I see jagged lines on Geralt's sword, but it's not too noticeable. Two video cards can do 16X AA :P

Anyone have those awesome images of Mirrors Edge running on high? That game looks absolutely beast!

Yum.

Though to be fair, either the game has to be fairly low end (e.g. Prototype); or you need a beefy GPU to crank it all the way to 32x.

Na this is better :P

[QUOTE="abuabed"]Thanks! :) *downloading*lundy86_4

One of the best graphics mods ever created. Sits in at a hefty 10gb's or so :P

jesus christ those witcher 2 pics look amazing...

lazerface216

Yeah witcher 2 is up there

My settings go up to 24x depending on what type of filter I use.

How do you get 32x option? My gtx 260 only shows 16xQ

Why is this in SW?iAtrocious

Pc is a gaming system as well in case you forgot and it is also the most flexible and powerful with the best online gaming. Welcome to system wars.

The GTX 400's can do 32x AA, You see below those are my options for my 8800GT's in SLI max being SLI 32xQ AA.

mw2...yes mw2, it looks amazing on the pc.dakan45

actually I agree with you. MW2 doesn't have the most technically impressive textures or other effects, but with the resolution and AA turned up the art style and attention to detail makes most of the environments look very rich. And it performs well which is a plus!

Can't say the same for black ops though :(SPBoss

Yah even World at War looks better than Black Ops.

I don't have anything to back up which cards can do what but here's my personal experience.

When I had 1 GTX460, I could force it to 16xQ.

Now in SLI, I get all the way up to 32Q/64xAA.

In other words, I believe single Nvidia cards only go to 16xQ, at least 460s and below. Vid Memory may have an effect on it.

In Test Drive Unlimited I put it to 4aa, and then in nvidia control panel put it to 16xq.. does this mean its running at 64aa? I really have no idea how AA works when you combine it from driver forced aa and game settings aa.. sorry if its a noob question lol

Ok, as i mentioned, I could force up to 16xQAA with a single GTX460, here's what 2 of them looks like:

If the game you're playing already supports AA, you choose to "improve program setting" (whatever it's called in your language) and chose the kind of AA you want. Set the AA level to whatever in game.

If it does'nt support AA (like every single UE3 console port), you choose "ignore program setting" and force the kind of AA you want.

Edit: Sry about the non english pics...

Editedit: And to actually answer your question, The level of AA you get is what you choose in the control panel. I suppose the point of being able to "improve" AA in a game that already supports it, is to get it higher than the game allows. World of Warcraft FX, only supports up to 8x.

It does? I just ordered BO off amazon for 40 some bucks and beat WAW 2 weeks ago, and I wonder how, also, hopefully they get those mod tools in soon.mitu123

Black Ops only has better lighting. WaW, in my opinion, looks better than Black Ops.

Ok so enhancing an aa profile doesn't actually multiply the aa in-game? If a game is 4aa and I set nvidia control panel to 16xq enhance mode would the 'overall' aa be 16xq and completely ignore in game aa?

ATI drivers aren't as leet? I can only go up to 8x AA, although it does go up to 24x sampling using the edge-detect method.

Crysis

Metro 2033

Empire Total War (Sheer amount of people on screen and the fact that it still looks amazing)

Arma 2

Bad Company 2

That second picture looks more like concept art than an actual in-game screenshot. I wish CoP looked that good.

And that third picture basically proved my point.

Mind you I think Call of Pripyat is great, but the one thing that holds it back is the dated X-Ray engine. It sports nice little bits here and there, but for the most part it's looking a little ugly.

Sigh... Not a week goes by that a new user doesn't use their very first post to necro a dead thread from years ago. Make a new thread if you want to talk about it.

He can't, you need to be level 10 to start a thread. This is pretty much the next best way for a new poster to start (or restart) a topic.

@op

The thread may be 2 years old but the consoles haven't changed, so I guess it's still relevant and a lot of the games listed as graphics kings still very much are. i.e. Witcher 2, Total War, Metro, Stalker (modded)

Damn zombie thread from this season but from 2 years ago. :x

Personally, Vanilla Crysis is showing it's age..really not all that impressive anymore unmodded.

- The Witcher 2

- Crysis (Crysis 1 and 2)

- Metro

- ARMA2: Operation Arrowhead

- Total War Shogun2

- BF3

- Farcry3

- Mirrors Edge

All very good looking games

crysis is the only one im going to put down ,
