@Templar1980

Hi there! Obviously I must get some more information about your system, so
can you start by posting your latest game log here?

@BenganJ - Note 3 much better now. Thanks.

@Sansemiano - The mouse does lag a bit at 30 fps but then i'm driving, not playing clicking on the menu etc. At 60 fps it won't lag. But it sounds like your Tobii isn't providing a good stable input into the game? Does it have a smoothing setting in its software?

@Templar1980 - That sounds correct... 20 fps at 100% = AA, 50 or 60 fps with 125% = no AA and worse looking pic as you stated.
As BenganJ says, what are your specs? This AA is very demanding on gpu. Read the Q&A on first post.

@BenganJ - I think a note may be required:
Only use NPI AO if the in game SSAO is disable.

I suspect that having both may well kill the fps as it'll do the same thing twice?
Does the game default SSAO on?
If someone with 1.38 could verify this.

@JHTrucker

Yes, SSAO defaults to Medium, at least when I started up 1.38 OB. There's 4 levels,
Disabled, Low, Medium and High. So far I haven't found a good place to compare,
but at the places I've tried I can't even see any difference between Disabled and
High. That Note will be added as soon as I get a grip on this.

@BenganJ - I'm glad you're now on it!
No rush, give it a good check out. It was just in case people come here not having used this before and have 1.38 installed.

Perhaps it's like SMAA compared to MSAA... they both do the same thing but one is way better.
SSAO faster but not as good quality? NPI AO slower but better quality? sort of thing?

@JHTrucker

Well, in the blog presenting SSAO they clearly states it's a POSTPROCESSING method,
just like MLAA and SMAA and we know how effective that has been.

EDIT: You might have to look at multimon_config.sii, but I'm not sure yet. As soon as
I set SSAO to Disabled the UI size flips, getting a lot smaller.
