I have more of an issue with the horrible aliasing. It makes me die inside. I can even handle the 30fps just fine, but the aliasing... must be strong...

Use RadeonPro and create an AA profile for Deus EX Human Revolution, filename dxhr.exe, then apply it to Hot Pursuit and you can force AA.

You don't have to jump through hoops anymore, you can just force AA to the hp exe now.

Depending on what Catalyst drivers you're using, I thought even forced AA was only visible on the cars or something and that's if you drop back to 10.10e.

I'll give the DE:HR profile thing a shot, though. Shame that due to the age, RP doesn't have any new game profile presets (for either AA or CFX) to select from :(

No presets, but you can make your own since AMD comstantly adds them and doesn't note it in their fucking release notes. Chances are though, if they release a CFX profile, there's also an AA one. I went through one day and checked the release notes of a lot of games in recent months and tried profiles for various exe's. The Darkness II and DXHR were two that worked when applied to some games. Sonic Generations is one, though it lowers your framerate. Binary Domain's another, but it's a slideshow with AA applied.

Darksiders is one that works for some other games, like Dead Space.

You know what, I may have been using the 10.10e compatibility that Sci helped me set up a long ass time ago. I'll try the de:hr fix later on.

There's a free camera mode:

Camera Edit Mode (Build 159+)

To enter the mode you press Ctrl-K.
Then the following keys become active:

Numpad 2: increase pitch
Numpad 8: decrease pitch
Numpad 4: increase yaw
Numpad 6: decrease yaw
Numpad 7: increase radius
Numpad 9: decrease radius
Numpad 1: increase roll
Numpad 3: decrease roll
Numpad -: increase FOV
Numpad +: decrease FOV
D: forward
A: backward
W: up
S: down
Q: left
E: right
SHIFT key in combination with any of the above: slow down camera movement
Numpad 5: reset to original settings for current camera

Custom DOF mode:

F3: on/off
F4: reset

Focus plane distance:
F5: decrease
F6: increase

Sharp field depth:
F7: decrease
F8: increase

Transit to blur depth:
Shift + F7: decrease
Shift + F8: increase

Blur:
Shift + F5: decrease
Shift + F6: increase
 
I'm just going to go ahead an ask it... is Project Cars a better looking than The Witcher 2?

Imo the only thing Witcher has going for it is character texturing.

pCARS seems to have better tech behind it and runs smoother (I can actually keep 60fps with AA on).

But like Blizzard said, different games.

Yeah, after reading yours and Nabs' posts (and above is clarification) it's just finally clicked what the AA profile thing in RP means... that there are individual AA profiles just like there are CFX ones. Got something new to play with now, especially considering I was having so many goddamn problems with Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (enabling AA caused some funky shit to happen, not even in terms of AA) it gives me something new to tinker with :)

Holy shit, those Project Cars shots..

is that game out?!
Nope, it's still under development. The physics are presumably one of the primary things they are still improving, but the graphics presumably improve along the way as well. It should be amazing to see some of the shots once the dynamic cloud system gets added, and/or weather.

For Sonic you want to create a profile for Darksiders (darksidersPC.exe). Try that with 2xSSAA (or more depending on strength).

Shit, ArmA III and Project Cars are going to destroy consoles next year. I hope I'll have a stable rig for them.

Beta (or alpha?) is out, yes. You have to "donate" to get access, but most people have just donated what the full game will cost and that'll get them the game on release plus all these pre-release versions. So worth it, IMO... and online MP hasn't even been implemented yet!

Edit: Thanks again, Nabs!

What are the recommended specs for the game? Not the minimum, but the current ones to get the most out of it.

What do you have? I don't know if there's anything to really get the most out of it, just the best you can afford pretty much! I'm using a 2500K@4.9GHz w/ a 5850 and 5970 in trifire and I can't quite get full everything out of it. But I think that's an ATI thing that they're ironing out gradually. AFAIK most mid-top end nVidia cards get the job done.

Wow, these look pretty amazing... are you running a custom widescreen config here? My version just stretches everything to hell in 1080p, can't figure out what's wrong with it!

Nope. Running 16:9 1920x1080. It's stretched for me too.

Played ACII on 360 a long time ago..so long ago that I don't remember where I was. Think I was a good ways in, but stopped playing. PC version looks gud..want to get through the series before ACIII hits.

I think we're way past the point where IQ>>>>>everything else when determining what makes visuals appealing.

That, and aesthetics, obviously.

Yep. Haven't tried to pull any tricks or force AA through RadeonPro, so that there is vanilla max settings @ 1920x1080. Looks better in motion though, and is a pretty vibrant looking game for a shooter with some nifty lighting and filter effects.
:S thats maxed? That looks horrible. The trailers looked so amazing.

Time to share your settings buddy. These two screenshots put everything I've seen in this thread to shame. Breathtakingly beautiful.

The config file from the demo had 4xAA on by default. I turned it off to better performance. Still ran like ass for a UE3 game.
