ATI Antialiasing

[=FI=Genosse]

Folks,

 

I've never ever troubles running BOS on my machine GFX-wise yet there's still one thing that still bothers me ...

 

 

As you can see the AA doesn't work properly especially in front of clouds. I've already tried to figure out how to solve this issue yet still without any luck. So, is there any way to get this sorted out with my ATI GFX card?

 

My in-game GFX settings are as follows:

• HIGH
• 1920*1080
• NO Full Sync
• NO VSync
• NO Multi GPU support
• NO SSAO
• NO HDR
• Distant Landscape Detail NORMAL
• FPS Limiter OFF
• Antialiasing 4
• Gamma Correction 1

 

My settings for my AMD Radeon HD 7860 are:

• Anti-aliasing Mode: use application settings
• Anti-aliasing Method: multisampling
• Morphological Filtering: OFF
• Anisotropic Filtering: use application settings
• Texture Filtering Quality: HIGH
• Surface Format Optimization: OFF
• Wait For Vertical Refresh: ALWAYS OFF
• OPenGL Triple Buffering: OFF
• Shader Cache: AMD optimized
• Tessellation Mode: AMD optimized
• Frame Rate Target Control: DISABLED

 

Thank you for your attention and possible replies in advance ...

Apparently this is a limitation of the game engine

 

2 - We do not work on it because it's a native consequence of technology. From other side - this technology provides much more realistic visibility inside the cloud.

Thanks a lot for your reply, m8!

 

So, it seems I can't do much about it, uh?

Since it appears to be a failure of antialiasing what might help is DSR or the ATI equivalent ASR?

But that comes at a big performance hit. I tried it a while ago and can't recall how much it helped this problem. It's just super sampling the image to remove jaggies.

What does get rid of the effect is a 3840x2160 monitor. The new crop of graphics cards make running that sort of resolution much more achievable than last year.

Then I need to start saving some money, I suppose. Thanks again, Sharpe!

I would like to confirm what Sharpe says.  I use no AA at high resolution(5120x2160for now) and for me it is great.  Some may want 2x but for me not needed.  I am using a 40" Samsung TV for my center monitor.  Just be sure it has fast (low) response time if you do go for a T.V.

[SharpeXB]

Yeah typically with 2160p I use no antialiasing at all. First of course because the resolution makes it almost unnecessary and second because it's a frame rate killer in UHD.

A few games don't have it as a setting so I'll go into Nvidia CP and set it to off there.

For most flight sims I use a minimal 2x which smooths out wing edges and wires.

This antialiasing issue occur when are particles in background, in you picture are fog, same happen with clouds or locomotive steam (ATI card).

turn off your Multi-Sample to application controlled; you'll get more FPS; use the one in the game settings.

[=FI=Genosse]

Thanks for your efforts, folks!

 

I think I better keep it as it is and use the natural in-game GFX settings while having the application controlled ATI Radeon ones ...

BTW - Similar effect (defect) happens in ARMA3 if are water in background (in this case with Nvidia GTX970, ATI RiP).
