Wow i used that bloom function for the first time, very nice effect...
didn´t know it has several levels of bluriness you can switch between... 
I want this feature now!  Just look into the sun and turn it on!
Unfortunately i want AA too, so a solution would be great.
Anyone did a test with anisotropic filtering disabled (and AA on)? Any difference? |
By "fire up bloom" do you mean by using the key combo (shift+pgup or whatever) that you use with the nVidia cards? If so, why would you ever do that with an ATI card? I just replaced my nVidia 6800 with an X800XL, and with AA (and AF) on I get a big glare/bloom effect from the sun without using the key combo. It's almost too big a bloom/glare effect as it is - no way I'd want to make it even bigger using the key combo.
Do you really get no glare/bloom effect with your ATI card without using the key combo that turns off the AA? |
That is what I meant by getting an ATI card. I don't even have to bother with bloom, even with my X800 XL, because the image quality with 4X AA and 16X AF is so good. My brother's GF 6800 GT can't match the X800 for image quality nor fps when running SH3 in that mode. With my X850 PT, it's just gorgeous... especially with the visual mods out there.
Edit: Forgot to mention; that bloom effect is a type of software AA, so it'll mess up hardware AA if they ran together. That is probably the main reason the game forces the hardware AA off when the bloom is turned on.
