Some help please?

I had the same issue. Switched from very high AA to high and it solved it

Bingo. 7970 here, had the same issue on launch, I've just been using high.

Im so impressed by this game.....I have a new found faith in KickStarter

Huh. 4:3 aspect ratio shots. I wasn't aware anybody still used those monitors...


Thanks! Here's a couple more:

Guild Wars 2

And as a test, downsampled from 3200x1800:

Can I get your FX settings?

Is that aliasing on the rails on either side? Or is that the texture of the rails?

I think that's shader aliasing, also for some reason that spot looks much better in the regular shot and gets more aliased when downsampled.

edit :

cropped,

Maybe there are diminishing returns on downsampling with regards to anti-aliasing? To a point where the information lost even attributes more aliasing?

Can you link me to the full res version Corky? Raw format pref.

Holy shit that resolution

Holy shit that resolution

I should've been more clear, hence my "?" after the resolution. I played the game at 3200x1800 with 8xSSAA (and 8xQMSAA) which I assume is equal to 4*3200 x 4*1800 resolution.

Still, hand over the original, I want to test something.

Sure thing, took a couple from the same spot so not sure if I got that original but it's using the same settings nonetheless.

How'd you get screenshots to work? Anything I tried resulted in a black screen.

Didn't make any adjustments, but I have a faint recollection of running into the same problem once myself a while ago.

If the down-sample is a box filter (guessing that it is) even with infinite resolution, you will end up with aliasing when you down-sample, but you gain in "sharpness".

If the down-sample is something like a Mitchell filter, and if you have enough samples/pixel, then you can remove aliasing for a slight reduction in sharpness.

Thank you very much, I love to read stuff like this and even if 99% of it goes over my head I still like to give it a read.

Timothy Lottes as in the guy who created FXAA? Nice to have experts in the High-Res Screenshot Thread.

Here Corky, this is how the shot looks downsampled with Adobe's Bicubic Sharper downsample filter: http://i5.minus.com/iO5cDmdVP8apX.png

Zero aliasing, a gorgeous clean image.

Is the Bicubic Sharper similar to a Mitchell filter that Timothy Lottes was talking about above? That might explain the lack of aliasing.

This is random, but someone at Guru3D noticed all your blog entries about TXAA and FXAA had been taken down. Is there a reason for that?

Maybe the contents are now found in the Nvidia whitepaper? Just a guess, I don't know the contents of the blog posts.

What is downsampling/what is it used for?

What is downsampling/what is it used for?

Nvidia and ATI cards can render resolutions much higher than the average monitor. They allow users to real-time downsample from those high resolutions to the monitor resolution for vastly improved image quality. Screenshots are taken at the higher resolution though.

 

[RibbedHero]

What is downsampling/what is it used for?

Rendering the game at a higher resolution then scaling it to fit your screen in order to get greater IQ.

A picture of the earthquakes that occur at random times on these maps. Motion blur means that the image is blurry (duh!) but I though it looked really cool.

Yes, it is the fastest way to force NVIDIA to take over hosting all the information for their products. I'm transitioning my personal blog to focus on technical stuff related to my side project, a PC game.

This still seems to have aliasing on the neon lights and rails on the right side, but I think that's about the best you will get with the limited resolution.

This thread made me discover that IrfanView has a Mitchell filter, thanks for that.

One of the best apps out there and totally free. I cant recommend it enough.

Yeah I guess at some point you just want a higher PPI on your monitor, speaking of which. 120hz, 300 ppi, 30", 3840x2160 H-IPS monitor, can I has?

Hey I just discovered irfanview thanks to you guys, much better than bloody paint lol. Thanks!

Does SweetFX have a huge impact on performance? Some of the results look really good.

Did someone break the gravity in this screenshot? Or are they just swinging back and forth?
