Re: PR:BF2 Guide to Best Possible Graphics with nVidia GPU
That looks a lot better, if you are taking too much of a performance hit. You can use other AA methods, I personally use this one because I find it to be the best.
Another good alternative I used before was 2x2 OGSSAA. In Nvidia Inspector, it's called 2x [2x2 Supersampling (D3D Only)] or something like that. Then turn off antialiasing transparency or set it lower. The AA transparency can be too much for some systems, especially on maps like Korengal where there are so many trees and bushes which are transparent textures. I recommend SweetFX as it barely affects performance while increasing texture quality, shadows, lighting and makes the colors pop out more. |

Re: PR:BF2 Guide to Best Possible Graphics with nVidia GPU
Thanks SirBond, this is awesome! SweetFX is definitely better than ENB.
In these screenshots I have 4x SGSSAA applied with your SweetFX settings that I've tweaked a bit. I disabled bloom, because it has a huge performance impact in certain situations, and I've lessened the luma sharpening effect considerably. In the 2nd and 3rd screenshots I also have downsampling applied from 2560x1440. I can't decide yet whether it makes much of a difference quality and performance wise. |

Re: PR:BF2 Guide to Best Possible Graphics with nVidia GPU
Extracted to battlefield 2 folder, copy and pasted your settings over the stock one, crashes pr.exe. No error message other than program has stopped working.

If you are running overlays, disable them. They cause it to crash. | |

Maybe I don't notice the impact, since vsync is enabled. | |

I was trying to decide between running it at 1440p with 60fps or 1080p at 120fps. It's hard to go back to 60 fps once you have experienced 120. I too also have trouble figuring out if the higher resolution is worth it. Sometimes I think the 1440p is more crisp than using supersampling at 1080p, but other times, I don't think it is. I don't really know, I need to take a comparison screenshot of both. Glad to hear it, lol it seems like you have hit every single hurdle to get this working. Good thing I did as well when I first tried this so I was able to help you along. | |

Re: PR:BF2 Guide to Best Possible Graphics with nVidia GPU
Getting this error after booting PR. I followed your instructions to detail.
Any idea? EDIT: It has something to do with SweetFX, I removed it and the game booted properly. |
