FXAA works with any game apparently and almost no fps loss (works with gta4)

I dont have lfd2 installed but did you place the files where the exe is? Also readme might be helpful.

twist3d0n3 · 27 Oct 2011 at 19:13

i did indeed, followed what it said in the readme, and used pause to enable/disable, but nothing actually happened

SkeeterUK · 27 Oct 2011 at 19:16

Was anything in your gfx card drivers been set to forced aa perhaps?

Also i heard some games may need to have it in some other folders well the shader file at least, not 100% sure on that tho.

twist3d0n3 · 27 Oct 2011 at 19:18

it's ok, sussed it. in the readme it says to try adding this line to the shader file: "#define FXAA_GREEN_AS_LUMA 1" and it's worked

EXPLAIN?

Why does anyone owe you an explanation?

More people know the better. Why do you care? EXPLAIN?

Says in the readme "do not use this tool while playing on anti cheat enabled servers".

twist3d0n3, I'd be careful using it with Left 4 Dead/a VAC enabled game, mate.

I've just tried it with GTA4 and the difference is night and day on a 46" screen. Well chuffed. Thanks for sharing, Broken Hope and SkeeterUK.

twist3d0n3 · 27 Oct 2011 at 19:27

hmm ok, i was just experimenting with it in SP so far, i can always remove the files

thanks for the heads up

Why would you use it with L4D anyway, this game runs at constant 100+ fps and can use up to 8xMSAA.

It's great for games like Mass Effect or GTA 4 that don't support any form of AA natively.

FXAA is the one that just blurs everything like a layer of Vaseline right?

MLAA looks like that to me, haven't tried this myself. Does it blur text like MLAA anyone?

Don't think it does, one of the benefits of FXAA from what I seen awhile back. Or if it does blur, its not noticeable to me.

I'm going to hop on to EFLC without and then with, will post back

Works nicely in STALKER: CoP

Normal game, no mods or anything:

Normal game, no mods except FXAA:

Hard to see in screenshots, but the in game difference is quite substantial. I'd say it's about the same as 4x normal AA.

THe compression of the JPG makes it blurred anyway but if you look at the bit of branch that's almost vertical, just to the 10 O'clock of the crosshair, you'll see that FXAA makes it quite a bit smoother

eyefinity; with 8xAA it goes a bit stuttery due to me only having 1Gb of vram per gpu

Think FXAA retains a bit more sharpness than MLAA, but its fairly negligible.

Definitely sharper on the lower settings.
I think AMD need to include adjustments for setting the amount of MLAA in CCC.

Yes it can blur the text just like MLAA.

MLAA blurs everything.

Which is besides the point.
The fact is FXAA can still blur text, i was not asked were or when.

A poor man's AA by the looks of it. All it does is blur the edges.

In game implemented FXAA is much better i suspect that in game MLAA is better as well..
