Whats your graphics settings Tatsu? We have similar systems and I was just curious.

I'm still running 3.4's. I tried 3.5's and didn't like them as much so went back. I was planning on giving 3.6's a try.

How is your fps in Air to Air now?

Thats good news Pickled. So what resolution are you running?

And how is your frame rate in Air to Air?

Hiya Ranger,

Yea its been a long time. Hope everything is going well there \:\)

Boy thats a bummer about the frame rate. Hopefully someone will stumble across a setting that will help. I hear disabling AA works but heck thats why we bought these nice cards ;\)

Has frame rate in Air to Air always been a problem with FSAA?

Kinda considering installing a dual boot setup ...

TATSU,

I like to inform you that the gridlines on water are still there with Catalyst 3.6. Please try the "navigation" training mission and see.

Using the carrier landing training mission at both 1024x768 and 1600x1200 with FSAA off, I get the grid lines.

Turning on FSAA 2X and 4X the grid lines are NOT there.

I would rather not use FSAA..

Anyone else have any findings?

Just fooling around a little tonite with the new Cat 3.6's

I could enable sparkling water but when I put on low lvl textures I got the grid back... this time with no letters... No matter what combo I tried always was low textures bringing back the grid.

Also... played around with missiles and A2A. Only the 9x's caused the horrible frame rate. Weird cuz I was firing 9m's with no slow down at all and the same with Slammers. Guess its a 9x bug. Bugss...buggs.... \:\)

Btw...my water looks like doo doo. I have sparkling on and low textures off. My water has no texture to it at all. Just looks like big blue Not very inspiring...

Getting very very very close to where I want to be. Sparkling on, Low Textures on (I have water again), 4xFSAA and 4xAF. The only problem is fuzzy text. I set that one setting for alternate pixel but it didn't clean it up enough.

When I tried FSAA by itself the water was ok but I could indeed see the grid. I mean this was worlds better than what I had before. But...the grid lines where there if you looked hard enough. But it wouldn't have bothered me. Turning on AF looks to me like it got rid of the grids. I looked hard and didn't see them. I didn't climb very high... maybe 1000ft. Seems very promising though!!!

Okay...

With FSAA turn on.. you get no grid lines.. with the Cat 3.6s. Turn off the FSAA and you get grid lines with the Cat 3.6s. Air to air is still hosed.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, has anyone written to ATI and told them about these problems?

I heard they are responsive to some of the problems with legacy games that are revealed to them.

Just a thought.
