SSAA in cats 5.11??

Dragunov · Nov 10, 2005, 08:25 PM

I see them on the pics, but tried to change those registery settings, but it seems they are not enabled, in cats 5.9 those trick worked, strange

Can somebody help me with this in 5.11?

I don't know what to tell you - the feature is definitely greyed out in ATI's own CCC. Why would they have the option but grey it out in these drivers? Looks like a no-go to me.

well now we are three and probably growing in numbers who see Adaptive AA greyed out adn like you i dunno how to enable it
can Zardon Terry or anyone else tell us how come we can´t enable it ???

Its up to the ATI Gods, only they know the secrets to this mystery.

What registry entries are you trying to modify?

petri1 · Nov 11, 2005, 05:20 AM

me? none i just wanna know why the adaptive AA is greyed out ie. not available i mean why put it there if not usable or is it so that it is only for X1K series???

in that case i understand whjy i can´t use it but wish it was for all ATI cards can´t afford a new one

Dragunov · Nov 11, 2005, 05:33 AM

those ones for cats 5.9, those trick, cause didn't see those AA at all when I searched in my CCC

It works for me??? I've got the Adaptive AA option. All I did was edit the ASTT_NA registry entry to 0 anywhere it occurs in the registry and I get that option.

So how you get it enable due share.... never mind i got it

IMO: A X1K is liklely "Required"

Neon, why can't people see this. Even if you could enable this feature, your core couldn't possibly process the instructions correctly if at all! The transistor count in the core of the x1k series is almost double that of the x8/x9 series.

am i wrong here?

Are you guys talking about adaptive SSAA that is just on the certain transparent textures that it will benefit or full on SSAA??

I go AAA to work fine with the reg hack on the 5.9 w/ CCC, but haven't tried it since.. And yeah te X800 series has plenty of power to use it.

Also with DXTweaker full SSAA is possible at resolutions od 1024 x 768 and below no problem..

Yes.

Using DXTweak I got SSAA to work.

There are no instructions with SSAA that a 9700 or even an 8500 couldn't do...its a type of anti aliasing, not a type of HDR or some special texture type

And transistor count has nothing to do with it except how fast it executes.

hmmm, very interesting. thx for the info.

If you read the X1800 preview Driverheaven did, I asked Terry Makedon specifically about this. He said that, they are currently testing the feature with the previous generation cards (X800 and down), and when they are sure it works 100% properly, they'll enable it for those as well

petri1 · Nov 15, 2005, 09:58 AM

well if the case is so then why can´t i enable it i mean it is there but all grey adn no way to get it to work is it for show or is it something they will enable in 5.12 for X800 X9xxx X1K cards???

coz right now it is just there and no more so i don´t get it actually heh

Kombatant · Nov 15, 2005, 10:08 AM

I told you; it's hasn't passed Q&A yet for older cards. So it's there in the drivers, and when all bugs are ironed out, they will flip a switch, so does speak, and it will be enabled.
