Nvidia tweaks to SH3/SH4

I create a Silent Hunter IV profile and use these settings:

Works good for me, excellent frames.

Hi capt_frank,

I read your post...I really don't know if the 7900 card will also have any improvement when using the sttings that I write above. Anyhow the setting that really makes huge difference on image quality is this one:

- Compatibility page:
choose AA Compatibility 20000000: EA Strategy Games (this is what makes a huge difference in image quality, forcing the AA to be applyed to the entire scene. This is probably also the best solution for Flight sims)

Try it and let we know if this also works on your cards.

I don't have that compatability setting available, maybe it's not part of the selections due to the cards I use. So, I chose "general compatability" instead. I'll advise if my socks get blown off...

Thanks!

Thanks for the info mate.
So, seems that not all cards have this option. For the 8xxx series this is the most important setting to acquire good image quality without others side effects or FPS hit.
Probably, old nvidia cards don't need it, as it is not available. :hmm:

I bought the 7000 series card because it was cheap, it fit into a PCIe slot, and it has SLI capability. My plan is to buy a second one and hook them both up.

Thanks for the advice, last night applied this changes and may be the quality of the graphics didn't improve so much largely because they already were quite good in my 8800GTX; but one thing has definitely improved, now my crew members have eyes and they are not ghosts any more, before I could see through them, scary!

Thanks for the reply.
The more important workaround of this NhancerxNvidiaxSilentHunter issue is that now we have that old Sun halo and smoke problems correctly sorted and well know (max 4x MSAA) and we find a way to apply the AA to the entire scene using that 20000000:EA Strategy Games compatibility setting. This is what you can expect from the above.
