NFS Underground with GF5900SPVTD

MheAd · 03-05-04, 07:11 AM

Hi!
I've just installed this game, and it works very nice and smooth with my
Geforce5900SPVTD when I set all details on maximum.

Then I went even further and wanted to check out how far I could go with
AA/AF settings in Forceware drivers. And here is the thing - I don't see any change in graphic when activating AA.

No matter what I do - both when turning AA off or setting it to 8x I don't see any difference in graphics. What's the deal? I use, by the way, the latest 53.03 drivers.

Thanks in advance!

AA is borked in NFSU. Its to do with certain DX9 effects..dunno which in particular but if you turn them off, you will be able to get AA going.

Hmm...but in that case, it's pretty strange, don't you think?
I mean, that's a serious flaw, and we should be able to read about it on lots of places on the Internet. I never found an article mentioning this.
Is this only the case with nVidia or even ATI cards?

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to play around a bit with the settings.
I just hope that by turning off this effect, whichever that is, won't effect the look of the graphic too much. Otherwise it doesn't make any sence to me.

Nope. It's a crappy console port from EA, you should come to expect stuff like this.

BTW, this is an issue that affects both NVIDIA and ATI.

Well nope its something to do with DX9 and post processing or sumat. ie it happens in Halo, Splinter Cell and sometimes in Max Payne 2. This affects as Saturnman was saying cards from NV and ATI.

Just turn off motion blur and light trails and then AA will work. Like others said it's the same with any card and has to do with the way they implement some of the features (same with Halo).

I agree totally with you.. im angry that EA has such a intrest in Console games.... like come on..... if u port it..... make it compatible with computer features..... like for some reason it never wants to save my joystick settings. And they could at least take like i minute of there time to rename vibration to force feedback so we don't see its effortless changes in conversion........ in my opinion anyways

You beat me to it !

I played the 1st half of the game with motion blur & the 2nd half with AA , though i didnt finish it due to crash at race 93 .

Heh, it's the only thing I've learned the last few months so I have to make sure I get to use it.

Bah, EA has become a console developer, and gives us crap ports of almost all games nowadays....

BF1942 the exception, of course..
