What are the best AA settings that i can get in Crysis 2 with Radeon 6870 card?

 

[scitek]

The more I play the game and the more I tinker with it to get it to look the way I want the more I genuinely think it's the technically best looking game.

I think so too.

 

[Sinatar]

This game is fucking *incredible*. GOTY so far by a loooong shot.

Been meaning to play through Crysis 2 again, but I'm trying to hold out til Maldo finishes the new version of his mod.

Maybe, but then Starbound will come out.

Yeah, I just saw him post on Guru3D last night. His site was dead for like 6 months and now he's back at it again. Dude's a beast.

Is there an ETA on that? I was rather upset recently when I visited his website to mess around with the mod only to find the links dead.

Any tweak/mod suggestions. I of course have Maldo's textures, but aside from that, I'm running vanilla, never really gone down the tweaking hole with Crysis 2, mainly because I haven't felt it needed a ton of tweaking.

I actually stick to the "less is more mentality" and keep to only maldo HD and quality mod 1.7.

Maldo's configurator does a good job of letting you tweak settings. And just last night I started using C Mod, which ups boost speed to be the same as the first game, mutes the suit voice when going in and out of armor and cloak modes, and moves the gun position down to match that of the first game so it doesn't take up the whole screen, among other things.

Trying out Quality Mod 1.8, I had had it installed once before, but hadn't liked it for whatever reason, reinstalled it, and it is quite nice. The DoF is really, really nice:

No idea =/, hoping for "soon" though. As scitek said, he was gone for quite a while but has started posting updates again, within the last month or so, so it seems like he's back on track.

That's gotta be the worst use of depth of field I've ever seen. What did Nanosuit guy leave his glasses at home or something?

lol, the mod's cool for showing off how nice the DOF looks, but it didn't make any sense to me during gameplay when I tried it. It changes dynamically and is constantly causing the background to go in and out of focus.

It is far from the worst DoF out there, but yeah, it's not so great. It looks really nice in still photos, I find, but it is really wonky in gameplay. As scitek said, it comes on rather randomly and doesn't always look so hot. It can be toggled though and everything else in the quality mod 1.8 is pretty great.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Dem Grimrock stone textures...mmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[DarkChild]

That DOF may not be suitable during gameplays, but its the only real time bokeh DOF I know of. Another one is Samaritan which makes every PC in world cough blood...

 

[Watevaman]

Grimrock looks sooooo good.

And thanks, now I have to play through Crysis 2 again.

 

[wonderland]

oh crysis 2 , you are so sexy

 

[scitek]

Haven't played the tutorials in a while.

This fucking game man!

If someone showed me the first pic 1-2 years ago I would genuinely have thought it was from a target render or something...

Ditching Ice's 2.0N version, going back to one of his older.

( And speaking of Bokeh )

 

[Stallion Free]

I love the color-grading in that second shot.

Crysis 2 is #1 temptation to break EA boycott.

Very nice screens. It's stuff like this that always tempts me into building a new rig...

Decided to jump around BF3's campaign today, it's been a while and I wanted to see how good it looks. I like these two areas a lot.

My only complaint is the anti aliasing is not so great. Are there any ways to force some AA? Nvidia Inspector doesn't do it.

 

[derFeef]

You guys know this game in and out I bet, but I am playing it for the first time for real. Resident Evil 5 is stunning for a 2 year old game.

What kind of game is Grimrock?

 

[s7evn]

I think it's a dungeon crawler.

Classically styled first person RPG/Dungeon Crawler in the vein of games like Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder and Lands of Lore.

 

[RoboPlato]

Jesus at the Crysis 2 shots. I'm always tempted to get a new PC just for those games since I love them so much but have only played them on PS3. I really hope that Crysis 3 uses the same FoV/gun position as 1. That mod looks super nice in 2.

 

[therealminime]

I can't help myself.

Got me to play some of this tonight. Its problem was never with its graphics.

 

[NBtoaster]

Yeah I like the way Rage looks as well. The lack of dynamic shadowing does give it an odd appearance in parts but the artists did their jobs well and largely overcame that (in a similar fashion to Mirror's Edge). And it helps it to run very smoothly.

Was looking at Carmack's twitter and I guess this is part of why it looks good too: it doesn't use LOD.

Is this unlimited ammo, scitek?

 

[EatChildren]

I think I've asked this before, but what FOV and AA solution for Crysis 2 are you using Corky (and co)?

 

[scitek]

Yes, unlockable after you beat the game.

Crysis 2 is looking amazing as always. I've been planning to replay it with mods, but Maldo is at it again, so i better wait for his new release.

I'm using a 70 fov setting for both fov settings ( the near one and the "other" one, forgot the name ). As for AA I'm using the FXAA high setting from Maldo HD's config in conjunction with ingame/realtime downsampling from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080.
