How did you justify buying +400$ videocard then?. Man you need a new monitor and that's final.

Well that was different, my 9700 pro died and I needed to replace it. I couldn't justify $250 for a 9800 Pro at the time, so I took the leap and got the X800.

She didn't even get pissed at me, she knows I'm week that way.

New monitor soon, after we pay off yearly property taxes this month and things ain't quite so tight.

But 1600 with 6x is REALLY sweet. If it could only run at more than a dosen fps...well, next-gen is around the corner it seems.

didn't you read my post ? Its 60fps + with hdr enabled (The moded hdr) that isn't enough for temporal aa but its mroe than enough for a fun day of playing

Well it looks like for whatever reason I will never get SSAA on my radeon. This was a year ago, and CM promised big things that would make us forget about SSAA well I don't know what those were... but I guess someone was excited by it maybe.

I think next time I will have to go back to Nvidia, I have been pining for SSAA for years now it is kinda frustrating, I thought ATI would enable it.

This directx tweaker says I can get SSAA at least, but it is kind of a pain.

Do the omega drivers or any others like that allow it?

the "big thing" was T-AA on R3x0.

Big where? There were a couple very long threads here about it. None of the reviewers including B3D seemed to give it any attention. Was it ever officially marketed by ATI or just something people found in the drivers?

its marketed and a part of the feature set and you can turn it on and off in the control panel .

The reason why reviewers don't go over it is because you can't see its effect in screen grabs . You have to see it in motion as it alternates the sample pattern every other frame and gives the effect of a higher sample rate than you would see if it was the same sample pattern each frame .

It looks really really good if your rig can handle it . On my 9700pro i used to use 2x temporal instead of 4x regular as i would get about 15-20fps more that way and i couldn't tell a diffrence between the two modes .

With my x800xt pe some of my games will run 6x fsaa temporal , a good portion more will run 6x fsaa regular and the rest at 4

The only real problem about temporal is you need vsync on , you need to have framerates above the vysnc . So you would need 75fps if you have a 75hz refresh rate. When you go below this you get a slight shimmer and then another when you go back above the refreshrate .

I started to just leave it on as when its on it looks nicer and it shuts off when you go under the refresh rate

I didn't really, just clicked my way through the pics

Which mod is that? The one posted here a while ago?

http://www.fileplanet.com/150631/150...-HDR-Bloom-Mod


This is the mod . It looks very nice , it applys the effects on everything so you don't have to be looking at the light fixture to see the hdr affect .

Only problem is you have to replay the game as its installed as a mod and you can't use standard saves on it .

It looks really really nice and if its true that the valve hdr looks even beter then we are in for a real treat. This hdr looks as good as farcrys geforce 6 bloom

Thx, will try it!

no prob hope u enjoy

Hovs would disagree on anything that would allow a pc game to look better than a xbox or ps2 game . That is his nature . I don't tollerate him anymore , not after he called sonic hitler .

XL, particularly if you use 4xAA/8xAF and up at 1280x or greater. Many XLs are showing 440-480 on the core. Mine does 461/1.10 and is a great card.

So I suppose temporal AA would apply to the whole screen as well right? Maybe I will have to try it. I will use it for a bit and mayhaps I will love it :P
