Yea .

Also gives a 7fps performance hit and brings it down to 8800GTS level, I guess with 16xAA, since SS/16xAA was uber lag on 8800GTS, but 16xAA was about same as 4xAAA with 2900.

what mode were you running to get the facial hair mods?

i just tried it again on 2xAA with AAA set to performance and it does nothing like that to the guys face.

this is what AAA is supposed to do:

good difference there.

 

[Cyber-Mav]

noticed one thing, when i put AA to 4x there is massive quality increase when AAA is enabled but there is a largish performance hit and even larger when 6xAA is enabled with AAA.

looks like for proper transparency AA ati needs to sort out that EATM, or ETAM feature so it can be enabled on its own like nvidias mulisample transparency AA mode.

Do I set my AA settings in the catalyst control panel or in the game?

You set Adaptive AA in CCC.

I'm going to try 8xAA in CSS Stress Test, then 8xAAA, see what happens.

Indeed it is very good, but games like TDU have a 7fps hit, I guess Adaptive AA still needs to be worked on, but in TDU, CSS those both have problem, TDU, makes that guy grow a beard and puts a dark layer over the GPS, in CSS you get purple crap everywere, allthough it does look pretty cool in both instances

I noticed in Tomb Raider you zoom right to her face and when she breathes, the FPS drops down to like 30 for some reason coz of the water vapour, I just tried a closed beta of a game called Project Torque, and the slightest smoke causes a FPS drop for some reason, so smoke needs working on.

Apart from that, I dont have a problem with AA anymore if 4x AA runs smooth coz as drivers improve it bet it will get even better, I mean 4xAAA is good enough now, no performance drop and it's just like 16xAA quality

CSS/HL2 should work with AA in CCC, but Dirt does not, same for TDU aswell.

 

[SS-89]

Will adaptive AA work?

AAA works in CSS/TDU, dunno about Dirt, should do.
