Do you play with AA/AF?

[Ackmed]

Simple question.

 

[xtknight]

If I can maintain 60 FPS, yeah.

 

[josh6079]

A

Poll now working.

You have to push the button.:laugh:

Sorry, I really haven't tried TBH. Why are you wanting to know though? Of course people are going to want AA/AF with a higher resolution too, it will always look better than without.

 

[Ackmed]

Its my opinion that people would use AA/AF as well, just doing some fact checking for something else.

 

[BFG10K]

16xAF has been a mandatory standard for me since the 9700 Pro and it's never disabled.

I use AA only if I've maxed out my resolution and I still have power to burn.

Crap, I just made another one too!

 

[secretanchitman]

i will only disable AA/AF if i cant get "playable" framerates or if the game doesnt like it (corrupted textures, game doesnt work, etc).

 

[LittleNemoNES]

not even in oblivion @ 1600x1200 do I disable 4xAA, HDR, and 16xHQAF

The distinction for me is whether I want to use MSAA SSAA or none.

Voted.

Your poll doesn't work.

 

[josh6079]

Yeah, I know. (Mumbles to self: "Stupid Ackmed.") Just Kidding. So how do you kill your own thread?

 

[Ackmed]

Sorry, I finally muddles thru it and figured it out. Never made a poll here.

 

[Powermoloch]

yeah if I wanted to. But games sure look prettier when I turned AA/AF on

I haven't bothered AA/AF in oblivion...x850xt can't take it =/. The game still looks good w/ or without it

Couldn't agree with you more. And with the order of preference.. :thumbsup:
Except that sometimes I use 8xHQAF and mipmaps look better in some games. This is because 16xHQAF sampling squares the circle too much for my tastes in some games..

 

[SynthDude2001]

In a perfect world, of course I'd like to play with AA/AF all the time. But in the real world, I have a 6800GT that can't do fancy stuff like that anymore

 

[LOUISSSSS]

MAX AA/AF ON all the time with 150 fps stable @ 1280x1024 in CS:S, FEAR, COD2

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Why not?

Fixed, for me.

 

[ElFenix]

x1900xt and 1680x1050 monitor, so heck yeah

 

[dug777]

AF is mandatory. I can't see why anyone would put up with any games without 8xAF.

 

[dug777]

And the pole is utterly daft

 

[otispunkmeyer]

yep, ever since i bought a 6800GT ive played with at least 2xAA and 8XAF

currently its usually 4xTRSS AA and 16xAF with all the optimization that i can turn off turned off, and slider set to HQ

Yeap that's true. Turning AF on has a very small performance cost, so I can't grasp this either..

 

[McArra]

I use both unless performance is not good enough or OpenEXR HDR is enabled. For me AF is a MUST, but AA it isn't that important.
