Graphics excellent except for night sky

I've never messed around with Anti-Aliasing and Anistropic Filtering so I'm not sure what the settings are. I'm not sure I understand exactly what either does to be honest.

I'm currently running a HD 5870 in my computer, as a matter of fact our computer specs are not too dissimiliar. I have both my AA and Af set to max and you be surprised the difference it can make.

My sky looks great. I use the settings discussed in the nvidia sticky. Also helps to keep gamma down some.

I had to deal with the same problem with my Nvidia 7600. One thing I can tell you; Don't mess with the in-game gamma adjustment. For me this graphic option was turning my sky in a glass mosaic.

I play now with the in-game post-process filter off and AA/AF set to 4X and the issue is solved.

thanks, gents. I'll try adjusting the AA etc.

Yea, too much gamma and poor settings my sky looked like bubble wrap at night, more fog, but the settings corrected it. Still, I keep gamma down to default and less, just like a dark sky.
