AMD Recommends Using Nvidia's FXAA in Battlefield 3

I can't see a 5870 on the graph?
OK you could work on the assumption that the 5870 is between the 6870 and 6950, seems reasonable. But then I wouldn't have assumed a 590 would perform worse than a 570.

Yea I presumed between 6870 and 6950 (although from what I understand in most games the 5870 and the 6950 are identical, at least in BFBC2 they are)
 
So where do I manually select FSAA in my nvidia drivers?

I have it set to 8x AA, and 8x supersample for just about everything I play, but I'm pretty sure that most games still dont accept those setting, even with 'override any application setting' enabled.

I havnt figured out how to get more than the amount of AA that can be set in game, because trying to force it through the drivers never seems to work.

Theres a thread with that DLL injection thing that should force high quality AA in any game I install it too, I'll give that a try.
 
I don't even see an option for fxaa anywhere and ive gone through them all. :confused:

Exactly. I have the latest 285 drivers, and all I have is AA (MSAA), and Transparency (SSAA).

Technically setting them both to 8x should cripple any modern game down to unplayable levels, but nope, they are over riden by ingame settings, even though the driver says its meant to be doing just that over the in game settings.
 
Just to avoid confusion.. this is MSAA being talked about, and NOT AMD's MLAA (which is AMD's version of FXAA as such.) At least that's my understanding. MSAA is just multi sample AA.

It's very good that they have allowed other cards to use it. Top Marks.

I'm not sure how you set up FXAA though!!! (Re-read.. it looks like it's inside the game it's set).

There's nothing I hate more than misleading graphs. The first starts at 0.5, which is half way up the scale; the second caps out at 40fps, which offers a poor in-game experience (60fps being the typical benchmark framerate). It's really basic stuff.
