iso downtime to be over zzz

I've got some homework I'm finishing up, so hopefully I have that done in the next hour or so then servers can come back up. I want to get to 38 before I have to go to school. At 37 1/2 right now.

Tera AA/AF guide: http://teracodex.com/forums/topic/162-anti-aliasing-for-tera-nvidia-only/

Here are my current settings, work a little better than those posted. I am still working on trying to find the best AA comparability profile (I had it set to Brothers in Arms the other day and it wasn't working very well).
My SLI comparability is much more efficient than the one the guide is using, in fact the default one runs like garbage. I was seeing gpu usage spikes to 98% constantly. Not optimized at all.

Remember to set Lighting Enrichment to 1 in game, which will turn off their own version of AA which is just a blur filter and not true AA.

I'm going to try 0x000000045 The Dungeon Defenders, Mass Effect, RO2, etc UE 3 engine settings for AA compatibility next.

Trying to get my load of hw done before the servers are up as well lol

Completely forgot about this.

Nvidia Inpector might override that in game setting, but it would probably be better if you just turn it off.

As I said, the in game AA just blurs out the textures, so you get some really garbage looking visuals.

Lose the Blur and add in the x16 AF and you get some really sharp looking textures.

I kind of doubt AO works at all, but its tough to tell on that one.

Going to bump my settings up to 8x MSAA and 8x SS to see how that runs. I'm setting at about 55% gpu usage on both my gpus now.

Got my settings match up to what you posted.
Excited to see how much better it looks.
Going to take this chance to air dust my comp before servers are back up.

Check my edit up there, try this AA compatibility profile: 0x000000045 The Dungeon Defenders, Mass Effect, RO2, etc

SC2 runs on a blizzard proprietary engine, when I was using it I noticed errors and some objects didn't have AA at all. It does work though, albeit not complete.

I tried UE3 games 0x080100C5 (Brothers in Arms) and was just flat out not working very well.

There are several profiles for UE3 games on the list, trying them one by one. But this would be the one I would recommend for now.

Bolding that light enrichment part of my guide post.

EDIT: Basilisk Craig is up on the server status page, maybe they are doing rolling server restarts.
