Nvidia Supersampling AA options?

I think you can force Supersampling (among other forms of AA) through the driver control panel.

Nvidia does not have this support in the control panel. It does have "Antialiasing - Transparency" Supersampling, but that does not work the same way as the "Antailising - Setting" supersampling. There is a rather large disparity in image quality.

Its been a while since I used a NVIDIA card, so you'll probably need to talk to someone who actually has one. I know supersampling is still supported (it was tested by anandtech for the 580 GTX), I just don't know where to enable it.

Sry for not being helpful on this one.

I did a few searches and reads, including anandtech's review, and it appears the closest I could find out about an official SSAA is they were speculating thaty they'd have either SSAA or a combonation of SSAA and MSAA with the new gtx580 before it was released. It appears as though they still don't have an official version.

For now, I've decided to use the older drivers, which has terrible performance (it was the first set of drivers that worked for the 470). Dragon Age: Origins isn't too demanding, so it seems fine. I'll just have to update drivers for more demanding games later.

The big deal on SSAA is that it fixes aliasing on the entire scene, not just around objects. This is usually most notable when you see fields of grass with lots of jaggies on the blades and in trees, as these are in the textures, and not around objects. MSAA only fixes jaggies around objects. SSAA fixes them all.

Personally, I'd rather NVIDIA/ATI implement the HQ2x full-screen filters and call it a day...

...that would actually be a very interesting comparision to make, a quality/performance between various forms of AA and the HQ2x filter...(goes off the write some test program...)

ATI's HD 5xxx and 6xxx cards actually have super sampling, which do look quite impressive when used. I'm not sure why Nvidia is so reluctant to give it to the public. nHancer has been allowing it for years for Nvidia cards.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks

It looks like it works! The only problem is it doesn't work for 1 game, Gothic 3, but that's another issue. (nHancer had a fix for it, but it was a special fix).

Best answer selected by bystander.
