Constant struggle with AA

Featured Replies

My system: i7 [email protected], RTX 2080, 32B Ram@ 4000mhz, SSD's yada yada.

I have never had good anti aliasing on my system and P3D is the worst. All the straight edges of wings for example always have shimmering no matter what my settings are. The aircraft in the scenerio preview window don't seem to be using AA aither as they always have jaggies tp some extent. Certain drivers seem to be better than others, but I've never had the quality of AA I would expect from a RTX 2080. Just when I see some improvement, something will change, driver update, P3D update, add on installation, and then I'm right back struggling with settings again. MFAA, NVCP, on helps with distant shimmering but I still have annoying artifacts on surfaces such as reflective wing leading edges, distant runway and taxi lines and especially when panning.

I literally spend 10x more time messing with settings and add on issues as I do flying my cartoon airplane.

The best I can get right now is with P3D handling all of the AA etc, set to application controlled in NVCP. I do have MFAA on, texture filtering to ultra and power to high performance. I also have my DSR factors set to 2.00x and the resolution matching in P3d which takes an extra .5GB of VRAM to render but otherwise my rendering is atrocious.

Anyone settled on a good Nvidia driver? 

Anybody? Bueller?

These screens were taken after resetting NCP to default, native resolution of 3440x1440, P3D texture resolution high and 4xSSAA. In addition to the jaggies, the edges shimmer and become "strobe-y" whith movement or panning. Additionally, the aircraft in the preview window do not seem to be AA'd at all.

I totally agree with Rob A's advice.  Also you could try doing a total uninstallation (DDU Program) of your graphics drivers and a fresh install.

Did it, rolled back drivers, rolled everything back to default in windows, nvidia, and P3D and started over one setting at a time, similar results. Always been an issue. I've achieved good results but never great. Even in DCS which looks really good, I've never been able to eliminate all of the shimmering edges and distant textures. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.

In the Nvidia Control Panel (access it by right clicking on your desktop) go to 3D 'Manage 3D Settings' in the left hand side list,  'Texture Filtering - Quality' , change that to: High Quality.

Changed things for me quite a bit.

Also, before you do that, put the nvidia settings back to default, with the 'restore' button, that got rid of the jaggies for me.

Don't have Image scaling/GPU Scaling & sharpening switched on - it creates the jaggies. (in the nvidia control panel)

This chap's tutorial is one that really changed everything to very sharp for me: (tj pilot)
