Wow! This looks very, very sweet. Now let's try something with ATI.

You mean with the adaptive v-sync? I just changed it to regular v-sync with triple buffering enabled, tearing is gone. I say download the drivers Slips, they are very good.

They took time enough, the MLAA (ATI morphological AA) works since day one, I remember post a comparative screenshot in this forum time ago.

Anyway ... Force morphological AA methods by card drivers have performance hit usually because the Nvidia and ATI configurations are set very aggressive to kill every aliasing, they cant afford people saying that this not work so be aware, may be is why there hit in the text.

And the AA morphological methods ordered by quality is like this :

SMAA > FXAA > MLAA

So if i aren't wrong and this method changed drastically in this driver the SMAA method are on the top of the best quality at the morphological AA race.

Personally I´ll stick with the injection mods for long time, if you know how to tweak FXAA and SMAA injection mods you can reach better results and performance.

Yes very good!...thanks Mazex for the heads up on these,
The very first thing that I noticed was an improvement of the exhaust manifold.

I suspect if the fps drop below say what it is set to, say it is set to half, and your monitor's refresh rate is 60, then if the fps drops below half of that, or 30, then vsync kicks off perhaps? Then resumes when at 30+ fps?

"To fix the problem, the GeForce 301.24 beta drivers come loaded with NVIDIA Adaptive VSync, an automated technique that disables VSync when frame rates fall below the locked rate, and re-enables it when they return to the locked rate, significantly reducing stuttering whilst still preventing tearing."



Edit: And it works

Now the print screen works and captures the image as I see it, for some reason Fraps that I have used for CloD screenshots captures it "before" the FXAA is applied(?) so it gets all jagged...

Which is weird because printscreen always worked for me, and now doesn't

Edit, it does still work when i use pseudo fullscreen, but the AA doesn't then, grrrrrr, and Steam captures before the aa is applied to.

So now it looks great, but i can't show anyone!

That's odd...no problem here with the new driver set, using in game screenshot with a assigned key.

Thanks for the heads up on the beta Maz, it indeed looks better and a slight fps hit for me which is the only downside.

ahh well, you know what they say, 'when you understand all of Clod's idiosyncrasies, you will be bored of life'.

Lets see some more screenshots guys! Wow it looks nice with less jaggies. I wish ATI came out with something like this that wasn't such a performance hog.
