Nvidia and AA

Personally I would take Feuerfalke's advice and download nhancer, its an excellent package and allows you to tweak almost anything. If you get it let me know and i will give you my settings.

Have you tried to reset the nvidia drivers to default settings, or even reinstalling them?

Worth trying if you can't resolve this by other means I think.

There is absolutely no reason to fiddle with nchancer or even install it to get AA to work in Il2.

If you're desperate and want a quick and dirty , brute force solution try Humus' GLOveride: http://www.humus.name/index.php?page=Cool

If you have Tir 5 the new drivers stop AA working apparently.

S!

Also a small note for you guys. If using ASUS M4A79T Deluxe motherboard, do NOT update BIOS above version 3004. The version 3107 porks your system. My system went from a working one to a crawling turtle: programs starting VERY slowly, IL2 frame rates down to 20fps and so on, stuttering and all that. Readme stated the BIOS would ONLY add support for the new CPU's but seems it also turns your rig to a dia projector..ARGHS!

Back to topic. Only gripe I have with nVidia 480GTX so far is the worse quality of AA. In IL2 there are jaggies on rivers which I did not have on ATI, even I use high AA + supersampling. Supersampling kills IL2 framerate effectively as well. But otherwise the card has performed well.

S!

Will do Alpha Thanks! What are your drivers (using 195.75 atm) and nVidia Control Panel settings for IL2? Trying to resolve this strange issue with my motherboard, latest BIOS cut the frame rate effectively to less than a 1/3rd of what it was I've tried factory defaults etc and nothing helps.

[KG26_Alpha]

Driver 197.75

I have pretty much the same settings as in the screen shot I posted in this thread.

One problem is the Vsync isn't working, I'm at full frame rates and the tearing is annoying for me.

[Flanker35M]

S!

Will give your settings a try, thanks again. Still struggling with my motherboard and it seems the buggy BIOS is behind all this.

Well, like I wrote in an earlier post: I have already tried Nhancer. I´ve had it for a couple of years.

I don´t really see what a re-installation of my driver would do (other than causing trouble), so I´d rather not.



I´ll check out the GLOverride and report back.

[capt. windh]

The GLOverride did it!!!!!! AA finally working!!!



Many thanx Luffe, and all you guys for your input!
