1920 x 1020 is better than 2560 x 1440

[Imur6]

I'm using 32" monitor that can support up to 2560 x 1440 res.

Today, I changed my resolution to 1920 x 1020 in game, and found that IQ is better than 2560! Is this bug? I'm not sure whether developer would see this thread, but if they would, please check this symptom. I think for the 2560, AA is not applied correctly.

Looks more like that the AA is disabled on this high resolution?  How it looks on Nvidia Cards?

 

I known that the AA is coded different for AMD and Nvidia. I have some Source from AMD and Nvidia how they coded their AA.

hm 1440 looks fine to me with my gtx 780 maybe ill try this.

I think what you are seeing is a lower resolution post-processing effect which looks more pixelated at the higher rez. I have found (as my graphics card is underpowered) that it is the post effects which make or break the visuals.

AA set to 4X for both resolution. I think this is the issue because on other games, like War thunder, Lock on, pixel of 2560 is much fine and of course, IQ looks absolutely better than 1920. 

 

Or, is this only issue for AMD user? Actually, I haven't test this on Nvidia

I run this sim on nVidia GTX Titan at the resolution of 2560 x 1440 and it looks excellent at Ultra preset settings, no jaggies in sight. Before I got this current 32 inch LCD monitor I ran at 1920 x 1080 which was really clean too.

What ,  even the cockpit shadows ?

 

How about aircraft flying in front of clouds ?  Jaggies, white edges ?

 

If so, how so ?

Hm. looks like this is the only issue of AMD family. :-( 

Hope developer fix this issue quickly!

I have same thing - some bugged effect introduced in g2 update. Play on "low" preset - the effect is off there. Radeon 7970

[Dakpilot]

AMD make great video cards, but do not give much support to DX9with their drivers, Nvidia on the other hand support and continue to improve DX9 drivers. It is a simple and unfortunate fact that has been acknowledged and updates from AMD have been requested by Devs hopefully this will be resolved in the future

 

Cheers Dakpilot

Yes, you're right. Low option can solve this issue!  it's only one workaround at this moment

[PreachR]

I'm running it at 1440p, and I'm not getting jaggies, except for like what Hagar mentioned (cockpit shadows and planes going into clouds). I hope they at least add a setting later for cockpit shadow quality.

 

Oh... forgot to mention... my monitor's native resolution is 1080p, so when I run this game higher, it is downsampling (for those who know what that is). I'm not sure how much effect this has on this game, but it usually acts like extra AA. I'm using a GTX 780 (overclocked).

Hi PreachR, As I know, this issue is only happen to ATI graphic card. I think there will be no issue to you as your card is Nvidia.

Looks like it is a AMD only issue at the moment. Just one week for the finial release. Maybe then it runs better on AMD?

I am started to change my Hardware from AMD to Nvidia. After some testing I see that Nvidia made his homework better.

...they could always optimize the game for DX11.... oh or maybe DX12

Did they mention when they will start doing that? I  want to updated my GPU and wanted to switch from Nvidia to AMD, but the DX9 problems with AMD driver is what makes me want to buy the more expensive Nvidia option...

I noticed that things go very wrong with post-processing when the horizontal resolution exceeds 4096, but it's probably not the same issue since your horizontal resolution is less. If you find a way to disable the post proc for example in driver config, you could give it a go and see if it helps. I haven't found the right flags in nVidia settings, but maybe it's easier with ATI.

Dont use ingame AA, seems broken on my end. Specs in my sig.

[Imur6]

As you can see in my sig, I've changed 290x to GTX 980. This issue won't happen any more. 

and I also changed screen to G-sync. Awesome!!!

S!

 

 Quite an investment for such a minor fix But enjoy your new system I got excellent FPS now with the OpenCL 2.0 drivers from AMD. MWO runs VSync on a solid 100fps+ on a single Asus DirectCU II 290X

[Static]

The OpenCL driver is for compute and has no effect unless the software or game is coded to support OpenCL.

[LLv34_Flanker]

S!

 

 I know, but the driver packages are newer than on the WHQL driver

[Static]

The higher numbers do not always determine a newer build, anyways try the 14.41s. Many people from the DCS forums get better performance using them, hence another old ass DX9 based game in 2014.
