Heavysmekke Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Why don't i see any settings in my preferences to change AA? Its missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagepotato Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Just logged in last night and tried the AA settings. I can't tell that they are working. My FPS doesn't seem to be affected, regardless of the setting (None, Low, High). And I don't seem to notice a visual difference either (though maybe I'm looking at the wrong things to tell). Isn't it supposed to smooth out the jaggies? I've got a 6950. There was a dev tracker post specifically saying that it does not work on 69xx series ati cards and that they are working with them on the issue. In other words, known bug. All you can do right now is sit back and wait if you have a 69xx radeon. Edited January 20, 2012 by savagepotato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevex Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It works for me but the performance hit feels way worse than it should be. My machine is pretty beefy so I don't understand why these things chug so much. But whatevs, not stopping me from playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineria Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) It works with GTX580, no fps drop, but it's still far from what we know as fully in game supported AA. I would rather have FXAA or SMAA with a sharpening filter on the layer between scenery and UI elements than that, all these nasty aliased edges are hurting my eyes. I did try some of the things others posted, like forcing Sparse Grid, but Sparse Grid is to expensive and does more blur over the complete scenery than enhancing the issue which are the edges.

valgar Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I have a ati 5850 card and see no differance when i change. ANy suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagepotato Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I have a ati 5850 card and see no differance when i change. ANy suggestions? Maybe it's broken like it is on the 69xx radeons. Just a guess however. It does seem like ATI users are having more issues with it. I have it on high with GTX580's and it looks great.

JackalDark Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Works great for me, 100 FPS and High AA. GTX 570 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineria Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I have a ati 5850 card and see no differance when i change. ANy suggestions? As I wrote above, the difference is really low, I wonder if it only applies AAx2 or alike. Suggestion? Make Bioware developers play around with SMAA and FXAA together with a sharpening filter.

KSheriff Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm running a 3850 (Yes, I know it's old, but I'm still generally getting 30+ fps) and it's working for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitellius Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Works fine. GTX550TI Now, if only the shadows could be cleaned up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineria Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Works great for me, 100 FPS and High AA. GTX 570 You got starships, right? Take a screenshot of your cockpit windows. I bet there are still jagged edges all over unless you run with some insanely high resolution. It helps on characters, buildings, stairs and rocks but I still see more jaggies than I like, maybe because I have been coding a lot on AA and shaders myself.

rhirne Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Currently, AA works for some and not for others. ATI cards appear to have a driver issue which BW is working with AMD/ATI to resolve. nVidia cards seem to be working fine with the AA setting. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=1797449#edit1797449 AA is disabled for 1 ATI (69xx series) via the game. I'm sure other ATI cards are having issues esp. since the problem is with the ATI driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xploits Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Then there's an exception. Working fine on my HD5700 cards in Crossfire. Same#10CHARS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleano Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Works fine for me GTX 560 ti everything on high including shadows. Min FPS is around 60, avg FPS in the 80's. Edited January 20, 2012 by Kleano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackavaar Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) For me AA seems to smooth out all of the shadows and stops that freaky tree shadow thing in cut scenes, but it has the unfortunate side effect of making the entire screen go black (except for lighting effects, like torches and lamps) every once in a while. My friend turned his on and saw no affect whatsoever. In short, it is still broken as far as I can tell.

nilssen Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yeah. Flickers from time to time but it's not at all as bad as people say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Aarioch- Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 it works great for me on my 8800GTX (yes, old but still powerful). not relevant to discussion...But I love the 8800GTX... best damn card NVidia made. (they based the entire 9000 series after it...) still have mine running in my other computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzan-E Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Works smoothly on my GTX560 - whether in-game or forced. Combined with the forced tweaks posted here a week or so ago, the game's really looking pretty lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poin_Dex_Tenobi Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I have an Nvidia 580gtx. The AA works great, nice goin Bioware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkeos Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 HD5870 here AA works fine in the cinematics, not so fine in normal gameplay. (Both used to work fine in beta). No and low AA give the same result. I had to restart the client after teting without AA for AA to actually be active in game again. Forcing AA through the driver works better for me. The result looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
