ATI/AMD's new Morphological Anti-aliasing

[tommybhoy]

Nah just looking at textures you can tell they are getting the MLAA treatment, for me going from pin sharp IQ to MLAA would be a let down akin to dropping down in res

Yeah a let down that removes all those pin sharp jaggies. Oh and don't forget the sharper looking girders above the arkham banner too.

but I can see why some people may appreciate the feature.

Yep me and others that can enable the feature, because it removes all those jaggies.

Don't worry about it raven, you'll enjoy it more when you jump again at Christmas when you see it in action first hand when you get your new card.

I haven't tried it yet on my 5850 but it looks like a decent feature to have when a game doesn't support aa / the framerate with aa enabled is too low.

Not a fan of the slightly blurred look tbh, and as someone mentioned earlier it looks similar to 2xqaa from NV cards, but better having it as an option than not at all.

The textures are a mess, and it makes me feel like I need glasses as they are out of focus.

Some title shots look very impressive to me but yeah, some do look poor as well. Nice option to have though.

Ye you can really tell the soft IQ with them images, high loss in definition.

 

[Mr Krugga]

It's not that bad tbh, definitely an option for lower end cards. Hopefully this will be developed and some sort of sharpening will come in effect.

While there is some blurriness of textures, it seems pretty subtle to me. The smoothing out of those awful jaggies more than makes up for it.

 

[MeMeMeMe]

How do you download the 10.10a hotfix drivers?

I have tried here:
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU84AMDCatalyst1010aHotfix.aspx
But the file downloaded is called the 10.10b hotfix, which my friend google tells me is for windows xp.

 

[RichardH754]

Nice if Nvidia would give us the option of this?

Not me that's confused, that was your image I used not the one that was sharpened with photo editing software.

lol you are confused.

 

[BobbyBBB]

While the performance hit is nice the blurriness is kind of annoying.

lol you are confused.

Here is your image again with all the jagies

OMG, your first post below, clearly you posted the photoshopped mlaa image.


And no one is questioning that it removes the aliasing, just pointing out in it doing so you lose fine detail and definition as you did with QAA which Nvidia implemented years a go but discontinued it.

Where is this loss of fine detail and wholly blurry mess that everyone is talking about because I just cant see it. The MLAA'd images look fine to me.

 

[Phoenixdancer]

looks teh same but better

If you look at the 1st image in ravens' post above yours, you'll see that its a bit blurry, although 'jaggy-free'.

A small amount in all honestly, but still noticeable.

It's up to the individual whether this bothers them or not.

The image above that has had a sharpening filter applied afaik, which the ATi drivers don't do.This is why it looks 'clearer' than the one above it.

 

[Skyrocket]

People that haven't got Ati cards, and never saw ingame play say it's blurry and looks crap.
People THAT actually tried it and played games says it looks fine...

What's the point in arguing ?

 

[MoodyB]

There's no point in arguing, because its all down to personal preference.

Some people will like it, others won't.
