jAk, you need to set FSAA from within the game on the 6800. Control panel doesn't override like it does on the X800.

Thanx.. I knew it was something

No problemo. Looking forward to seeing the revised shots. :)

You should check system.cfg in your farcry folder,jakup.It is in r_Fsaa_Samples..

Btw your old avatar was excellent.(Teh beautiful one :lol2: )

[Nv40]

well dont know for sure..might be the compression of the pictures.but bumpmaps doesnt looks revolutionary even in official screenshots in indoors probably is an artistic design. outdoors is where the graphics shines.. and there only PS1.1 is used.. :D

[Banko]

I think high is 4x aa. Maybe it is the new drivers?

Yes my old avatar was excellent... ;) Maybe someday it will make a comeback..hehe

I checked r_fsaa_samples, and it was set to 6

[Blacklash]

I assume this is the Carrier level. For reference tried on my Rig. All settings very high/ultra high.

You bench the volcano level yet with FRAPS? I don't think the ultra does 6XAA, You would need to set for 4 or 8...

Old avatar? Omg, then you should know that there's a bastard at the ISA fora who uses your old avatar, your name, and your sig! :D:D:D Old avatar my arse :D

[SH64]

Why the second shot lost 10fps :confused: :p

[jAkUp]

Because I turned the the Trilinear optimization off.. it was doing full Trilinear filtering

[-=DVS=-]

Jakup could you make few pics of this cooler level with new drivers ? with and without AA .

Bummer :( , well atleast Trilinear optimization doesn't couse IQ loss in FarCry gives extra fps.

[SH64]

Because I turned the the Trilinear optimization off.. it was doing full Trilinear filtering

I know !
what i meant that i couldent see any clear visual differnece between the 2 shots .

you gained 10 fps while the IQ is the same . this is just great :)

[Riptide]

Hell yeah. I couldn't notice *any* difference between those two shots. Very nice looking.

[Skynet]

The banding or artifacts or whatever you want to call it on the tile floor, does that not look like inadequate colour precision? Sure looks like it to me.

[jAkUp]

Is it running in 16 bit precision rather than 32, or the ATI's 24?
