mrspongeworthy Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Following instructions found somewhere here, I at one point turned off my anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering in Skyrim and used the CCC application to set those manually. This gave me better performance and better graphics. However, possibly with the 1.2 release (I'm not sure), these CCC settings stopped working. I'm on Win7 64bit using CCC 11.11c (also tried it with b). I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled CCC with no luck. Has anyone else had this problem? How have you fixed it? For now I've gone back to using the in-game settings, but it's killing my performance and reducing the quality of the graphics simultaneously to do so. It does this regardless of whether I launch the game normally or use the 4gb Loader. Edit: It should be noted that these settings still work properly for other games - it appears to be ONLY Skyrim for which these settings now do nothing whatsoever.

kieranh7 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Apparently, The last Skyrim patch has prevented people from forcing AA via the GPU control panel, I also have noticed this since the last patch. Only thing to do is use Skyrims' AA. I find 2x SSAA works best (visual:cost). Tested vs 8x MSAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, it's a sad statement about the entire software industry that I'm perfectly willing to believe that they purposely disabled this in the 1.2 patch. It was a feature that worked well and allowed people to run the game properly. Disabling it probably made perfect sense to some paper-pushing bean-counter somewhere at Bethesda.

mrspongeworthy Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Just a quick update. While I was redoing my settings to use the in-game aa and filtering functions, I did try one feature of the CCC settings which I don't usually use "Morphological" aa. This one feature does still function, but don't turn it on as it will cause sporadic extreme drops in performance and massive stuttering. Why they left the one setting that doesn't work properly with Skyrim functional and disabled all the settings which worked properly? Well, a smarter man than me will have to figure that one out. It's too bad, as the Morphological setting provides a sharper picture than Skyrim's FXAA function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoirish Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I have been having this issue as well. My Skyrim just recently started getting Small pixelated squares showing up everywhere, by turning off Skyrim's AA it got rid of the pixels but I havent been able to force AA through CCC which is really upsetting seeing as it looks pretty terrible without it, jaggies everywhere.
