dukenukem. 12 Posted August 10, 2011 Hi guys, I have a HD6950. Have a question about the anti-aliasing settings. The settings disabled, low, normal, high, very high are self-explanatory. What are settings 5,6,7,8 correspond to? Here is a screenshot. Are the 5,6,7,8 AMD specific or does nvidia have them too? Thanks. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajax420 0 Posted August 11, 2011 I believe it's something like this... low=1.5xAA Med=2xAA High=3xAA Very High=4xAA and so on... At least I think that's right. CHECK THIS OUT! FXAA. Different method for smothing jaggy edges.

An alternative as you are running a 6000 Series card. Go to the driver options in the AMD control centre and turn on Morphological Filtering, Turn off AA in game but bump up the 3D rez Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajax420 0 Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Read the WHOLE BIS POST. AMD's MLAA uses allot of system resources. FXAA is a shader filter and uses tiny itty bitty resourses with nearly or better results. There is allot of movement on the method and the creator is fine tuning it for the Arma2 engine pretty much daily. It's worth a forum thread read. I think AMD's Method for AA is the most resources intense of all.(FPS Killer) Edited August 13, 2011 by AJAX420 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukenukem. 12 Posted August 13, 2011 Thanks for the replies, but i'm still not sure what the difference is between the low normal... and the 5,6,7,8 settings... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajax420 0 Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) 5,6,7,8 settings your seeing with the ATI card are Probably using ATI's MLAA. Check this out. http://sites.amd.com/us/game/technology/Pages/morphological-aa.aspx Edited August 13, 2011 by AJAX420 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
