Title: Mass Effect 3 AA
Post by: Crybertrance on March 23, 2012, 03:21:40 am

Guys I was trying to find a way to force AA in ME3 on my 1440*900 rez display. I doesn't work. but if I reduce the resolution by a little AA works perfectly. I found a fix for 1680*1050 rez displays but sadly, the tweak doesn't work on my resolution...Anyway to force AA on my resolution?

You could try forcing it on the driver level.  I know nvidia has the capability to force an accelerated program to perform AA.

You'd probably get better results trying Bioware support.

ME3 has very good FXAA.

Get Nvidia Inspector, remove ME3's executable from its own profile, add it to ME2's profile, add 4x multisampling and 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling (under supersampling transparency AA).  This works MUCH better than its built in crap FXAA.

I forgot to add to the OP that I am running an AMD HD 5770 1Gb. OC'ed to 960/1380 (core/mem), so I cant use NVidia Inspector... :(

If you try forcing AA on ME3 (CCC, RadeonPro, other software here) on ANY setting, it has no effect (framerate or visual quality) whatsoever on a 1680*1050 resolution setting. (only the FXAA option works), UNLESS you use the tweak mentioned in the link in the OP or you lower your resolution.

Now as far as I've searched, I only found the tweak for a 1680*1050 resolution. But I believe that even running the game on a 1440*900 rez causes the bug above (strange, isn't it) because if I lower the resolution to 1360*1024 (one step lower) AA kicks in... I was wondering if the HEX tweak would work for me.

Very good "FXAA" - Yes :nod:
Very good "AA"   -  HELL NO.... *nuff said* :mad:
