GTX 480 32xS AntiAliasing System Setup and Results


Recommended Posts

I thought I'd copy this over from the Screenshot's Forum, here's the original post (with more pictures):

First a picture of what it looks like:

Then my system specs, setup and FPS results:

System:

MSI P55-G55

i5-750 @ 4.0Ghz

4GB DDR3-1600

GTX 480

CFG file tweaks: (Only the relevant stuff)

[JOBSCHEDULER]

AffinityMask=14

[bUFFERPOOLS]

UsePools=0

[GRAPHICS]

HIGHMEMFIX=1

STALE_BUFFER_THRESHOLD=1024

[Display]

TextureMaxLoad=9

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=40

UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=0

ForceFullScreenVSync=False

ForceVSync=False

[Main]

DisablePreload=1

FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.25

[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480.0]  *only shown to display using FSX enabled AF and nHancer enabled AA*

Mode=1920x1080x32

Anisotropic=1

nHancer Settings:

AA: 32xS (forced, not enhanced)

AF: Application Controlled

vSync: Off

*All other settings default driver values*

FSX Display Settings: (Only things not maxed out)

Texture Res: 30cm

Water: High 2x

Traffic: 0 Comm / 2 GA (controlled by UT2 at 100% Daily and Weekly schedules)

Car Traffic: 15

Water Traffic: 0 / 0

AC Self Shadow: Off

Ground Scenery Shadows: Off

Bloom: Off (ENBSeries Mod instead)

Lens Flare: Off

Cloud Distance: Minimum

Cloud Density: High

Results:

Area in Screenshots above: 25~29 no stutters or blurries (FPS Limiter set to 25, so I could probably set it higher with the FPS jumping over 25...)

Urban Areas: Portland - 22~25 (22 over KPDX, 25 everywhere else in town), Seattle - 17~25 (17 over and at KSEA, 25 everywhere else in town) (I attribute the FPS loss to 100% UT2 Traffic)

Thoughts:

The new GTX 480 is a monster! When testing, I only lost 3 FPS when going from 8xS to 32xS. The Fermi architecture seems to handle high AA very well, and I'm very pleased with the results!  :)

Hope this helps anyone that was interested.

I don't tweak fsx.cfg, but out of curiosity with all the recent hype, I found zero difference in performance with all those BP=0 tweaks. They are really not needed for the 480GTX. I run a virgin clean fsx.cfg and the card just munches through everything without a blip.
