The only time I saw poor AA was with a corrupt NI profile. Make sure the profile gets created fresh, then make the transparency AA setting. All I can think of right now.

I don't really need transparency anti-aliasing. If I can get MSAA working as good as when I had the AMD GPU, I'll be fine. But I honestly don't understand what happened to the in-game AA option.

 

Would clicking "Restore current profile to NVIDIA defaults" fix a corrupted profile?

I deleted the NI profile and exit, then use the NVidia control panel to "Restore" defaults, before going back to NI. Not sure if that helps.

It looks to me that the tail numbers are just a bad repaints job; speaking as one who has been there and done that.

 

Sorry, but I'm not seeing your issue. Under magnification, both photos have almost identical jaggies in all the places you've marked. However, 1. Are you in windowed or full-screen mode and 2. Did The sim set the video card to the max monitor resolution of your monitor, or the same resolution as before?

To be fair, the AMD one looks like it's slightly better, like a post process.

It's not an issue with the paint job (this is the default C172 by the way), the tail numbers look smooth only when you have SSAA on. In both screenshots I have MSAA.

 

I am running in fullscreen at 1920x1080, my monitor's native resolution. The issue is with my NVIDIA GPU I'm getting consistently worse anti-aliasing on FSX and Microsoft Flight compared to my AMD GPU, whatever I'm doing.

The AMD what?

didn't you say the better one was from the AMD card?

 

 

Caution, PNG images below. I've highlighted points of interest.

 

In-game AA, looks crap compared to when I had an AMD GPU: http://i.cubeupload.com/CzS9YL.png

 

8x MSAA from NVIDIA Inspector, looks better but still not as good as in-game AA used to be: http://i.cubeupload.com/YO61NY.png

 

I'd try CSAA, but it has been removed from Maxwell.

 

or what are you comparing here then? lol

 

did you try the setup I suggested?

This first screenshot is from the in-game AA, the second one is 8x MSAA from NVIDIA Inspector. I explained what I used next to each link. Both screenshots were taken right after you asked, on my NVIDIA GPU. In-game AA on my AMD GPU looked better than both of these screenshots.

 

And yes, I tried what you suggested and I said that I see no difference in polygon edges.

So how do you compare it to your AMD then? After all, those shots you presented were fairly well anti-aliased.

Because I remember that the anti-aliasing with my AMD GPU was perfect. Now, both with the in-game AA and 8x MSAA (or any other SSAA mode) from NVIDIA Inspector, I can notice jaggies very easily. I'm sure that this is not an illusion or something, Microsoft Flight is suffering from the exact same problem as well.

 

I'm starting to think that anti-aliasing with NVIDIA is worse than AMD after all.

You could be right. What driver 337.88?

 

I can't see why yours would be any different to anyone else. There's something you overlooked.

 

A lot of people swear that the graphics in FSX when using DX10 mode are superior to DX9, but that is not the case on my existing PC.

You could be right. What driver 337.88?

 

340.43, which is beta but doesn't have any known issues with anti-aliasing. I'll revert to 337.88 anyway, wouldn't hurt a try.

I'd say there's a big difference with DX10 over 9, faster fps, and much more realistic lighting, better looking clouds, and shadows and bloom in the interior shots makes the DX9 VC look 2D.

This is where I go for nvidia settings:
