Nvidia Ge. Force Tweak GuidePage 6 Nvidia Control Panel Pt. Antialiasing Mode This setting determines how Antialiasing is applied in games. It works in conjunction with the Antialiasing Setting option covered further below. DKadz0W.png' alt='Texture Filtering Driver Controlled Lod Bias' title='Texture Filtering Driver Controlled Lod Bias' />There are four available options for this setting Off, Application Controlled, Enhance the Application Setting and Override any Application Setting. If Off is selected, the Nvidia Control Panel will attempt to forcibly disable all Antialiasing in games. If Application Controlled is selected, no AA will be implemented via the NVCP, however each game can still use its own built in Antialiasing settings as required. If Enhance the Application Setting is selected, firstly it will only work for a game if that game has a traditional Antialiasing setting of its own and it is enabled, and secondly you must choose a level of AA to use as an enhancement under Antialiasing Setting covered further below. This setting will then attempt to further improve the existing level of AA in the game. If Override any Application Setting is selected, it will ignore any AA set using the in game settings, and instead attempt to forcibly apply the type of AA you specify under Antialiasing Setting. It is recommended that Antialiasing Mode be set to Application controlled under Global Settings. C C Programmiersprache IT C Country X.

To then force Antialiasing in individual games, switch to the settings found in that games profile under the Program Settings tab. Texture Filtering Driver Controlled Lod Bias' title='Texture Filtering Driver Controlled Lod Bias' />It is always preferable to use the games own AA settings if any exist, as a games built in AA methods are the most compatible and hence the most likely to work as intended. If there are no in game AA settings, then you can use the Override any Application Setting option, and attempt to force a particular type of AA on the game. However, this will often fail to work in modern games, as the rendering method used in many games is incompatible with common AA methods such as MSAA. If a game has built in traditional i. MSAA or SSAA based, not shader based Antialiasing settings, then by enabling one of those and selecting Enhance the Application Setting option and choosing an AA level, you stand the greatest chance of improving the overall Antialiasing used in the game. If the above seems confusing, thats because forcing AA via the graphics driver is a hit and miss affair requiring experimentation for each game, and will often fail to work. Texture Filtering Driver Controlled Lod Bias' title='Texture Filtering Driver Controlled Lod Bias' />The key issue is compatibility forced AA will only work if the type of AA being used doesnt conflict with the games rendering method andor matches the type of AA already implemented in the game. Thats why using the Enhance the Application Setting option is more likely to succeed than using the Override any Application Setting option, because the driver can more readily determine how to enhance an existing implementation of AA in a game. Even then its only really likely to work in games that have an MSAA implementation. Antialiasing Setting Here you can select the type and level of Antialiasing to attempt to forcibly apply to a game if the Enhance the Application Setting or Override any Application Setting options are chosen in the Antialiasing Modes setting as covered above. The available options for this setting will differ depending upon your particular GPU, and the version of the Ge. Enhancing antialiasing in FSX and P3Dv2 using the NVidia GPU Control Panel, and NVidia Inspector NI. Ultimate settings Use the setup shown below for the D3D. Texture Filtering Driver Controlled Lod Bias' title='Texture Filtering Driver Controlled Lod Bias' />Force drivers you are using. The most basic options that all users should see are Application controlled, 2x, 4x and 8x. If Application controlled is selected here, no AA will be implemented via the NVCP, even if youve set the Antialiasing Mode setting to Enhance the Application Setting or Override any Application Setting each game can still use its own built in Antialiasing settings as required. If a sample rate of 2x, 4x or 8x is selected here in conjunction with the enhance or override options in the Antialiasing Mode setting, then the NVCP will attempt to force 2x Multi Sample Antialiasing MSAA, 4x MSAA or 8x MSAA as relevant. Higher sample rates provide progressively smoother image quality results at the cost of significantly larger drops in overall performance. As noted, depending on your GPU and driver version, you may also see higher sample rates and additionall AA modes available here. As discussed earlier, attempting to force MSAA, or AA methods based on MSAA, such as Coverage Sampling Antialiasing CSAA or Multi Frame Sampled Antialiasing MFAA, will only work for some games. Primarily, forcing MSAA or CSAA is best suited to older Direct. X 9 games, or modern games with built in MSAA settings, which can then be enhanced via the NVCP. In most other cases, modern game engines use rendering techniques that are completely incompatible with MSAA based methods. So if you still wish to attempt to force AA on such games, you will need to use Supersampling based AA methods such as Sparse Grid Supersampling AA SGSSAA via the Nvidia Inspector utility covered in the Advanced Tweaking section shader based methods such as FXAA covered further above or Subpixel Morphological Antialiasing SMAA or, for a relatively foolproof but performance intensive AA method that will work in all games, use the Dynamic Super Resolution DSR feature, covered further below. InspectorSkyrimTextureFiltering.png' alt='Texture Filtering Driver Controlled Lod Bias' title='Texture Filtering Driver Controlled Lod Bias' />I recommend that the Antialiasing Setting option be set to Application controlled under Global Settings, and only set to a particular sample rate under the Program Settings tab for games which already support that type of AA. Importantly, the Antialiasing Mode setting must be set to Enhance the Application Setting or Override any Application Setting for this setting to have any impact. Antialiasing Transparency To represent lots of small objects, such as leaves on trees or blades of grass in a field, game developers often use textures with transparent portions, also known as Alpha Textures, instead of rendering each small object as a unique set of polygons. The classic example is leaves on a tree branch rather than making each leaf an individually rendered complex object, a group of leaves are drawn as a single texture with a transparency effect around each leaf. This is much more efficient in terms of reducing processing load, but it also causes problems traditional Antialiasing such as standard MSAA cant address the jaggedness and shimmering of the objects drawn within alpha textures. Therefore, this setting exists to specifically address the appearance of jaggedness on transparent textures, such as leaves, grass, chain link fences, small windows, shiny edges on glassy or metallic objects, and so on. The available options for this setting are Off, Multisample, 2x supersample, 4x supersample and 8x supersample. When set to Off, no additional Transparency Antialiasing TRAA is applied to any game via the NVCP, but this doesnt prevent a game from applying its own built in methods if any exist. If set to Multisample, the graphics driver will augment MSAA such that it also subtly smooths out alpha textures at a reasonably low performance cost. If set to Supersample, jagged edges within alpha textures are more noticeably smoothed, with higher sample rates providing progressively better results but also a much greater performance hit.
