October 30, 201510 yr Hi I've been struggling with the Anti Aliasing for a very long time in P3D v3. Its very shimmery and the planes looks "liny" and ugly. First i thought it was my 130$ monitor so i bought a QHD 2560x1440p IPS but that didn't solve the problem at all. Have you guys any suggestions on whats the problem? I currently run a GTX 970 with i7 4790k @4.4Ghz. Good day Jacob
October 30, 201510 yr Hi, the usual suggestion is to use Nvidia Inspector and switch Antialiasing to "Enhance the Application Setting" and "Transparency Supersampling" to 4x "SGSS" (Sparse Grid Supersampling). This should be accompanied by an in-game AA setting of 4x. Just google for details. This inevitably incurs a framerate loss which may or may not be acceptable, but you have a strong system, thus try it. I use the same monitor resolution as you, but a GTX 760 and find AA not that bad, although there is certainly room for improvement.

October 31, 201510 yr Michael gave the answer. However, if FPS are an issue (especially in clouds) you could also try 2xSGSS NI and 8 x MSAA ingame. Regards, Chris -- PC: Intel 13900K, Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090, 64GB Fury Beast DDR5 RAM; Display: Varjo Aero VR
October 31, 201510 yr Try 8xSS in NI and 8x MSAA in game. Read that on P3D forum Ivan Majetic ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO; 7900X3D; NZXT KRAKEN ELITE 360, GIGABYTE RTX 4080; G.SKILL TridentZ NEO RGB DDR5 64 Gb, WD HDD 2TB, SAMSUNG 980PRO, SAMSUNG 970EVO Plus 2x, ALIENWARE 3423DWF
October 31, 201510 yr Here is my setting. Remember to apply this in Nvidia Inspector every time you are updating/installing drivers. Svein T Multi Crew script and checklist
October 31, 201510 yr Author Thanks guys for the help. I will try these methods and let you know how it works! /Jacob
October 31, 201510 yr Author Bad news. Can't see any difference between using NI and not. Im starting to wonder if its my GTX 970 thats the problem.
October 31, 201510 yr I believe the screenshot above is incorrect. You need to set antialiasing mode to "enhance the application setting" and antialiasing transparency supersampling to 4x sparse grid super sampling. In P3D you must set MSAA to match the 4x or 8x you put in NI. So in this case I'd recommend 4x as 8x cripples performance when flying in heavy clouds. There should be a big difference in appearance.

Per Steves instruction from another post its override application which is what I use - so it appears to be fine as posted above Rich Sennett
October 31, 201510 yr SGSS (particularly 8X) is still very hard on performance, particularly in dense clouds. As you have a 970, you have another option which is the ability to enable Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) through the Nvidia Control panel, which allows for much improved AA with low-no performance impact, even allowing you to run in-sim MSAA as low as 2X. You can also do away with using NVI which is a plus. To enable: - head into the Nvidia Control Panel and set DSR factors to something like 2X, and set the DSR Smoothness to the default of 33% to start. Click apply. Your desktop resolution should remain as-is; all you've enabled is the ability to select the higher DSR resolution within an application. - Next, go into the display settings in P3D and select the new DSR resolution from the dropdown - you likely won't notice anything change immediately. - Then, load up a flight and alt+enter twice to toggle in and out of windowed mode. DSR should now be enabled (the red info text will be much smaller, but the change in AA should also be immediately apparent). - When you exit P3D, you resolution should switch back to your default. Note: This method is only available on Maxwell and later GPUs.

Be sure to use the correct profile and select apply changes and run NI as admin.. Also check your settings in Nvidia control panel Svein T Multi Crew script and checklist
October 31, 201510 yr I use "Enhance Application Settings" not override. Also recommend you don't run a different DXGI (like SweetFX/Reshade and/or any product that puts a DXGI in the root of P3D). As far as monitors, one step up to 4K will make the AA look great without having to use NI SGSS AA. Cheers, Rob.
October 31, 201510 yr I too use "Enhance the Application Setting" and "4x Sparse Grid Super Sampling". Mind you, it's a moot point these days, since Nvidia Inspector ignores any changes that I try to make :mad: Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
October 31, 201510 yr Try 8xSS in NI and 8x MSAA in game. Read that on P3D forum This setting will not eliminate cockpit panel shimmering such as in Carenados Kingair C90B. For that at least 2 x SGSS is required. Regards, Chris -- PC: Intel 13900K, Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090, 64GB Fury Beast DDR5 RAM; Display: Varjo Aero VR
