Bog9y Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Hi guys, Just curious , does it matter if you set the MSAA in the DCS settings or in the Nvidia control panel (and select override application) ? are they both the same or is one better than the other? and does one tax the system less?
msalama Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 The override application option doesn't work in v2.x. Still used to work in v1.5, but the underlying GFX engine has changed, so no go anymore. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Bog9y Posted April 24, 2020 Author Posted April 24, 2020 Right, so the only way to switch on MSAA is in DCS itself?
msalama Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Yep. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
FoxTwo Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 MFAA does work however, so feel free to enable that in the control panel.
Bagpipe Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 MFAA does work however, so feel free to enable that in the control panel. MFAA can cause problems. In order to use override in NV Control panel you must set MSAA in game to x2 so that NV knows where to inject it's own MSAA into (per se)
DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 AFAIC MSAA should be OFF. Not worth the FPS hit. The only important scene filter is anisotropic (4X) filter, and that should only be turned on for carrier missions where carrier is Stennis. My opinion only.

Bog9y Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 I found it was still shimmering with 2x...and even 4x. With 2x it just seemed a bit more blurred and less sharp.
Bagpipe Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Dependent on your rig, i would recommend SSAA x2 with either no MSAA or x2. If not then dial the SSAA down to x1.5 and if you need more FPS then roll back the anisotropic filter setting a bit. After each time you alter the settings you must exit DCS and delete fxo/metashaders 2 and reboot the program to be sure everything changes.

Art-J Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Not really in my opinion, as shader files have nothing to do with antialiasing, or any gfx card setting for that matter. It's not a bad habit to do it after every game update, though. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
