ATI/AMD's new Morphological Anti-aliasing

[Klo]

Not quite sure why everyone's so happy about using it for GTA4, that game was an appalling console port and the graphics were mediocre at best. Yes you can install mods and what not, but it's a bit too little, too late.

I thought the graphics were great on the whole, the shadows got fixed in a patch, so it was only missing AA.

Plus, the atmosphere for me made up for it

Its just an edge-detect LP filter on the frame buffer

Got to love how it's getting downplayed

It works pretty well though. And given the performance you "save" its really great.

I wonder if this method uses less Vram?
If it does then it could negate any Vram issues at high res...

When I saw the leaked slide, I never imagined it would turn out to be such a game changer...

Lol, sounds like sour grapes to me,

Indeed,

Very smooth and very analyzed

Always hated the jaggies in dead space and there was noway to force AA with Nvidia or AMD....until now, looks good.

Looking at the image behind the results it does not look too hot, can you do us a full screen image with the results.

Im Very very happy atm.

MOH doesnt allow AA as the option is broken, and the odd chance it works it kills performance... This makes it work and is playable!

I could but not sure how to capture the screen grab yet lol as when i print screen it shows the image on my desktop with no MLAA lol only in fullscreen it shows it due to the filter though i think amd brought out a tool to do it, going on a search spree lol

No bad company 2?

I wish I had the option in CP, hope Nvidia implement something along the lines of this.

Fraps?

Fraps?

Just tryed fraps doesnt work.

 

[crackerbear]

Eh, this MLAA must be some sort of magic then.

From what I've read, it works in ALL games and all versions of DX.

From the anandtech review;

For the 6800 series, AMD is implementing MLAA as the ultimate solution to anti-aliasing. Because it’s a post-processing filter, it is API-agonistic, and will work with everything. Deferred rendering? Check. Alpha textures? Done. Screwball games like Bad Company 2 that alias everywhere? Can do! And it should be fast too; AMD says it’s no worse than tier Edge Detect AA mode.

Its becuse you need a image capturing of the final image after the frame buffer not before it like traditional images are captured

 

[JeffyB]

Can somene post how to get this working on 5 series?

Ah yeah true, makes sense then.

Clearly there is a way to take screenshots of it in action as the first post as loads.
