There is a 64cvaa option that works really well; why dont you try that?

 

I tried over clocking my 560ti Eva OC bit it kept crashing in battlefield 3. Oh well.

If you ment for me, been there, done that. My combo has better picture quality.

 

If not, never mind ^_^

What settings are you running now Word Not Allowed?

 

Will give it a go when I get back home

8xS + 2xSGSS.

Hello guys, I came into this thread and found it very interesting. I have a GTX560Ti (Gigabyte OC edition) too.

My problem is the extremely bad shimmering in many payware airports. Fences, light poles, apron lamp lights blinking like a crazy. It is very annoying because IQ is not clean and sharp.

Setting in nVidia Inspector 8xS + 2xSGSS I have a pretty well result (shimmering defeated closely to 95%) but the performance are not so good. I have some microstutters on the ground while taxiing or taking-off, which is also annoying.

To reduce microstutters I have tried many things. FPS Limiter is not good, D3DX9 antilag is better IMHO.

Only way to reduce shimmering is using sparse grid SS as transparency filter, but it comes with a fps drop.

What do you think about it?

Thanks, bye.

 

Happy Easter.

Riccardo,

 

You can't have both with GTX560Ti. You have a 250€ card vs 480€ one (mine). Using 8xS+2xSGSS is taxiing on the card. Quite much. You can try running 8xSQ, maybe its gonna give you better results, but also do expect quite a performance drop (GTX580 is about 33% faster when it comes to IQ, as measured on another forum), and you might get more shimmering than with the above combo.

Hi Word Not Allowed,

I have already tried these settings: 8xSQ + 2xSS, 8xSQ + 4xSS, 8xS + 2xSS. Neither of them can fix shimmering problems, also using a powerful transparency filter like SS (2x or 4x) does not lead to a solution.

I am thinking to change my GPU for a ATI HD7950. What I have read about ATI & FSX is not good but I don't know if it is changed something with the new HD 7xxx cards.

I am very disappointed.

Why would you go ATI? Get a powerful Nvidia card, and you'll be singin. GTX560Ti is good for anything else but heavy IQ.

I have always read that for playing in FSX you don't need a high-end GPU because the GPU load for rendering is quite low. Now, is this statement valid no more?

The general consensus is that FSX needs more on the CPU side than on the GPU, when it comes to raw rendering. And this point is valid. But, what the consensus forgot to tell, is that if you want decent picture quality with a really high IQ - something that you apparently also like - is that a better card is of a high benefit.

 

I for one never said 560Ti is enough for FSX. Nor I never agreed to that point.

Ok Word Not Allowed,

I understand your words. I thought wrong, having FSX only a small part (20-30%?) of its load demanded to the GPU, I thought that there would not have been a great difference (in terms of fps) between cards.

So, actually, do you consider a GTX570 a good card to manage a 8xS + 2xSGSS setting without or with minor performance drop?

Any comment of GTX570 owners would be very appreciated about this setting.

 

Thanks.

 

 

edit: GTX570 has a wider memory bus (320bit) so more bandwidth, but in general a worse GPU/Memory clock than my Gigabyte GTX560 Ti OC. In which features it is a better card compared with a GTX560 Ti OC?

I wonder how many GTX580 users actually run high AA levels. Combine those who don't even know about Inspector and those who just follow the guides (8xS or 8xSQ) and I'm pretty sure the vast majority is running IQ levels a $200 card can cope with with grunt to spare

Completely agree to that. But as you see, there is the "other" kind too, who eventually maybe get disappointed.

 

It is a strong discussion point if you push people to get GTX580 and then have no problems, or you push them to get 560Ti, and then risking they get into problems, like Rick here.

With my 560Ti, I have excellent results with both 8S + 2xSGSS and 8SQ + 4xSS. All I have done is follow the TABS sticky on the PMDG forum to help set up Nvidia Inspector. This is not to say that my framerates are as high as someone with a 580 card but in terms of image quality, no shimmering (or very very minor) and clear crisp image.

TABS' sticky doesn't mention SGSS. Are you sure you are trying 2xSGSS and not just 2xSS as advised in that thread?
