New SSAA setting


Thick8

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Been running 1.7 SS with no AA. Just tried 1.5 SS with 1.5 SSAA. Looks much nicer and there is no drop in FPS. Am I using it right? What is it doing?

SSAA works with the Odyssey?

It certainly does not with the Rift.

I too am surprised. All that SSAA did for me (Rift) is make everything look impossibly zoomed in.

 

It's not even relevant for VR, because essentially it's the same as pixel density. SSAA upscales the resolution to a higher one and scales it down again. So basically it's pixel density for monitors.

 

I'm surprised you get no fps drop, as you're running at a much higher resolution.

I’m on holiday for the next week so no testing until then. I can’t imagine that it was super sampling twice at 1.5 because that would have been a slideshow.

I expect he was likely referring to monitor use, don't think there is any way ssaa can be used in VR.

I've noticed an improvement in the appearance and frame rates with the latest incarnation of the beta. SSAA doesn't appear to do anything, which would be consistent with what others have said about it not being intended for VR. MSAA, on the other hand? Still broken. Even 2X makes everything a jitter-fest, like one eye is lagging the other. With that turned completely off though, things run pretty smoothly. Definitely don't like the affects of the deferred shading being locked on. I'm trying to get deeper into the more advance functions of the CDU in the A-10C, and now the keys are so washed out I can't read them. So, I'll be back on the stable with the A-10C and use the beta for the new modules.

That is odd I am running 2x MSAA without any issue, very smooth for me. I can even run 4x MSAA without a problem, I prefer 2x due to a little better performance. Your rig is certainly beefier than mine also.

What pixel density are you running, Dburne? I'm running 2.0 on mine. Maybe that's why I'm having issues, or maybe I've got something else going on with my machine. Its a new build, so there's definitely a possibility I haven't squashed all the bugs yet. The jitters I'm seeing look like the image is separating between the left and right eye, so it jumps back and forth. Turning the MSAA off makes that go away.

Yeah that may be a little high on PD.

 

I am running 1.5 currently.

Adjusting the gamma helped with the deferred shading. Someone re-did the A-10 cockpit texture files so that the text is more legible.

I have it set at 1.5 now with 2X MSAA which looks and runs great. 4X MSAA is much better, but still not perfectly smooth. 8X MSAA in the Stable version, with PD set at 1.5, on the other hand, looks and runs amazingly! Thanks for the tip, Dburne! It hadn't occurred to me that MSAA would make 1.5 PD look just as good, if not better than 2.0 PD with no MSAA.

 

Thick8, I'll try a lower gamma and see what happens. Thanks! :D

You are most welcome! From what I have seen PD above 1.5 has very diminishing returns especially with the performance hit, and really for me I will take MSAA over PD any day.

Say the person with the ti:smilewink: :) I've turned PD down to the lowest setting with 2xAA and I still get really low fps.:doh: I want a ti so bad.

Concerning the PD discussion: try 1.2PD and 2xMSAA. I've found that the graphical difference is minor compared to higher settings, but the performance is optimal. I have a monster system and still choose to run at this setting. See this for more info.

It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm
