AA/AF Splinter cell 2....

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati (More info?)

Using a 9800PRO and cat 4.4 drivers I set the custom settings in the drivers
to 6xAA and 16X AF and texture preference and mipmap detail level is set to
high quality. Basically turned everything I could find onto the highest
quality setting.

Now I thought these settings were surposed to make everything smooth but I
still notice (hard to miss really) jagged lines in splinter cell 2. The
shadows are really jagged. Is this because the game is cancelling out these
quality settings or is AA and AF not doing what I thought they should be
doing?

If its the same engine as SC, which I think it is, it is incompatible
with FSAA.

Yeah, noticed the same on my 9600Pro ... AA/AF have no effect on Pandora
Tomorrow. Decent enough game, but the "jaggies" are really annoying.

send me a new monitor ;-)
