Textures can crawl in many games, not just this one. blurring the screen to hell and back is one hell of a radical "solution" to the problem.

And, if you look at the box edges, you will notice that the MSAA component of the TXAA is very effectively dealing with the aliasing without any help from the other blurring.

You haven't seen TXAA in motion in tSW

screenshots do not do justice to the overall immersion. i much prefer the blur to the crawl

I haven't seen MSAA or SSAA in motion in that game either. I guarantee SSAA will look better than that blurred mess though, both in a still and in motion.

As for the texture crawl it sounds to me like the developer needs to revise their normal/bump/effect mapping techniques, because that will be the main reason for the texture crawl if AA can't fix it.

You won't see MSAA in motion neither in tSW. The option is for (1) FXAA or (2) TXAA or (3) no AA

Max Payne 3 gives you the choices between MSAA or FXAA or both.

Choose wisely

I bet there is an nvidia inspector option to force MSAA (haven't checked yet).

And I have chosen wisely. I've chosen not to touch either TSW or Max Payne 3.

Both are very good games.



LMK if you find a way to force MSAA for tSW please

I'm sure it will happen. MSAA is a component of TXAA, so the support is in the driver, just buried deep and needs digging out. Or it could be as simple as setting the AA Behaviour Flags to "None" in inpsector, then choosing whatever AA you want. Hard to say without testing the game for myself.

One may like to see some balanced alternative as well between FXAA HQ and TXAA, one may imagine. If one doesn't like the effect, one can use FXAAHQ but good lord, there is no comparison with movement though. There is a loss of detail trade-off for exceptional anti-aliasing while moving. If some-how Timothy can offer some flexibility to improve sharpness, man, would be very welcomed.

Actually blurring as I found out is fine. Also SSAA blurs just as bad.

You simply need to add a negative LOD bias and that clears any blurring up from what I've seen.

The problem is Nvidia first and foremost doesn't have a graphics card that can handle TXAA + LoD, and secondly their drivers still do not support LoD bias in DX10+.



Also TSW does not have compatibility bits for forcing AA modes.
