Rennn Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I don't run any enb or fxaa injectors. I tried the SMAA plain d3d9 dll file and everything was bright and washed out. So I tried the SMAA dll it says to use if you have enb and it seemed to work. I turned game AA off, but to be honest I can't really tell the difference. I've left AA off for now, but was wondering can I put it back to x8 and run this Why??There's no reason to try to use SMAA and MSAA at the same time.

pygothian Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 There is if you can't tell the difference with no AA and SMAA. The reason there is no performance loss is it isn't doing anything.. Well not that I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanLoL Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Not sure if this is working right for me either. FXAA for me does a better job at smoothing out edges, but blurs the image. SMAA on the other hand seems to only smooth some edges for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried that? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodfellowGoodspring Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) I use this lighting mod clicky which make the colours more vibrant, i don't really have a need for any further tweaks or smoothing as i reckon it look great already and i play the game at 1152x864! :O Edited May 7, 2012 by GoodfellowGoodspring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it's all about. :thumbsup: I just posted this for people who are looking for that extra little something so that they know it's available. SMAA is relatively new so a lot of people haven't heard of it yet and I'm just trying to get the word out. Since everybody has different tastes and settings it's not for everyone just like anything else but a lot of people who have tried it are pleased with the results. Just trying to be helpful. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic747 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Can you get it to work with nVidia Optimus?Hmm, I don't have Optimus myself but I don't see why this wouldn't work with it. If for some reason it doesn't (and I think it will) then it is really easy to uninstall and your game will be back to normal with no side effects. It is definitely worth trying though. Everyone I know who is using this is very happy with the results. :smile:I wish it would work! This is an existing problem with Optimus cards. nVidia has ignored this issue. There's one version of ENB that works with Optimus. Do you have any advice for me trying to get it to work, knowing that there is an ENB version that works?

It's pitiful how Nvidia doesn't support Optimus the way they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliatron Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 SMAA does not even compare to the quality of MSAA, at least on my rig. MSAA doesn't seem to anti-alias high-contrast, fine lines... The flying jellyfish tendrils in Blackreach, for instance... The tips are are as jagged as if I have no AA active. It will apparently apply AA to more lower contrast lines, but doesn't seem to touch high-contrast lines -- The most visible kind. Unless I'm missing something, touting SMAA as highly as the OP did is simply lying. I'd like to find high-quality AA so I can use the new ENB versions, but I simply don't think it's out there.
