Anti Aliasing

Postby Rivers » Mon Feb 23, 2004 5:40 pm

I recently upgraded to a GeForce FX 5900 128mb from a GeForce 4 TI 4200 128mb video card but the anti aliasing seems to be very bad when using FS2K4 I

From those screen shots, it doesn't look like the antialiasing is working at all!

Don't use the antialiasing option in the sim. Turn it off.

MSI don't make the video driver, they probably supplied you with an outdated one.
Go to nvidia.com or guru3d.com and get a decent driver, Forceware (Detonator) 53.03 or 53.06

Set the antialiasing to 4x or 4Sx in the driver settings. Not 8x!

I your frame rates slow down, drop your game screen

That looks a lot better!

AA really hits hard on the high resolutions with nvidia cards.

I didn't realise MSI were modifying the drivers. And the 52 series isn't that old at all.

The new Direct X 9.1 should be out soon, maybe that will improve things as well.

Use graphics card driver from the mfgr as different mfgrs do mod the card and have slightly different drivers.
4x should do the trick.  Good to turn off app anti-aliasing.
