Yeah, hold on.

Yep, the micro-stutters are still there.

I'll try again after I defrag.

Damn it. How come noone here has said anything about this? Could it be a dual core issue? (Noooooo)

I do it to stress the performance of my hardware with games. ;)

:yep:

Filter Off gets you a smoother picture is what I tried to say here for a week or more, now. With the HDR off, the FSAA-setting kicks in, when running the game on a pre-8800-card. With the 8800 the FSAA is reduced, when rendering post-effects, so it's the very same effect, but the reduced FSAA will make it look at least a bit smoother.

It would be nice, if you could post the pictures either in the initial size or take a screenshot with the resolution it is later posted here. I also suggest you try FRAPS to take the screenshot, as the built-in-screenshots were looking odd in SH3, too.

You should also try to set image-quality to high. As an IL2-Veteran using a 7800GT, let me give you the hint, that this setting changes a lot in terms of image quality.
:yep:

@Ark: Did you disable HDD-Optimization? Download the tool (powertoys) TweakUI, which gives you access to hidden Windows-options and run it. It's a rather harmless tool, so no worries. Now go to "general" and scroll down the list. Near the bottom line, there is the option "Optimize Hard Disk when Idle" - uncheck it, exit and reboot. This will stop windows from defragging in the background, when there is little HDD-access by the rest of the system.

To my view, this is a better setting. Looks much more natural.

Hoops, sorry ! It is SH3.

ACS

Yes it does, and its a shame.

FSAA does NOT work in-game no matter what you do with the options.

It may look like it from a few screenshots, but FSAA sure as heck is not working. ;)

I use an external program for screenshots (FSscreen). My HDD isn't chugging when the stutters occur. The stutters just happen.

Ew, you use IE? Yuck. Firefox baby.:smug:

Why does the post processing cause there to be noticeable aliasing?

Looks horrid with the filter on. Yellow water and like looking through a blur filter

Yes, i like a lot more the screens with filter off .

i don´t worry if it looks like sh3 :yep:

with the filter looks very greenish.. is a strange sensation .. i don´t like graphics

perhaps too blurry ?? :roll:

Very blurry. I thought something had happened to my eyes. Im sure something would happen to my eyes if I looked at it too long.

I like the filter, but either AA isn't working with it on, or you can't actually change the resolution. I run at 1280x1024, and I get HUGE pixels, resulting in major jaggies on all straight edges. Have to compare with the filter and without it though...
