PPAA on 7850 results in black screen!?

Recommended Posts

Last month I upgraded to a 7850 from a 4890.

Apart from a 25% increase in framerates, the card draws less power and generates less heat.

So I was happy. However last night I tried to activate FXAA by editing the ArmaOA.cfg and changing the parameter PPAA=0 to PPAA=1.

Much to my surprise and disappointment this led to a black screen.

The menu is visible but the 3d render behind is all black.

FYI I'm running 12.3 Cats on Win7-64.

Any ideas?

What happens if you use PPAA=3? (SMAA)

And what is your "PPAA_Level" value set to?

I haven't trued PPAA=3 but I tried with PPAA=1, PPAA_Level=0 as well as PPAA=1, PPAA_Level=1.

Both of these combinations gave me a black screen.

I'll try PPAA=3 tonight.

MadDog: looks like you're right, only SMAA works (via PPAA=3), i.e. FXAA doesn't work...

VirtualVikingX: I tried everything from disabling V-Sync in .cfg, in Cat CC, both, neither and nothing worked

So for the moment I'm sticking with SMAA at High (PPPA=3, PPAA_Level=2).

VirtualViking: Ah! Small but vital detail there. Thanks I will try again tonight.
