can you post some comparison pics?

and does it look better than just using double internal resolution?

 

Godlike!

 

Wow, we already have enough trouble running these games at super high resolution and now AA is introduced...we're going to need 2-3 future generation cards to do 16x AA Super-Sampling...even though, with that enabled, Native would be godlike, but imagine like 1920 x 1200 @ 16x AA, with Super-Sampling and Trin filtering...FFX would look next Gen

 

it looks a bit better than doubled internal res like 3360x2100.
i can post screens later.

 

Yep, I already noticed this way to use AA in PCSX2 some while ago. I can confirm that it works, at least with graphics cards of the GeForce 8xxx/9xxx series.

Sadly it's barely faster than increasing the internal rendering resolution in the games i tried. So it's relatively useless to me.


Btw. I remember some other compatibility settings than "STALKER" were also working, giving slightly different results in image quality or speed.

 

First is without AA and the second is with 4x MSAA.
Look especially at the ground!
Internal and external resolution are of course the same!

 

very hard to notice, but on the ground i can see it does fix those jaggy lines.

maybe it'll look more noticeable in other games.

 

Yeah...I was hoping AA would help alot more...but it's not really at all.

 

i think if you use native resolution, with AA, it might be more noticible.

since native resolution usually has alot of jaggy edges.

and it would be good for the games that don't work with high internal resolutions.

 

how does it work in gran turismo 4?

doubling the res still leaves gt4 looking pretty rough :/

For me GT4 mostly suffers from a sort of blurry image, just like some other games (for example Grandia 3 or Dragon Quest 8). For these games I find it better to use a higher internal resolution because it sharpens the whole image a bit.

Generally with 4x MSAA the image quality concerning the polygon edges is a bit better than using a quadrupled internal res. On the other hand a higher internal res treats the whole image while MSAA works on polygon edges exclusively.
Other than in PC games where MSAA is usually much faster than using a higher resolution, the difference doesn't seem to bit that high in PCSX2.


To put it shortly: Imo it depends on the game whether it is better to use MSAA or a higher internal resolution.


I've taken a few screenshots of Grandia 3 in order to demonstrate what I stated. From left to right it is: 1280*960 without AA / 1280*960 with 4xAA / 2560*1920 (without AA). Especially pay attention to the pillars on the left.

 

I'm pretty sure it should work to force AA from cpanel using driver 174.74 or newer using the new AA force method setting "override any application settings". At least pre this driver lots of pc games wouldn't use AA if forced it from cpanel so RivaTuner or nHancer etc was required but with driver version 174.74 or newer it works with all pc games I've tested and I'm pretty that goes for pcsx2 too but I haven't tested yet.

Nope, it doesn't work that way in PCSX2.

 

it works only with the compatiblity mode so far.

btw: i added pics in the first post.

 

For me it seems like not working at all i don`t use nHancer tought i did use nvidias own profile editor that have alot more options. first are with profile and the second picture is without profile also the rest of the picture are with profile (aa++++)

 

For me it seems like not working at all

yea because you don't use the compatiblity mode...

 

OK, just for Quake3k:

BTW: Do you really like to have fat fighters?? I always use nvidia's scalling...

 

Still cant see the diffrence with compatibilty mode on also..but guess it are a real bad game to test on it seems like
anyway first picture with second without

 

some more shots:

Kingdom Hearts:

the quality and framerate are in fact better when using 4X AA

first one with 4XAA, second with 3360x2100 internal res, no AA

 

fat fighters? what you mean? is my wide screen resolution^^

 

Look at my screenshots and compare them with yours.
I have black borders left and right.
You could press F6 (or F5?) while ingame.

Delete all your pcsx2 settings in your nvidia driver.
Then try it just with nHancer.
Make sure you use the same external and internal resolution

 

why did you check vsync in gsdx?
it mostly slows the framerate down to 30 for me.

 

I never have problems when I use v-sync.
I thought there are only big slow downs if frame skipping is on.
However, I don't need it.

 

hey could you please explain how to use internal/external resolution in a few words?red a few guides but i'm still missing it.......

 

External: Just the resolution which your monitor shows (the output)
Internal is more complicated.
I think it is how good a game will be rendered by the plugin.
(The real game resolution gets increased).

The external should depends on the internal.
That means an external resolution of 1680x1050 never would help you
if the internal will be bad (example: 800x600)

Ok, I am now tired and going sleeping
If I told bull****, it was because of the time. haha
