[Cool Breeze]

Made a great difference to IQ in BF3 all on ultra with NV FXAA and Avsync smooth as on single gtx 480

Can I ask what settings you changed in the control panel and in nvidia inspector. Had a bit of a play around with adaptive VSYNCE and FXAA but performance was worse for me.

Really liking adaptive v-sync. Still get the odd tear in Starcraft 2 but it quickly sorts itself.

 

[MoRT489]

Even more of a potential advantage if your not hitting 120fps constantly (unless your really really picky about tearing).

With vsync enabled you have to wait an additional frame before the next one is rendered if your not rendering fast enough to hit the vsync cap.

a potential advantage compared to just normal vsync, but as tearing doesnt bother me in newer games i guess it's not worth it. Am I right in thinking if i cant reach 120fps vsync will never be on with the adaptive setting?

Well I've rolled back to 296.10. Getting crashes during BF3 every third or forth game!

Will wait for WHQL, hopefully they'll improve.

Thanks. Will give these another ago tonight. In BF3 is VYSNC enabled?

I saw this option also.

What do you think the difference is between this apparent bespoke option for BF3, Trine 2 and Firefox and simply the 'enabled' option?

The FXAA makes GTA4 look much smoother with a GTX560.

Indeed it looks really nice, think I will be playing through the DLC again now.

Adaptive V-Sync and FXAA are fantastic additions! (Using a GTX460)

In game vsync is off as is post AA just let the driver do the work.

 

[Flying_Hellfish]

FXAA is quite nice! A little boost to performance in BF3, seems a little smoother.

 

[welshdragon]

What settings are people using in Starcraft 2? I have FXAA set to ON and AA set to override the application settings. Is this right or should I set it to enhance the application?

 

[Sin_Chase]

I apply FXAA at driver level and leave AA at "Application Controlled" set in-game.

 

[welshdragon]

Shall give that a whirl

Potentially a stupid question here, but I've just been playing GTA with FXAA enabled and took some screenshots with FRAPS. So I've gone to look at them afterwards and there are jaggies all over the place?? Is that normal?

Yep. FXAA is a shader injection so it is applied after the part where the screenshot is taken.

 

[sunlitsix]

I thought that might be the case, it looks great in game!

" If you’re trying this at home, please note that Fraps and other frame grabbing applications cannot display the FXAA improvements as FXAA is a shader-based technique. Instead, run the game in a window, and press Alt and Print Screen simultaneously to grab an FXAA anti-aliased screenshot "

either adaptive v-synch or FXAA is causing my system to have major CPU spikes, causing pauses in game when being killed etc.

needs more investigation, will report back
