DX10 = no TrAA
Nope, Min drops to 33fps and average down to 50fps in DX9 4xTRSAA so still extremely playable
Can anybody with Fermi hardware confirm that SGSSAA works in DX10?

That would make the decision between HD6950 and GTX560 Ti easy.

It's already been confirmed here with-in the last few pages of this thread iirc...
It just doesn't look as good as TRSAA on ATI though imo...
And personally I would just buy 2x 5850's and piss on both those cards....
Heh, well two 5850s would mean a new mobo and PSU at the very least. And still no SGSSAA in DX10, not to mention the fact that my monitor is 1440x900
() where Crossfire/SLI doesn't scale so well.I feel so 2008 now

What hardware you running ATM?
E6750 @ 3.2GHz, 4GB DDR2-800, GTX260 192sp version with a slight factory OC.
TBH it blows the nuts off of most things at my res, but I've been holding off on some things (the more recent Stalkers, Metro, and some others) until I can enjoy the DX11 goodness and high IQ settings. Not to mention Crysis 2 which would cause me to upgrade all by itself. And I would very much like to run Crysis and its mods with good IQ.

ATI only allow OGSSAA in DX9, not in other API
Downsampling from a higher res in-game or using Tommti's tool *is* OGSSAA. It's just that OGSSAA kinda sucks.
I can tell you that with your CPU I wouldn't bother with a new GPU.
It's already bottlenecking your GTX260 so a faster GPU would just be a waste..
The clock speed is just too low, if you could get it up to say around 4Ghz it would be 'ok'
The problem is your low resolution places more strain on the CPU....
I ran a GTX 580 (two of them actually - one at a time - as both eventually failed on VRAM with NO overclocking which is why I now have 6970s in CFX) with a c2q Q9550@3.4 GHz and the 580 made a huge IQ difference over the 5870 it replaced. If you're lucky enough to get a good card the 580 is a great upgrade to the 260.
almighty - the place he's NOT bottlenecking is AA.
Not with his CPU it isn't....
Well I think he should get the 580 and then buy my old Q9550 and clock it to 3.6GHz
3.6Ghz isn't enough...4Ghz atleast on the old Core 2 Quads..
My mobo doesn't support SLI, but I wouldn't really want that anyway.
I am definitely CPU limited in many games now, but still almost always stay above the 30fps mark. A better GPU would allow for more AA (especially at 900p) and higher settings in most games. But I found myself doing that "click around on Newegg and build a fake new system" thing earlier today... this is how it starts :smile:
Mize you are looking to part with that Q9550?

I went from a 5870 to a 580 and was able to crank AA for virtually no hit. Sure I was probably cpu limited in many games, but the CPU doesn't touch AA.
PM about the Q9550 homerdog.

nice to see Crysis still around .
I've just installed windows 7 (cause there's hardly anything to run on linux past quake live and old counterstrike) and the Crysis demo (unpatched it seems, from 2007).
my recent gt240 512MB gddr5 does the job as well as expected, I was targetting 1024x768 4x AA with high-ish settings, and it does a mix of high and very high (i.e. didn't care to enable "very high" shadows), transparency supersampling without breaking a sweat (well, 30fps-ish somewhat)
CPU is an athlon II X2 250, memory 2GB PC5300. semi-dead mobo (two dimm slots fried and all overclockability lost)
the game is not bad at all but a bit ridiculous in medium difficulty - you can stand insane amount of heavy machine gun fire.
tweaking that game is FUN, it reminds me of how to best make games look awesome on a voodoo5 or on a ti4200.
I ran into the trouble of the 60Hz DX10 bug. refresh forcing tools fail at it. had to drop back to DX9 which runs at 85Hz with no refresh tool at all (I'm favorably impressed about this, microsoft mostly ended the 60Hz stupidity) and ran into the stupidity of it being crippled to high - I thought the game looked so bad I had some kind of fuck up. really the game looks blurry and more like Far Cry 1 that way, and I'm the kind of guys able to play quake 2 engine games.
have yet to try "regular" TrSSAA rather than sparse grid. (funny : with very high post-processing and sparse grid TrSSAA, the game is both ridiculously blurred and awesomely smooth). also overclock the card which I have good hopes for (it stays cool and fan stays at minimum)
