described in the above post, I get around 45-60 FPS with 98-99% usage on both GPU's and around 2000-2200 MB VRAM in use.

[MrBonk]

I think the IL in BFE is just because of how the game is made.

Sometimes the devs are active on the forums and steam forums. Perhaps could ask there?

Also: I'm starting to think all of your tweak guides should be added as links to respective game pages on www.pcgamingwiki.com

I have posted a new SLI/SGSSAA guide for "Verdun" here:

anyone got the "Mind Path to Thalamus" AA bits?
its Unreal Engine 3 or 4. im not shure right now...

Thanks,

[aufkrawall]

Sounds interesting.
But with my adjusted mouse settings, I get close to zero input lag, even in 2-way SLI mode.

Hm, with mouse smoothing, input lag feels higher to me.
I fully disabled mouse acceleration in Windows via reg hack, dunno if this makes any difference. In some games it can.
I'm having my MX518 at 1600dpi and reduced mouse sensivity as much as possible in-game. Feels best to me.

Btw., one can use Direct3D11 or OpenGL in the game by defining a start parameter:
"+gfx_strAPI Direct3D11" or "+gfx_strAPI OpenGL"
This fixes anti aliasing for alphatests, so one can use TrSSAA.
Also SGSSAA works, but you have to disable AO to avoid corruption and one can notice that the in-game AA tends to fail with bloom. Thus it's still not an option to me.
If we had DX11 AA bits... :redface:

[SLIKnight]

I didn't know about DX11 TrSSAA/SGSSAA in SS3, very cool stuff :)
But both Serious Sam 3 and Sam HD: The Second Encounter definitively feels smoother to me with "Mouse smoothing" enabled.
Perhaps this is only the case in SLI mode under certain GPU limited settings?
I am using a Logitech G5 laser mouse at 800 DPI btw.

And yes, we REALLY need DX11 AA bits by now.
It would be such a shame, if the AA thread slows down or dies out because of such a "basic" driver limitation :(

Got some screenshots of this? Would love to see some comparisons.

Particularly pertaining to the gauntlet for example. Nothing is going to fix the aliasing on that, and/or the undersampling of the bloom buffer for objects like that. As they are deliberately lower resolution.

This is as answered by a developer I asked once.

[Atma]

Seit geraumer Zeit verursacht SGSSAA in Diablo 3 mit dem offiziellen Bit 0x004412C1 sehr starken Blur bei mir. Kann das jemand gegentesten?

0x004412C1 mit 4x MSAA + TrSSAA:

[DaTraS]

Ich kann mich entsinnen, dass Diablo III mit SGSSAA nie blurfrei war.
Was mir aber sowohl mit den Bits 4412C1 und 441241 aufgefallen ist, dass es bei TrSSAA unschöne Grafikfehler z.B. bei Portalen gibt.
Dort kann man bspw. Spiegelungen der NPCs sehen.

Wenn ich mich recht erinner funktioniert nur das 400xxx Bit (siehe Startpost), aber das blurred selbst mit TrSSAA...

[aufkrawall]

8x blurt auch?
Kannst nur per SweetFX nachschärfen (sofern Anti-Cheat nicht meckert), aggressivere LOD-Werte können ein wenig lindern (LOD-Verschiebung ist doch an?). Andere Bits werdens nicht bringen.
Mit 109ppi siehts hier übrigens schon nicht mehr so schlimm aus.

Mit 8x SGSSAA blurt es genauso und LOD-Verschiebung ist natürlich auch an. Würde ja gerne GeDoSaTo nehmen weil es seit der Beta 10 auch ohne Grafikfehler in D3 funktioniert, jedoch ist die Mauserkennung dann völlig im Eimer, egal welche Kompatibilitätseinstellungen ich in GeDoSaTo probiere :frown:.

Muss ich wohl mit SMAA von SweetFX leben :/

[aufkrawall]

Schon SoftTh probiert?

Die "0x00441241" welche im Startpost gelistet sind, tun es auch nicht? Mit den "0x004412C1" greift SGSSAA halt aufs gesamte Bild, auch die Schriften (HUD) werden geglättet.

Außer, dass die farbigen Umrandungen bei 0x00441241 nicht geglättet werden, gibt es keine Unterschiede zum offiziellen Bit. Der starke Blur ist bei beiden vorhanden.

Noch nicht.

[Blaire]

Diablo3 ist in der Tat ein schwieriger Fall, eine Herausforderung den besten Kompromiss zu finden. :) Probier mal die "0x005412C1" + zusätzlich den AA-Fix ob sich etwas ändert. Ingame-AA sollte natürlich auch deaktiviert bleiben.

Edit: Es gibt keine Alternative zur offiziellen Variante, wenn du auf optimale Bildglättung wert legst, etwas nachschärfen sollte da eigentlich ausreichen. "0x00441241" funktionieren mittlerweile auch nicht mehr richtig, führt gebietsweise zu Matsch (im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes) dafür müssen neue Patches gesorgt haben, das war in früheren Versionen so noch nicht.

Nach vielen Tests mit AA Bits, LumarSharpen etc. hab ich es nun aufgegeben. GeDoSaTo wäre die Lösung, wenn die Mauszeigererkennung nicht völlig im Eimer wäre. Habe auch da mit zig Kompatibilitätseinstellungen probiert doch nichts half. UI funktioniert ohne Probleme, doch beim Laufen erkennt das Spiel die Mausposition überhaupt nicht mehr. Muss man wohl mal Durante anschreiben und fragen ob/was sich da machen lässt.

[CrimsoN]

Also wenn ich das richtig versteh kann bei DIII AA vergessen ?

Außer SMAA und das inGame FXAA+ Downsampling geht wohl echt nicht mehr.

P.s.: MSAA kann man doch per Treiber anschalten oder seh ich das Falsch ?

[aufkrawall]

Geht nicht perfekt, siehe (auch nicht perfektes) Alternativbit für MSAA im Startpost.

Schmeißt mal den 1080p-Schrott weg. :tongue:
Der war mir schon ohne AA mit 24" zu matschig und hatte Artefakte bei Schriften in Kauf nehmend per Monitor-OSD nachgeschärft.

[aufkrawall]

Risen 3: Titan Lords
0x000012C1 für SGSSAA
Im Gegensatz zu Risen 2, nach vielen Stunden bisher keinerlei Probleme mit der Helligkeit. Dass die AO etwas schwächer mit SSAA wirkt, ist normal. Der AA-Fix sollte natürlich aktiviert sein.
Wie schon bei Risen 1 kann es einen farbigen Rand geben. Gegen den kann man leider nichts tun. Quickload kann jedoch Linderung verschaffen. Ich würde empfehlen, ihn zu ignonieren lernen. ;)

1xAA:

Nvidia Inspector Einstellungen:
http://abload.de/thumb/r3inspectorkyu3j.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=r3inspectorkyu3j.png)

Alternativ geht auch 0x000012C5, das ist etwas schärfer und günstiger. Die Glättung ist allerdings schlechter, versagt etwa bei DoF (sieht man auf dem Screenshot weniger gut):
http://abload.de/thumb/4xc5nysx5.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=4xc5nysx5.png)

Dass sich die Performance ~drittelt, ist übrigens normal. Nicht, dass hier wieder die 50% rumgeistern. Die gibts nicht, wenn 4xSSAA perfekt greift.

Entsprechend ist 5120x2880@1440p mit SoftTh noch wesentlich teurer:
http://abload.de/thumb/softthibs07.png (http://abload.de/image.php?img=softthibs07.png)
Hier ist noch in-game FXAA an. Was man auf dem Screenshot nicht sieht, ist, dass das Gras immer noch stark flimmert, im Gegensatz zu SGSSAA.

Unter "Risen 3\data\ini\ConfigDefault.xml" kann man noch PostProcessing EdgeAA="false" setzen (vielleicht schärfer mit SGSSAA?), genau wie FPSLimitToRefreshRate="false", damit man mit maximalen fps spielen kann.
Außerdem sollte die Ambient Occlusion ebenfalls per Config Tweak auf Stufe 4 gesetzt werden. Beschreibung dazu und weitere Tweaks:
hier (http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=10315434#post10315434)

[MrBonk]

Just an FYI guys, shouldn't be using SoftTH for downsampling anymore. Use GeDoSaTo.

[aufkrawall]

It causes total visual corruption in Risen 3...

[MrBonk]

Is a known issue ATM.

Using SoftTH imo though has never had decent results.

You can enable SGSSAA with "12C1" but you have to use the standard renderer, the graphics look crap though and there is a gray outline on your tank.

http://i.imgur.com/0vrKBNzl.jpg (http://i.imgur.com/0vrKBNz.jpg)

You are supposed to be able to remove it by following this (http://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanks/comments/1m8tso/nvidia_real_anti_aliasing_for_wot/) guide but it didn't work for me.

They must of broke when SGSSAA support when they upgraded the renderer.

[labecula]

Hm, ich kann nirgends einen standard Renderer einstellen. Aber wenn es so oder so irgendwie Crap aussieht, ist es wohl etwas für die Egtwickler und nicht die user es zu lösen...

Beziehe das mal nicht auf dich bitte !

Hab das hier schon paar mal gesagt das WOT egal mit welchen Bits nicht geht !!

Nutze einfach FXAA/SMAA per SweetFX FX mit etwas Schärfefilter und dann schaut es ganz gut aus, InGame AA kannst auch anlassen.

Was du noch anschalten kannst ist HBAO+, siehe dazu link.
http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/grafikkarten/328894-sammelthread-hbao-kompatibilitaetsbits-2.html#post6435782

Sonst hast bei WOT echt gelitten es gibt da keine Methode die hilft, selbst Downsamping hilft null, weil dann das ganze HUD umlesbar wird selbst bei nur ein paar Prozent mehr auf der x.y akse.
Ich hoffe das Subfilter bald im Spiel auch mal in die mal ergänzt wird denn zu SSAA.


P.s.:

BR4DDERS

Das ist nur das Traniges Level das hat mit dem normalen Spiel leider nix zu tun. Weil wenn du das Normale Spiel spielst ist jeder Effekt leider verfolgen.

Dann leg ich die Grütze erstmal wieder zur Seite. Das ist einfach unzumutbar, wenn man das über einen großen FullHD zockt. Danke.
