Jaggies in clouds?

[Hopper64]

I have noticed AA works great, but if I do a flyby, I notice a lot of jaggies despite my settings. I don't know if my settings are off, so I am posting them to see what you guys think, plus a screen of my plane with jaggies. Seems as the plane gets closer, it is better of course, but I still think I am missing something in my settings. Thanks for looking over these. Any suggestions appreciated.

This has been discussed in detail already. At the moment there is no solid fix for it. The jaggies are related to the way clouds are rendered (downscaled?), someone on the forum explained it in another thread.

 

Anti-Aliasing does work but looks ugly as hell when flying past clouds.

You could try to reduce it slightly with SMAA injectors, but I personally don't like post-processing AA as it mostly causes some blurring as well.

 

Another minor tip, to improve the rendering of foliage, is to use Adaptive Anti-Aliasing (AMD cards) or SGSSAA (Nvidia).

Thanks. I haven't seen that other thread of course. Where is that SGSSAA in the Nvidia CP? Thanks again.

I think it's under transparency-anti aliasing, set it to supersampling. I'm not sure though since the last Nvidia card I've had was a Geforce GTX 8800.

 

I've made some screenshots comparing between normal MSAA and Adaptive MSAA in the case of my AMD 290. You can easily notice the bigger bushes in between the trees and the denser looking trees and grass.

Well, I honestly can't tell too much difference there. I will experiment with these setting a bit. I appreciate your help.

[Hopper64]

Yes, you were right. I have tried 4xsupersample and it looks much better compared to multisample. Thanks for the help!

Under Anti alias settings try enhance rather than override

 

and set texture filtering-quality to High Quality rather than Quality

 

With your hardware you should be able to go up a few settings with DSR factor if you are using the latest drivers, this will also reduce cloud issue

 

Be wild and try 8X SS the benefits may be more than the slight ? loss in fps you can always go back to 4X

Thanks. I will try those settings.

 

I do have an SLI setup, but I also have a Gsync monitor too, and I don't think the drivers support DSR with SLI + Gsync just yet. It is in the works though.

 

Appreciate the help.
