ATI Cat 4.6 finally fixed AF in BF:V

[YeOldeStonecat]

I tried them this morning, manually set preferences to as to have AA and AF cranked up, instead of "Application Preference".

Those little dots in the textures are no more. The usual spots that I'd see them right away in previous drivers when using manual settings, no more! :thumb:

It's also listed in the bug fixes on these drivers.

So did you see a marked improvments / Performance Ratio ??

I've never had any problems when running 1280 X 1024 with App preference ... Just wondering if the improvment is worth the update ...

[Ghosthunter]

ok what about CTD? I never cared AA or AF anyway..to me those features never did anything for me in most games.

[Cypher]

I'm seeing a significant performance increase with this release myself.
I was able to run BFV on 4AA and 8AF forced with the last Omega release. Still these are doing a much better job in that and other games such as Farcry and DC.
:cool:

"Felt" the same to me...but I was running fine before. The ONLY glitch I had in all prior drivers (meaning ATI and Omega...all versions since BF:V came out) was the polka dot problem on certain metal surfaced if I tried running manually set AA/AF.

I didn't compare FPS yet in the 4.6 against what I ran before, as I'm running with manually set AA/AF, and before I only ran App Pref. I'll run App Pref tonight and compare FPS's...but honestly I forget what I was averaging before...bouncing around in the 70's and 80's, sometimes bumping 100 or so.

So if I finally install my 9600XT I should be good to go?

Currently I'm still running the GeForce4 Ti4200.

Running a ATI 9600XT stock speeds..

1280x960x32

4X AA / 2X AF

Crisp and smooth with new drivers.... :nod:

[Needlefreak]

OH....And THANKS CAT !! :thumb:

[Mytflyguy]

Sweeeet !!! ... Looks like I will have some more work to do tonight ...


Cypher ....


Will; I love my ATI Tool program if I uninstqall my Omega's ??

I can always re-install the standalone ... Just curious ...

Awesome.


Where the hell have you been? :D

Glad they nailed the prob WTG ATI and EA

[Crazycanuck]

I did a direct map to map and server to server comparison. Fps with the 4.6 was identical to the fps I was getting with my DNA drivers.

I turned on AA 4x and AF2x and my FPS dropped 40-50% with the 4.6 . Never tried it with the DNA driver so I have no comparison here.

I see that AA gets rid of the jaggies but what does AF do, other than make the chat text fat looking? What would be the suggested settings?



Why is there Braille on drive-through ATM machines?

[Needlefreak]

Awesome.

Didnt play DC for months and I just got BFV from a friend who didnt want it two days ago...For awhile I was spending 8+ hours a day on the comp and I made up my mind to cut that **** off and get in shape...I popped in the server today for a bit but prolly wont be in there much ...

[Ghosthunter]

ok i upgraded to ati 4.6 drivers and bfv 1.02 gonna try it tonight lets hope I dont CTD

AF (anisotropic filtering) is how the card handles the textures and details of 3D objects as they fade into distance.

[Crazycanuck]

I tried it early on the bridge on Irving and saw the difference. Real nice but the 40% FPS hit just ain't worth it.

Why are hemorrhoids called "hemorrhoids" instead of "asteroids"?

[Ghosthunter]

it hopeless...withitn 5 minutes..I crashed..well this time I did not get CTD, just says i got disconnected from server brought me back to the main screen of BFV where you choose a server so I tired to go back in when i did that this time I got an error has occurec in bfvietnam.exe or something like that..

[Mytflyguy]

Tried a Clean OS install yet ??

nope and not going to already uninstall BFV

never going to bother to install it ever again

i would sell it, if it was worth getting cash back

[Crazycanuck]

Thats really weird, BFV should be running flawlessly with your system. Did you install the 16MB 1.02 driver? enabled PB? defrag after install (textures and sound install very fragmented)? and I know u said you quit, but in case you change your mind make sure to delete the game folder and clean registry before re-installing.
Wierd :confused:



Whose cruel idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have a "S" in it?

[Bouncer]

Hmm.. somebody help me then.. I've got a Radeon 9700Pro, 3Ghz CPU and 512MB of RAM.. and play is choppy as heck!
What am I missing here?

RAM.
Seriously....go to a gig. I noticed a HUGE difference (performance increase/smoothness) when I upgraded my RAM back in the '42/DC days. And BF:V is even more system intensive then those. I went from 512, to 768, to 1.0 gigs, and now I'm at 1.2 gigs. (those last .2 gigs were freebies, just tossed them in for the heck of it)

And what's your hard drive? 8 meg cache 7,200rpm at the minimum helps. WD Raptor helps even more!
