Why doesn't NVidia FXAA work on Call of Duty 4?

[futurefields]

Back when I had an AMD card I would use RadeonPro to inject FXAA onto COD4, it made the game look better to my eye as the existing MSAA doesn't cover foilage and stuff. And it just gives the game a "thicker" look that I find pleasing.

However, the FXAA option in NVidia control panel or Inspector doesn't seem to have any effect on COD4 can anybody say why that is?

Mention your hardware, OS, drivers in use. COD4 (original Modern Warfare, or COD Advanced Warfare)... Please be more specific, for people to help you with the situation.

NVidia has an FXAA injector built into the driver, you can enable it in Control Panel or Inspector. It just doesn't seem to work with Call of Duty 4.


Rig is i5 2500k, GTX 970, Windows 7 x64, Steam version of COD4

I don't know what the issue is, but you're better off using sweetfx or reshade because you can configure FXAA to your liking.

The issue is the FXAA injector in NVidia Control Panel doesn't work in Call of Duty 4. It works in my other games such as Assassin's Creed 2, Dirt 3 etc...

Have you submitted a driver/bug report to Nvidia about it?

Then it's not supported use 3rd party injector.

Yeah, I meant I don't know what's causing the problem or how to fix it.

I cant answer why it wouldnt work in the nVidia driver, but I can tell you that SweetFX's SMAA injector looks better than FXAA and works well. It doesn't smear everything like most FXAA does. Plus you can use LumaSharpen in the SweetFX + ReShade tool to cancel out the smearing from any post-AA technique. I use TXAA+Lumasharpen in Fallout 4 which works really well

If you set fxaa_Subpix to 0, texture blur is almost eliminated.
