I was farming outcasts in rheas (no luck on the new stuff yet)- just thought I'd post a pic after screening this one =] forced ansio at 16x - 12x aa on ati

Wait, 16x ansio and 12x anti aliasing in Guild Wars? How?

Mustache Mayhem · Aug 18, 2006, 08:06 PM // 20:06

use powerstrip/tweakxp for overclocking and the ati control panel to override gw- you get mad frames and looks alot better than using the aa option in gw

I'm sure lots of people would be your friend if you posted some more details about that. =)

the engine is good.. been running gw like this since last year at refresh rate 85hz (vsync on- no frame loss even in pvp and towns where fps takes hit) just override in the driver.. games like fear you'll notice a big hit but gw just runs smooth.. I use powerstrip for game profiles.. let's you o/c each game differently.. tried setting up aa profiles too with powerstrip but that did'nt work out too well (did'nt set them right every launch)- I just set the aa in a saved profile on the control panel and then launch the game with clock speeds from powerstrip.. had a friend come over and see the game he ended up buying prophecies the next day.. just always been impressed with the graphics engine

If i ever get my 7900gtko rig to work, i would sure love to see the game like that.

bah i dont realy want to know for gw but id like to try with oblivion

Zakarr · Aug 19, 2006, 07:42 AM // 07:42

At least for Radeon X800 series, forced AA doesn't work. GW menu has 2x and 4x and only setting it from there will apply the AA. More important thing about AF is the angle-independent filtering. This feature is at least in Geforce 78xx/79xx and Radeon X18xx/X19xx series. It will make blur angles sharp, giving more noticeable effect than 8xAF vs 16xAF

May I ask, how you get 12xAA for ATI cards? You must have dual cards in Crossfire mode or something.

If GW looks like crap on your 6600, you've set the card to optimize for speed, not quality... Set the card to do maximum quality, go in to GW options, drag the quality slider all the way to the right, turn on post-processing and 2-4x anti-aliasing.

You can get 12x aa and 16x aniso through the nVidia drivers (in Cnntrol Panel/Display/Advanced/<your card>, but you'll need to enable "classical view" as nVidia has decided to hide all useful settings from the user in their 'new and improved' interface) but it wont make any visible difference, so don't bother.

lol gw doesnt require much 3d power, it runs smoothly at 1280x1024 with 4xAA n everything max on my 6800gt. it even runs 1280x1024 ok on gefore 5500.

but i would love to c screenshot of gw at 2560x1600 with everything max on 7950gx2 sli.

So why doesnt it work for Guild Wars? I am just learning about this " profile " thing under my control panel, and I tried it out for Call of Duty and I was amazedb by the AA and Anisotropic. I went to go add a profile, Guild Wars, and I have it at the AA and Anisotropic that I wanted but it wouldnt work, which is what you stated that it would make any visual improvements. I also noticed that the profile I made for the Guild Wars never saved to the menu, even though I hit " save settings " multiple times. Does this work for every game except Guild Wars?
