quickshotxx Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7RqU_Isw28 A simple little trick using msaa + LOD switch to get a little more out of the graphics in swtor. Im 100% sure nvidia has a way to do this too so if someone with a nvidia card wants to post a how-to here or even make a video (il link it to mine) on how to do it that would be awesome. Considering this has almost no effect on framerate I cant see why anyone would not do this. For a 1fps loss there is really no reason not to change lod, better quality is better quality despite how u get it. Im also trying to mess with a fxaa injector (bf3's in particular) which might yield some interesting results. Until then, enjoy Radeonpro Link : http://www.radeonpro.info/en-US/ For the ATI guys/gals I recommend using catalyst 11.9 with the latest 11.9 cap. 11.10/11.11/11.12/and 12.1 beta gave me reduced performance. BF3 still runs awesome on 11.9 the only game u will lose out on is rage. atm for swtor I deff recommend 11.9 with 11.9 cap4 and radeon pro (for tweaking and crossfire stuff) *Nvidia - Originally posted by sanosukex (diff forum) nvidia its easy to do open nvidia inspector and go to your star wars the old republic profile Texture Filtering Negative LOD Bias- make sure this say allow right above that is an option that says Texture Filtering LOD bias(DX9)- here you can change from 3 to -3 just like in the video there's no mipmap slider for nvidia but you can change the texture filtering to high quality here as well.. Thank you for the feedback, both positive and negative. It helps me improve my videos and make better content overall so THX.

eadnams Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 This also allows you to turn down the anistropic filtering with little difference in picture, since its only using the highest resolution textures for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeia Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Does this make any difference to the neon yellow artifact that can fill the whole sky and landscape? I have a GTX560ti card and it's becoming game breaking. Edited January 15, 2012 by Jeia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putok Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Set it to 2.5 or NEGATIVE 2.5? You have it set to negative 2.5 in the video, but you suggest setting it to 2.5 in the voiceover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes u want negative values. that voice over was just my bad broski. negatives = sharper textures positives = washed out textures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phenyr Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Radeonpro Link : http://www.radeonpro.info/en-US/ As much as I really appreciate some of the player base of this game posts and efforts into helping other around I strongly think this is not our problem into try to solve the lack of performance this game has it. I hope they gonna put this on the queue task in order to improve overall performance of the game. Much appreciate the post though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
