Author Topic: FSAA messing up clipboard? (Read 232 times)

I've been playing with the different FSAA settings nvidia provides me lately, and seeing what detriment they have on my fps in-game.

I tried 2x, and didn't notice much of a drop. So I tried 2xQ. This was still easily done. However I wasn't 100% happy with the way the FSAA looked, so I bumped it up to full 4xS, and on the clipboard the dots were 2x as wide as they should have been. When people used vox the vox square was 2x wide as well. All were normal height, but 2x as wide as they were tall. This was really odd.

Revert to lower settings and this problem goes away.

Using Detonator 61.77 on a Ge4400Ti (128MB) with a P4 2.6GHz 512MB ram system.

Why does 4xS fsaa do that to the clipboard?

The AA is broken in the 4000 series of the NVidia cards.

lol good to know.

Broken how? I know that 2x and 2xQ aren't very impressive, but does this mean that 2x and 2xQ look better on different cards?

For the 4400 series, does it matter that I have a Titanium series card? I have heard they were the "Ultra" card of their time.

It does not matter which version of the 4000 series you have. The first working AA NVidia had was in the 5000 series and even it suffers a bit from too much overhead and a poor grid sampling choice.
The 6000 series had the first really decent AA implementation from NVidia and the 7000 series improves on it with a better grid sampling algorithm.
