Now, I have overclocked my card and that, and I wanted to try out AA (I tried it on my old GF4 and it didnt do much for performance (had a quite bad hit on BF1942) I recently got a 9800 Pro and am using the Omegas (4.4 equivilent), in Direct 3D (ATi Control Panel) I can set AA and AF but this aint very useful because Far Cry runs like a snail with AA but UT2003 is fine on 6x, any decent tools out there to set AA for each game?
Cheers
A profile manager tied to the games executable would be nice, this would need to be put into the drivers for maximum effect.
In fact this thing could take off, just think for a radeon 9600 card (for example) with 2Ghz+ CPU's the drivers could automatically optimise the resoultion and AA settings for the best trade of between quality and speed.
The drivers could auto adjust for clock speed/gpu, possibly by a central downloadable file on Ati's/Nvidia's site, that is frequently updated of course.
This feature could be turned on in the drivers (off by default), with an option on installation to turn on or off.
I play Desert Combat (BF1942 Mod) with full AA, looks great then I might play Farcry after and have to turn off AA etc to get a decent frame rate. This would be excellent

Radlinker is what you need
What it does is allow you to create shortcuts to games but with the extra benefit of being able to set overclocking, Anti Aliasing & Anistrophic Filtering levels, vsync on or off and other settings customised for each game
Radlinker V1.08

Nice one ty
Cheers Ravens Nest, I just found that as I read youre post, I got UT2003 on full AA (it says full is 6x, i thought you could get 16x or something) and on 4x quality AF
Any good with the choppers Rabs?

Yeah I aint bad, I taught myself to fly them, im best in an apache or hind, not so good in an AH6 'littlebird'
I'm usually on landos ac uk server if you want a server with lots of regulars
No you can get 16x AF (Anisotropic filtering) and 6x AA (Anti Aliasing.)Originally Posted by r1zeek

No problem r1zeek
Have you tried the temporal AA settings on radlinker?
(They work with Direct X games only though)
What Temporal AA do's is to create the illusion of your videocard running at a higher Antialiasing level than it actually is running at.
So 2xT2 temporal AA will look like 4xAA but with the performance hit of 2xAA
4xT2 temporal AA looks like 6xAA but with 4xAA hit in performance e.t.c.
Try it with UT2003 with 6xT2 versus the 6xAA you use with it, you should get a nice increase in speed and AA image quality.
How do you set the Temporal AA in RadLinker, coz i've got the version built into the Omega drivers
afaik temporal AA - being a new feature, is only currently available by editing the registry, which isnt hard, but i cba...
Any links to the reg edits, or post on here, i thought I saw one a while back...
It's available with the latest radlinker.
Here's the link
http://www28.brinkster.com/chrisww1942/
Download the latest version from the link above, then install.
It will come up with repair or remove
Press remove and it will remove the older version that comes with the omega drivers then re-install radlinker again and it will install the latest version for you.
Then once it is installed pick a game you want to try it with and find the .exe file that the game uses to run itself press RMB on it and select 'Create radlink' from the list
Press the RMB on the radlink that has been created select properties from the list and then select DirectX or OpenGL depending on what the game uses to run.
Mess with the 'Full screen anti-aliasing' settings
2xT2 is equivelent to 4xAA
4xT2 is equivelent to 6xAA
6xT2 is equivelent to 12xAA! i think
Not sure what 2xT3 4xT3 & 6xT3 do though..
