Anti Aliasing help!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello

Recently people have been telling me that I need to increase my anti aliasing. How do I do this? I've read the post on Mutleys but it doesn't seem to help, I think reef was using Vista. Could someone please give me a step by step guide on how to get to the settings of a nvidia graphics card on Vista??

Thanks

Dom

	Or you can right click anywhere on your desktop and that will show an option concerning your graphics card control panel. Click on that then you will go into the settings of your graphics card from here. You can then change antialiaising options. You can then change it to about 8x or 16x and sometimes it can be set to just do what FSX wants. (Application controlled) which means it will do whatever FSX suggests.

	Also try updating your graphics driver to the latest available: www.nvidia.co.uk Matt.

	Your best option is to disable AA in the FSX menu. The reason being this setting is one fixed setting for AA, and it uses the CPU to process the information. To get AA in FSX you must then open the control panel for your card and scroll through the settings to the AA. Here, you can set a setting for any particular application. For example, you could have 8x in FS9 and 4x in FSX. Moreover, it lets you choose between supersampling, multisampling etc. Further, this all gets routed through the graphics card instead, increasing the load on the card, and reducing the load on the CPU, which is what you want. For nV cards, the app you want is just called nv control panel I think... It should be under the ordinary control panel window.

	Leave every setting alone, except for the AA. Turn it off. Then, go into the NV control panel and set it there. :)

	Okay, so let me try to sort this out for nVidia users. Last night I managed to get AA working in FS without rolling back the drivers. Use this guide: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=38921 Except if you are using the latest drivers then you can't delete the whole profile, however, if you go to options and click "Allow Overide of Pre-Defined settings" you can turn off enhance in game settings. Try it, it works perfectly for me. Oh and thank Panos95 for the link (stolen off Mutleys Hangar).
