go into your card setting in the Nvidia control panel type thingy.

[bumfire]

Right click on an empty part of your desktop and then select Nvidia Control Panel, or you can enter it via your computer control panel, but doing it via the desktop is the quickest way.

 

At the top under the View option select Advanced

 

Then select "Use Advanced 3D Image Settings"

 

In the right hand pane select "Manage 3D Settings"

 

Now, Look for "AntiAliasing-Mode" and set it to "Override Any Application Setting",without having it set to Override, you wont be able to force AntiAliasing on in Blackshark, so you NEED to have it set to Override.

 

Then That will open up a setting directly below that called "Antialiasing-Setting" set that to anything from disabled to the lowest setting which is 2x all the way upto 16xQ, 4x will be good for you, even 8x will work, but 4x will be good and get rid of your jaggies.

 

You also have further Antialiasing settings, "Antialiasing-Gamma Correction" and also "Antialiasing-Transparency"

 

Your card should be able to handle "4x for Antialiasing-Setting, with Gamma Correction enabled and Transparency Multisampling enabled", SuperSampling for Transparency is hard on the video card depending on the type of game, a 8800gt isnt the strongest of cards nowadays even though they are still great cards, but supersampling isnt the best option for this game, it will slow down your video card and not produce that much of a difference in picture IQ, best to stick with Multisampling.

 

I have found that with supersampling enabled, if you look closely their is diagonal lines going across the ground, that only happens with supersampling enabled, so I suspect that their is a clash somewhere with the video drivers and the game engine when it comes to Supersampling since it is a newish technology/option on video cards.

If your game runs good with those settings and with 16xAnisotropicFiltering then I would try 8x Antialiasing and see if the game was still smooth, you DONT need to go higher than 8x

 

 

That should get you up and running.

 

If your wondering why I went overboard with the bold text, I did it to a couple of things and decided to do it for everything else since I was bored :)

nice one bumfire thanks for your help

It would be better to assign it to the DCS.exe under "program settings" tab... otherwise your turning on AA globally. Which might not be a good idea for other games.
