Set your AA settings in your video card settings. That way, it will render it with whatever AA setting you have it on no matter what.

Good Demo. Fun to play. I'm upload two videos both of them are the same just one is HQ and one is LQ. Once I finish yousending them i'll try to edit this post and give y'all the links. (They're only 3min video but I thought i'd do it anyways.) Just to let y'all know there is no sound because FRAPS didn't want to record it but the graphics (On the HQ Video) are superb. Full detail with AA on the highest level which i'm going to assume is 4.
For some reason during the encoding the video lost alot of lighting, hopefully its not too dark. However if it is i'll either make another one and just encode it again with some tweaking.
LQ (Not recommended)

When my copy finishes downloading I'll take some screenshots and video of it on AAx16 and AFx16).

What chipsets did they give you guys? I'm curious to see what this would look like on a 8800.

It's a GeForce 7900GT. I played at 1280x11024 with basically no lag and no problems at all. Well, I THINK I might have seen a bit of lag when there were a lot of things flying about... I'm so glad to see that all the minor little graphics issues that existed in the alpha are not there anymore. I beat the Easy AI in a 40-minute skirmish. I have a lot to learn because I totally suck at RTS games.

Meh, apparently it's only for the first day, not the first week. I guess they knew they couldn't keep it in much longer than that.
To be honest, I'm sure EA just wants to know with pretty good accuracy just how many people downloaded it on the first day.

Just out of curiosity then, what are your full systems specifications? I have a 7800GS chipset so I'm curious to see what is in store for me.

Wrong. If your video card supports it, but doesn't have it in the driver settings, you can force-enable it with RivaTuner. And you don't need Quad SLI for AAx16, that's ridiculous.

The same can be done for OpenGL settings.

Renx wrote on Mon, 26 February 2007 23:32 | You can't force it because the card pysically does not support it, nor could it handle it anyway. The 8800GTX can barely handle 8xAA on newer games with 768mb of RAM, you're crazy if you think a 256mb or 512mb card could handle 16x.
Also, 8xS is not really 8x AA. Excluding the 8-series, any single gpu nvidia card out there today can only handle 4x AA, and 6xAA for ATI cards I believe.
|
The two 8800 series chipsets in SLI mode can easily handle 16xAA and 16xAF.
Quote: | » New NVIDIA driver brings 16xAA
Just before the GeForce 7800 GTX launched last month, NVIDIA informed the press that a future driver release would bring new AA modes (including a 16x setting) for SLI users. Well, today that driver has sort of arrived, as NVIDIA has posted their beta ForceWare 77.76 driver to their nZone website.
Two new AA modes are now available for SLI users only, an 8x mode and a 16x mode. With the 8x setting, both cards utilize 4x multisampling, with each card using different rotated-grid sampling patterns which are blended together before being output to your screen. Under the new 16x setting, each card runs NVIDIA's 8xS mode with different sampling patterns. If you recall, 8xS combines NVIDIA's traditional 4xMSAA with 2x supersampling for sharper visuals.
End users must use the Coolbits registry hack to enable the new AA modes (change the value to . Once that's done, change the SLI rendering mode field to SLI antialiasing to enable the new modes.
|
I may have been wrong about it having an effect on a single chipset on 16xAA settings, but you can still force AAx8S, and I CAN physically see the difference in games both in image quality and it drastically drops the rendering and processing power. But it does not effect the performance enough to not use it in certain scenarios.
