anti aliasing supersampling

anti aliasing supersampling

Am I correct this ment to be the most demanding form of AA? Is it possible to have this working with BF3?
When I try I dont notice any change, I set both AA in bf3 setting to off. I then open CCC and set anti aliasing mode to override Application and method to Supersampling I even messed with the samples from 2x right upto 16EQ

I think the super sampling used via CCC is a different kind of SSAA which only works on Directx9. It works with Fifa and other DX9 games. You're better off using Edge Detect for the best AA in Battlefield 3. Remember though Edge Detect will Alise everything, fences and tree's so expect a large performance hit when using it.

Thanks, found out why is wasn't working on BF3 I should use enhance application settings. I was trying to use Over-ride.

You need to override to 2x or 4x and then switch to SSAA as the AA type, it defaults to MSAA (you get the choice of MSAA, adaptive and SSAA).

Do in CCC I after use enhance then, Supersampling. Then on BF3 I have 2xMSAA witch is playable. If I use 4xMSAA both gpu's run 99% and game becomes choppy.

If I use Over-ride then it dont seem to work on BF3?
 
Enhance doesn't enable SSAA. If you stick it on 2x and then just change the AA to supersampling it'll switch to that. SSAA is really intensive though, on my 7970 it struggled at 4xSSAA a lot of the time.
 
Basically this is what they do:

Enhance - changes the in game setting to EQ mode, so if you set 8xAA in game, you end up with 8xEQ AA.

Override - lets you pick the level and whether EQ is enabled or not.

AA Mode - Switches type of AA to MSAA, Adaptive or SSAA.

Only enhanced works, and does from my testing also. I know its working from my Both GPU usages increases a lot.

You mean other than getting artefacts and having to pull back the overclock by 50mhz and up the voltage a smidge too?

Back to 13.4 for me :p

Likely you're getting more performance from the new driver which is causing your gpu to work harder and thus require a bit more voltage to be stable at the previous clocks. Personally my voltage requirements have never changed with a driver update though.

I can believe that, which is why I always liked Furmark for stress testing tbh.

I was under the impression that the performance gains from new drivers were efficiencies, rather than actual boosts, so the cards perform better with whatever settings they have.

I'm just speculating, but you may have been on the limit of stability before and now the extra fps you've got puts your previous stability in jeopardy. Why not just stick the voltage up a notch or two and enjoy the newer drivers with more optimizations?
