Neverending Upscaling/Resolutions/AA etc Thread #2 *Rules: post: #616 *

Thank you very much.

 

yup, aliasing on both. IGN even says the anti-aliasing is better on the ps3, while other sites say the ps3 version looks cleaner. maybe the post processing effects paired with the slightly lower resolution and scaled, hides the aliasing better than the AAx2 on the 360 version.

 

I saw some screenshots where the aliasing was very clear and it sure didn't look like any AA was in use. Instead it looked like a blur filter.

 

I wonder what kind of performance improvement we'd see with GTAIV at 1152x640 with no AA (or tiling) on 360.

 

remember - gears of war, UT3 engine - no AA - but not that much jaggies due to some clever filters applied.

 

4xaa would have been nice.

 

Reminds me of Crysis and how I in many situations find the use of edge aa (also blurs edges) to give a softer look and harder to find jaggies than 2xAA in many situations.

EDIT: Though the edge AA in Crysis is the best I've seen in any game so far so maybe it is not a 'good to use example'.

 

That makes me wonder if any of the version is using anisotropic filtering and if so to what level.

 

I just counted these myself and got the same findings as Quaz:

The opposite kerb in this 360 image gives 720p

The neon bar above the bowling lane, and the bottom edge of the "Memory Lanes" sign in this PS3 image give 640p.

 

AlStrong when is the list of rendering resolutions going to be updated? Looks like there's so much missing there.

 

indeed the eDRAM size (and ROPs) are more MSAAx4 compliant but still rarely use even now

 

Don't think this will help a lot but its a comparison so i guess it will tell us something about the final results though its not nearly as good as the real thing. http://www.gamersyde.com/news_6399_en.html

 

Since the PS3 version doesn't use AA, it is possible that they are using FP16 for HDR, right? Also could they have used Quantix(I'm not saying they did I'm asking could they have.) and been able to use FP16 at the same time?

 

Uncharted for example I think it was tested here wasn't it?

Edit: I just noticed it has a lot of new stuff, its my brain that needs an update sorry

 

It might be best to just store this info in a public google spreadsheet.

I can help set that up if needed...
