Timm Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Hi Guys, Just wondering if any one out there uses this little program it's called nHancer and is designed for those using Nvidia graphic cards. When using this you can tweak up the game graphics etc IE get rid of those nasty jaggies you see on the edges of building etc. I am in the process in doing a profile for BS. If anyone has got a profile could you give me any tips etc. Timm “Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes to us at midnight very clean.

diveplane Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 nasty jaggies? looks great here. https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
DTWD Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 nasty jaggies? looks great here. I think he is reffering to switching AA on. In which case there is no need to use nHancer as the NVidia control panel allows you to set AA/AF etc. Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
forlorn Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 That is probably the best tool for nvidia cards. It can change the profiles used for every game and enhance the modes of AF and AA by the supported but not selectable in the nvidia desktop tool.
Timm Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Hi Guys, I used when flying in MS Flightsim 9 and what a difference it made. made everything much sharper. So I'm just asking if anyone else has used this program to enhance the graphics within this game. Timm “Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes to us at midnight very clean.

Chibawang Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Yes, I use it....? No 'tips' for you, though. Just set things up to your liking and play, it's pretty straightforward.
_Hoss Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 nvidia control panel is okay, but nHancer is much nicer, I have been using it for quite sometime now. It allows tweeking SLI a little better than other programs, and you can switch on the SLI balancing graph and see how your set up runs in game by looking at the graph. For Lock On don't enable any of the OpenGL stuff, make sure you check "Profile can be started manually"check box. Also look in the Tools tab for "Activate Profile" and make sure Lock On is activated, any other profile you check off the enable manually check box will be named in that window too, you can make sure that profile is active before you launch the game. It's supposed to be automatic when the exe is started, but I don't leave anything to chance. :doh: Sempre Fortis

LIONPRIDE Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Nope but I use RivaTuner which is basically the same thing. I use to use RivaTuner ... but this seems more user friendly. Profiles and settings are appreciated. Would the LockON profile be a good jump-off point? . *** Edit *** Tried using the LockON profile w/ BS and it made the sky flicker real bad. Gained about 5 FPS but couldn't take the flickering. . Edited January 13, 2009 by LIONPRIDE - - - - - - - - TO FLY IS HEAVEN. TO HOVER IS DIVINE - - - - - - [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

LIONPRIDE Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 . Found an interesting setting at SimForums.com. http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=27540&KW=strange+graphics+problems Pictures to make it easy too. I lost about 5 FPS from the settings but MAN ... it was worth it. The exhaust outta the KA is amazing. Never noticed it before. The cockpit windows look more realistic, the rotors don't look as hoaky, and the overall Antialiasing effects make it look great. . - - - - - - - - TO FLY IS HEAVEN.

Timm Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Hi Bud, Did you use the same as those shots, or have you changed anything ? Timm “Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.

LIONPRIDE Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 . Same as the screens you see there. I just got done taking some nice screens with those settings. Really nice. I'll post later. I noticed the ABRIS and the gauges look clearer now too. The gamma is set a little lower then I might set it manually, but no big deal. . - - - - - - - - TO FLY IS HEAVEN.

the_soupdragon Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Do you have to unindstall the nvidea control panel before installing Nhancer? Cheers SD [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Timm Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Hi Lionpride, Just done the same config as the screenies and I must say the cockpit is much sharper. The last shot is me just getting ready to head of to the range for some target practice, I changed the two Hinds for a couple of Blacksharks which gives it a nice touch. Thanks for sharing.Timm “Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes to us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands.

LIONPRIDE Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 . As you can see in the screens ... there's a place to 'point' to the DCS.exe file. I'm using the one shown for FSX and just added the DCS.exe to that list. Then use those screen-shots to make the rest of the settings. I'm sure there's some tweaking that could be done, but this was the best base I could find to start with. Glad to finally be helpful here ... :cry: . - - - - - - - - TO FLY IS HEAVEN.

TenBlade Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I think NickN´s profile for nHancer is your best bet. I´ll be setting up my nHancer in accordance with the recommended profile for FSX, http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=29041 there are screenies of his setup, not the newest edition of nHancer used, but shouldn´t be an issue. Have used his profile for FSX until recently where I went to win 7 64 bit, so I´m excited to see the effect. No need to uninstall nvidia control panel, nHancer will override.

majapahit Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I have a ASUS 8800GT 512MB and I just noticed that as soon I get IN the cloud (Georgian Oil War - start - @ 900meters) my framerate drops more than 1/2 from a nice 35-40 to 15-17 fps and stutters a bit just below the cloud averything is OK anything this is related to? would it be my 'modest' 512MB do newer cards dont have this problem my guess is, it's a rendering problem, would it be typical to this card or driver or is there a setting or fix? anyone has advice on this? thx running BS 1920x1200 with Nhancer AA4xS ans Filter 4x, seems low to me, picture looks A-OK | VR goggles | Autopilot panel | Headtracker | TM HOTAS | G920 HOTAS | MS FFB 2 | Throttle Quadrants | 8600K | GTX 1080 | 64GB RAM| Win 10 x64 | Voicerecognition | 50" UHD TV monitor | 40" 1080p TV monitor | 2x 24" 1080p side monitors | 24" 1080p touchscreen |
Icarus2 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I don't know why, but when I use the exact same settings in nVidia control panel and the same in nHancer, when the nHancer profile is activated it is noticibly better than when I use nVida CP. Not huge but I see a difference.
TenBlade Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Got some shimmering from Nickn´s profile. Will probably revert to default profile provided by nHancer Gigabyte X58A-UD5, i7 950 @ 3.96 GHz w.

TheMoose Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 With my GTX280 never had the need so far for nHancer. So no I don't use it.
