FSAA on Radeons?

RF · January 31st, 2003, 22:04

I found this tool called radeonator. Im just wondering if indeed my radeon can do fsaa? Is this even fsaa? (see screenie). Also what speeds should I set my card at? I know to increase it bit by bit but how fast should I increase it. Every five mins?

Radeon 9000's can ideed do FSAA. They use the same super sampling method that 8500's use

You have a Radeon 9000 Pro. Of course you can do full screen anti aliasing. Just use your ATi control panel. No need for additional software ^^

Radeon 9000/8500 support 2 sample. 4 sample and 6 sample Ordered Grid Super Sampling.

**cooliscool** · January 31st, 2003, 22:07

Yeah, but super sampling AA causes quite a performance hit.

Im wondering what tom_e and demigod have theirs set at.....even though this is a non pro. I just benchmarked and got 3700...(approx. I cant find the damn number in 3dmark, it was 3697 or something.)

With smoothvision it makes some stuff transparent, sometimes the floors are seethru and in splintercell you can see lights through walls etc.

Strange, Smoothvision is anti aliasing. But it's only truly taken advantage of if someone codes for it.

If stuff is becoming transparent then it seems like a driver issue. Because I never experienced that kind of thing.

In Regards to my Radeon 8500 I try and keep 4x enabled on it. But generally. I can't do more than 2x. Performance hit is nasty. I would stick to 2x if I were you.

RF · January 31st, 2003, 22:21

Alright, I got gta3 working. I found it was my amd drivers that were f'in it up b4 on my old xp install. I will put it on 4 and see what its like. Will I get any more fps if I push my card clock any higher, no higher then 275?

Yes, smoothvision is ATI's FSAA and I don't recommend using it, as it kills fps like no other

. It could be useful for older games (for psx emulation it could be acceptable) but not for newer ones. I just use 16x AF and leave it at that.

Are you using the latest drivers? This is a bug I experienced with an older driver and UT2K3.
