Laurreth Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 AMD supposedly fixed AA issues in some games with Catalyst 12.3. While the release notes don't explicitly mention SWOR, they do mention Skyrim, which had an outstanding issue with graphical glitches while AA was enabled in 12.2. Is the issue fixed in a way that allows using AA in the game being re-enabled for the affected cards by now? It's possible to force it in the control center settings, but there are issues with that, one example being a black screen in FMV playback.

Englez Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have a 6970 the AA works fine for me with either in-game settings or forced. Forced still works better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da-Rock Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I had to drop mine to Low so I could see Holovids etc., I still occasionally get a blackscreen on stuff, so I am going to turn it off completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurreth Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 I have a 6970 the AA works fine for me with either in-game settings or forced. Forced still works better though. I have a 6950, and the in-game setting still has no effect. Forcing it through the driver settings "works", but reliably blacks out videos and sometimes causes horrible performance issues so the game runs at ~5 seconds per frame (not a typo, but optimistic), so it's not an option.

Laurreth Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 So I guess it's not coming back then. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 6970 using driver version 11.12 with AA forced to 4x in CCC and have never had a problem that's why I never updated the driver. In fact i have never had any of the problems others have with CTD, patching or anything else. i5 2500K OC @ 4.2 6970 OC @ 950/1425 8 GB Memory Windows 7 64 Bit SP1 Edited May 17, 2012 by blowmedown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurreth Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 It's in 1.3 on PTS now, but the AA options in there don't seem to do much. There's some improvement, but IMO even at the high setting, it still looks way worse than even 2× AA forced in CCC (there are lots and lots of shimmering edges and heavy moirée on high-frequency scenery like stairs), and setting AA to high blacks out video sequences. My issue with forcing it through the driver was mainly that it'd lead to random massive slowdowns mentioned above. I didn't have crashes, but of course having to kill the client isn't smooth operation either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedipwnsauce Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have a 6950 as well (unlocked to 6970) and forcing AA through CCC is the only way for me to get AA in game it has zero effect, but it does affect my other games like say bf3 since i have to put the AA back to default in CCC in order to play or it causes screen artifacts.
