How to turn Anti Aliasing on - Game looks horrible without

Recommended Posts

Considering that 200% fillrate is supposed to be "better than" 4x MSAA, and that MSAA itself is already pretty heavy on performance, I would assume that 200% fillrate will totally murder your GPU, then rape your cat for good measure.

I run at 200% fillrate ;)

Really? Do you have a cat? :D

Well, I guess I stand corrected. What hardware do you have, and what kind of impact does it have on performance (read: FPS drop between 100% and 200% fillrate)?

Better question Placebo: Does 200% remove all/most aliasing?

:)

seriously, are you doing marketing here to tell anyone that your pc can run it at 200% or dont you know, what hardware setting you have?

a detailed list of your system would be nice like:

- cpu

- gfx

- AA/AF settings in your driver

- resolution

- ingame quality settings

- average framerate / framerate when facing 10 tanks, 4 platoons of infantry.

thx

Please remove image tags when quoting, it's a forum rule for a reason. I apologise on behalf of the VB bug.

Perhaps it would be nice but as you're apparently incapable of posting without being aggressively obnoxious I will spend my time on other tasks.

It's not hardware discussion thread. He was asked to tell how fillrate does it's antialiasing job, and he provided pic to let him judge by himself.

Anyway pic does not work for me :|

you mean me?

first of all: i cant see a picture in your smiley thread. or do you mean the smiley itself?

second: obnixious? kind of harsh word. i wanted to express that your comment about the 200% setting does not help us, the community, at all.

well, we talk about AA and its hard not to talk about hardware when you name a hardware feature.

oh and i didnt know that he posted a pic. i only saw a smiley and thought that this is not an appropriate answer for a forum mod. :)

I think... (yes sometimes) Placebo, that Rebel was trying to ask what kinda of specs do you 'need' to run at 200% and at what kinda fps you'd' get at 200% at say 50fps?

:)

edit: Or maybe you'd rather not answer that... must be a bit ofa beast, quad, 6-8GB 1333, RAID, GTX295 x2... ball park??? hehe :)

Rebel@Heart, Once again I remind you not to double post.

We just became aware that pics linked from our albums don't seem to show up for the rest of the users, which seemed to cause some other confusions aswell. :rolleyes:

200% Fillrate is impossible, even with 125% i go under 20 Frames with Ati 4870 OC and 3.4Ghz Quad. (Rest Settings High) @ 1650 and 1000 viewdistance

So i must play with 100% an get 25 Frames in Big Towns when theres trouble.

But i hope Aa will be Patched soon , Thanks for the Info. With AA enabled this game must look SuperNice! I turn down the viewdistance to 500 for that°!

From my experience, you can always force AA through the driver - even on games that don't support it (like EVE Online). The result may not always be good though.

No its not. Perhaps some settings files we can edit?

Is it really a monster PC? I thought it was pretty medium these days :) CPU being the most outdated part, lots of RAM yes but it's so cheap now, even here in Sweden :)

I hated Vista and stuck with XP64 for a long time, even after the first Win7 beta which I tried on a second drive and liked, my XP64 install finally died a couple of weeks ago so I'm now permanently on 7 :)

But how on earth did you manage to get ArmA2 working so well with that setup. I mean, 200% fillrate? (And I shall be a fool and asume that rest of your settings are in medium with 3km viewdistance.)

Somekind of swedish witchcraft again! Someone call the inquisitors!

Hmm don't think there's one in Uppsala, I bought a couple of things from http://se.wesellcd.dk/ good price and service, got my graphics card from there, my recent 4gb ram I got from http://www.xcore.se/ surprisingly better price than anywhere even online :)
