MSAA quality - can't change
by JWL3 on Wed Oct 29, 2008 4:31 am
Anyone else not able to change this setting? I'm able to set MSAA to 8x but the second line - MSAA quality, I can't change. Pretty weird as I'm sure I was able to change it on my friend's system. He has an 8800GT. I have a Radeon 4850.

For ati it loads 8xMSAA
and on nvdia it loads 4xMSAA & 8xCSAA.. its Nvdia trick... they spend a lot of money to make game developers support NV
I found about it in some crysys forums, I see what I can do

I almost never use AA (my video cards were never powerful enough to run at 1680x1050 AND have AA). That's why I always thought it was better looking to have the game do the AA and not the driver software.

you can change msaa quality in the config.cfg file.
but for me(radeon4870) setting it to something other than 0 actually decreased graphics quality(i got more jagged edges, especially visible in the menus). i have now set atic ccc to let the game handle msaa(8x) and only forced anisotropic filtering to 16x in ccc.
