I have recently started noticing that objects (mostly in the distance) in games I play have jagged edges/slightly flicker when moving. Also sometimes I notice even the font of in-game text is kind of blurry/with jagged edges. I have tried changing anti-aliasing settings both in game and from nvidia control panel but nothing helps. Video card is GTX 660 with latest drivers. Any idea how I might fix the problem?

That's probably just temporal aliasing, which game is it? It's much worse on some types of games vs others

Also sometimes I notice even the font of in-game text is kind of blurry/with jagged edges. I have tried changing anti-aliasing settings both in game and from nvidia control panel but nothing helps


Turn off AA in nvidia control panel then restart the game and turn off any FXAA in game (if it's just labeled "anti-aliasing" then it might be FXAA, LoL and sc2 engine does that for example) and see if it fixes that

see this: (watch in 1080p and fullscreen)



temporal aliasing is the worst by far in Wildstar out of all of the games that i play, but i downsample Shadow of Mordor (render @2.25x screen resolution, then scale down) to remove a lot of that on distance shots

With latest GPU driver you could try using DSR for that game but i costs a lot of performance so it might not be an option

Here is an example how trials fusion looks like. I have nvidia control panel settings at default. This is with the best anti-alising option available in trials fusion turned on. http://i.imgur.com/e9XdEQn.jpg (notice mainly the background) I tried turning off anti-aliasing in the game but the result is the same.

Yea i think you should try DSR (2.25x res with ~25% smoothness) and see if you like it, if it costs too much FPS etc. Other than that, not much that can be done

In that screenshot you showed, that looks to me as if anti-aliasing is completely off and not doing anything. You said you tried to force it on in the NVIDIA control panel, but you should take another look at that. Force it to override the game's setting and set antialiasing to 4x (at least).

Tried all kinds of combinations of settings. It is like anti-aliasing just doesn't work.

Did you make sure to quit and restart the game when playing with setting in the NV control panel?

If you are trying to configure "program settings", maybe the driver looks for the wrong .exe file and doesn't detect the game, so try to do changes to the "global settings" page instead.

Can you try with a different game to make sure nothing about the nvidia drivers is broken? First make sure the game does no AA and has ugly looking edges, then try to force AA in the global settings in the nvidia control panel. That should normally work and a "4x" setting is already enough to smooth out all edges in a game.

Yeah. I restart the games after trying different settings. Also the changes I make are from nvidia control panel 3d settings. I guess those are the global settings?
