[Help & Support] The Anti-Aliasers - Anti-jaggies thread [Enough resoved]

Hi all!
I made a search around the forum, tried different solutions... but personally I still can't get free from jaggies.

First of all a premise: I'm not such a technical expert (otherwise I wouldn't need an help, I suppose).
So be ready to read eventual errors or technical nonsenses! (I hope not... anyway.)

My hardware is in the signature, but I report it in case it would change from the date I write this post.
Configuration: <CPU> AMD Vishera-FX 8320 8X; <Cooler> Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme Rev.2; <MB> ASUS M5A99X EVO R2; <RAM> 4x Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600MHz (16GB ToT); <GPU> nVidia GTX770 (Asus); <Monitor> Samsung T22A350 22" Full HD HDMI; <OS> Windows 7 Professional; <HD> SSD Samsung 128GB + 2x 1Tb Secondary HDs mirrored; <Wheel> Logitech G27.

Now, let's talk about jaggies: they just don't wanna go away!

Initially I used an ingame setting which included: 16x FA, 8x AA & FXAA Off (Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing, right?).
That's because the word "Approximate" didn't had such great impression to me...
(If you need to know any other setting, just ask.)

This is a screen made with such settings (click it, to see HD) and you can clearly see jaggies on the edge of front wing:


Then I suspected that FXAA is additional to base AA, so I tried 16x FA, 8x AA & 6x FXAA (max).
But jaggies were still there (Click to see HD):


So I followed suggestions which want the solution to be in nVidia driver settings, and I activated and raised random stuffs... including forcing AA to 32x CSAA and 8x Transparency AA.
If you click to see HD, you can still see jaggies on the edge of front wing and on his top black line:


With this last try, I noticed jaggies effect looks lower with direct light on front wing...
At the end I'm suspecting that to make screenshots jaggie-free you must choose the right camera angle, vehicle position, light angle (or darkness)... and maybe some photoshop retouch, if you want...

In here I just tried a different camera angle to prevent jaggies, but still no settings change...


I wish somebody could confirm, negate or suggest a real working setting... and please: be very specific, maybe "dummies level", so we'll be sure to understand the jaggie-graal solution.

Thank you for your time!

 

Download Nvidia Inspector, then create a profile for AC (acs.exe) and set AA Transparency Supersampling to 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling and see how it looks.

edit... you may need to lower your ingame anti aliasing a bit

 

Wait... for "Nvidia Inspector" do you mean this?



'cause I download 1.9.7.2 and looks like much more something like this:



And I see nowhere to create a profile for games!
Maybe this application also suffered about the new fashion to make programs easier to understand even if more limited?
Or am I blind?
Or it's two different programs?

If I known how does "Sparse Grid Supersampling" sound in Italian, I would try to activate from nVidia control Pannel... but sometimes it's a problem to have it localized in your language. :\

Anyway I already tried with Transparency Antialiasing 8x... it's something similar?

 

Assetto Corsa already has a profile there is no need to create one. Just type in Assetto Corsa in the Profile name and it should come up.

Click on the spanner and screwdriver icon in your second picture to bring up the profiles.

 

'Griglia grossa Supersampling'

 

Ok, found and tested... but it actually affects my performances.
(Click on each image to see it full HD)

2x Sparse Grid Supersampling: less than 60fps:


4x Sparse Grid Supersampling: less than 50fps:


8x Sparse Grid Supersampling: less than 40fps:


At the end I decided to keep my jaggies while playing, by setting nothing particular for Transparency Antialiasing.
They are actually very few with my base settings, and can't be noticed while playing.

If I smell I have a great screen to be done, I'll save the replay, activate Sparse Grid Supersampling and then run to recover the topic moment on the replay!


So the solution (at least for your screens) seems to be: download nVidia Inspector and run it.


Than click the very small spanner and screwdriver icon close to "Driver Version" field (you don't need to expand the window with "Show Overclocking" button).


There's already a profile for Assetto Corsa, so type it on the Profiles field to filter and find it easier.
After you clicked Assetto Corsa profile, to the "Antialiasing - Transparency SuperSampling" field and set one of the Supersampling I wrote over images.

 

Anyway, I think Kunos should add the "Transparency Antialiasing" option inside Assetto Corsa settings, directly.
It would be comfortable.

EDIT: anyway, I almost forgot: thank to both of you! Very kind! ^_^

 

Hey boys!
This is pretty interesting!
Read and valuate yourself!

Nice find. So that explains why negative lod made no difference when even used with sgssaa.
Edit
I'll ask the nvidia reps at guru 3d to look into this too.

 

This is also relevant too:

Anyway, I wonder if ATI users have any kind of similar problem with Assetto Corsa...
