z70va and ffxi problems

so far the only problem (aside from not installing all the drivers yet..since the top row of buttons do not work.. the quick launch for mozilla works and so does the bluetooth/wireless, but not the trackpad or the power settings) i have, is with ffxi..no matter what settings i use in the latest omega drivers...it still does not apply AA/AF to it (no aa to max, no af or max..makes no difference). i see hundreds of screenshots looking all smooth, etc... but mine its blocky and jagged around the edges....same way on my desktop too...wierd. (ffxi hates me!)

also, if you have a x700, what drivers do you use? TYIA

pb,out.

 

Uhhhh, maybe set FSAA and AF on in the drivers AND in the game if there are settings in the game?

Also if you're on a lower resolution like 1024 it will not look smooth, you have to raise the resolution.

I'd always raise the resolution before applying AA.

Are you playing on the laptop's monitor? It's out of native res so its going to be like that. I would try 1280x800 or force it - www.widescreengamingforum.com.

 

there are no settings in the game for AA and AF. i have created a profile and applied everything to max. still doesnt work. it has 1680x1050 as native resolution, so i do not thing it should matter.. same for my desktop..no matter what settings i use, i get the same results...and for me it is a big deal..i hate seeing jagged edges unless my computer absoulutely cannot handle it!

thanks..

Umm. I don't know man. Not to insult your intelligence, but I'm thinking you're just not doing something correctly with the software. Don't use profiles and just manually set things and be sure that AA and AF are being forced in the driver set and see if that works.

I'm still puzzled as to why things look so bad. Set your mipmap quality and everything to High Quality just for the helluvit as well.

I dont' have that game, but I'm sure it's not supposed to look as bad as you described.

If you have NFS Most Wanted, try it there and see if it works. Things look a bit edgy when the resolution is low even with AA/AF, but when you turn up the res' everything just looks fabulous.

i thought the same..."what am i doing wrong?!!" but...BF2 works beautifully with AA/AF..so i cant understand why it is happening with FFXI. currently, cs runs at 72fps maxed, source im still working on, bf2 runs everything high (draw distance maxed, no lighting no shadows) at roughly 32fps and i am still fine tuning that game. I have yet to try anything else except ffxi, and i am unhappy with the jagged edges (i have spent more time trying to fix it, then to play it lol)

thanks for the help, another persons view "outside the box" so to speak is always helpful

heres to hope /cheer

pb,out.

 

Goodluck
