Just a quick Q: wat are the max AF & FSAA settings that the 7800GT can support..?
i mean can it do 4X FSAA + 16X AF .. + HDR ..?
i vaguely remember somethig abt some Floating point limitation affecting this..

Thx for the reply ppl!
No AA+HDR in ANY of the games..?I thot that there was a patch for Farcry to enable BOTH HDR & AA on it..?

Me playing BIA:RTH30 again thse days, HDR gives it a more softer look while AA+AF looks so much sharper..
bah.. We cant hav everything now, can v?:no:
 
For true hdr you seem to need a floating point area of the gpu. Unfortunately, on gforce cards, this area is shared with aa processing. Still, low quality hdr (with Ints, i guess) can be done parallelly with aa. They resemble bloom filters though.

Hmmm ?? BiA has HDr. ??? Wasn't it Bloom ?? nVidia cards can do Bloom and AA together (my choice over plain HDr) ...

btw.. NV supports 8xS AA !!

Yup .. 8xS is the max nVidia cards do in single card setup .. and 16x in SLi setup ..

Also , the 7800GT does Gamma AA and Transparency AA , which greatly improves the antialiased samples , making the image sharper than the normal samples .. example .. 2x Transparency Supersampling AA = 4xS AA ( 2x SuperSampling + 2x Multisampling) ..

There are loads of AA modes u can try ... for better result try nHancer ..

Also .. nVidia cards can do FP16 HDr with AA (for example HL2 : Loast Coast , HL2 : Episode 1 etc. etc.) ... but nothing higher will be done at the same time (two cheers for ATi here) ... HDr can wait .. coz the jaggies look horrible , even at higher res.
 
^^fx10 not fp10 (10 bit int)

@deathvirus: source engine hdr is not fp16... its fx10. 8xSAA doesn't run fast enuf on even a 7900GTX to be usable :P. Its another nv "on paper" feature lol. On ATI however, 6xAA is completely usable on x1900xt/xtx cards.
 
Hey even NFSMW doesnt run all that bad with 8xS AA!!
Anyways..Need help on configuring HL2Ep1-it has some strange video options- i can configure 4X FSAA & 16X AF thro the ingame video menu + there's a option to set HDR to Bloom/Full.

Can u tell me which combo of AF+FSAA+HDR can the 78GT SUPPORT?
coz i hav no idea as to which game can use fx10 HDR+FSAA...

dx8 actually, unreal engine 2.0 was used for Bia: Rth 30 and EiB. Still the game uses bloom effect rather than hdr.
