It looks very good but I bet that performance is rather an dancing banana

Think it won't affect performance that much, at least if you have a card capable of running 2560x1600 without issues. Gonna suck for me though..

Now bring on the GTA IV tweaks so I can play it again!

Sounds like you'll need a lot of VRAM to accomplish this.

Holy **** that looks good.

WOW.

Hell, I'll even give it a SHAM WOW.

Edit: Isn't this how the Voodoo 4/5 did AA? I still miss the AA quality on that card.

Here you have instructions.

Another reason to get a GT300 when it launches!

How's the performance hit - anyone try this yet?

JasonPC · 05-19-09, 02:16 PM

Yeah I'm planning on getting GT300 after holding onto my 8800s for so long.

Noriega · 05-19-09, 03:26 PM

Any one got it working? I got XP and it doesn't want to run ;/

Still a 50% increase in pixels from 2560x1600 to 2988x2100. If you wanted similar quality at a native resolution of 1920x1200, going by the same conventions, it would be downsampled from 3840x2400, so it would get out of hand pretty quickly.

Interesting concept, but not really practical at the resolutions we're used to these days.

Wow, GTA4 runs like crap to begin with and now just to simulate FSAA we're suppose to render in an unGodly resolution? Ack!!!

I managed to get it working in Vista64, but so far I managed to find only one "proper" resolution, 2880x1620@50hz (native is 1920x1080@60hz), so basically 1.5xSSAA

I tried it out in Lost Planet and yes it works and yes the performance hit is definitely there. Average fps were around 15-25, but it was quite smoother (30-40fps) actually at 1080p with 16xQ and with comparable image quality.

So yes its nice to have that addional option, IF the game doesnt have AA, IF SSAA doesn't work through Nhancer, and IF you have the necessary hardware that can deliver decent framerame. In such case it does beat jaggies any time and I'm glad these guys over at 3Dcenter found that solution/hack.
