Graphical Artifacts with AA Enabled

Recommended Posts

I get some very odd artifacts when I enable Anti-Aliasing. Here's some pictures:

With AA Enabled (2x, but it will do it at any level):

Specs:

Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4.4 GHz

AMD Radeon HD5850 (Not OC'd)

8GB DDR3-1600 RAM

ArmA 3 is installed on an SSD as well.

I had this issue with ArmA 2 as well.

never mix AA with FXAA

Why do you say this?

I have both AA and FXAA with no problem.

because its contradictory because FXAA blur the edges to get rid of the jagged things, and AA wants to sharp object to get rid of the jagged things, see my point?

Your opinion, still both options can be enabled together and it shouldn't produce artifacts, which was the report from the OP.

i know the artifacts shouldn't be there, i tested it with AA and FXAA enabled no problems at all, might be your pc or your nvidia control panel options.

OP has AMD, me and EmirSc have NVidia. I would suggest installing latest catalyst drivers and using defaults on the catalyst control menu.

are they still there when you go for max quality in catalyst control panel? the default settings are lower.

But did he try with AA and no ATOC...? Or when he runs with AA his Vidram is screaming about a early death...

or does he have "Surface Format Optimization" on? Thats in CCC.

I have the same issue just a bit more pronounced. If I turn AA off it goes away but who wants super harsh edges. I have even uninstalled all graphics drivers and it still does this.

AMD 6950

Turned SFO off in CCC.

Switched to High Quality for textures in CCC.

Issue still presents itself, better pictures below:

this is the only game that occurs? might be a power supply issue or even a video card issue.

mess around with your texture filtering etc. in your graphics settings in game AND on your drivers. had this issue with minecraft when I had a certain setting turned on and it looked exactly the same.

Also AA + FXAA looks good in this game because this fxaa in the game isnt your normal blur edges fxaa

Sorry to necro this, but I have determined that, after talking to many others, this is an issue related to AMD / ATI video cards.

Yet another reason to go nVidia. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's an AMD issue as much as a potential single card issue. Many people run AMD cards with no problems, including the 5850.
