Anti-Aliasing/Anisotropic Filtering not working properly


torminater

Question

Hey guys,

 

today I found out that my texture shimmering is absolutely related to Anti-Aliasing and/or Anisotropic Filtering. Setting the "Allow negative LOD bias" to "Clamp" makes the structures appear halfway decent again, BUT it still is there.

So I started yet another testing round using only Skyrim assets and Vanos Hybrid HD-DLC-Mod.

 

 

That's what I did:

1. Disabled Bethesda Logo on startup.

2. Enabled logging and tracing in skyrim.ini for papyrus.

3.Opened up Skyrim Game Launcher OR Skyrim.ini

4. Applied various settings. Details below

5. Enabled "Boost"-mode in IObits Game Booster.

6.Started Skyrim Performance Monitor.

7. Ran 100% clean Vanilla Skyrim 1.6.89 with TESV.exe (sry not SKSE!!!).

6. Loaded new game (started today for testing purposes only) from exiting Helgen Keep dungeon.

7. God mode enabled.

8. Continiously sprinted to Whiterun only travelling by road ignoring all combat except a part of the giant fight before Whiterun. Ended testing whilst looking down from Dragonsreach and testing VRAM-Stuttering there.

9. Exited Skyrim.

10. Screenshot of Skyrim Performance Monitor.

 

First test:

Skyrim Launcher Options:

Lowest, means Low Preset applied and manually set everything except the resolution to the lowest possible setting, kept object detail fade as it gets preset.

Ini Options:

no changes

Comments: I actually managed to crash once to desktop, where TESV.exe was apparently not responding anymore.

Comments: Aliasing on stairs, lit up items with shadows cast on them (plus shadow striping/strobing and all that crap) and items on loading screens. The game felt a little bit laggy, but bearly noticeable only. No lag/stutter on the Dragonsreach reference spot.

Comments: Aliasing on stairs, lit up items with shadows cast on them (plus shadow striping/strobing and all that crap) and items on loading screens.  The game felt a little bit laggy, but bearly noticeable only. Not really lagging/stuttering more than with normal uGrids-settings... No lag/stutter on the Dragonsreach reference spot.

LOD adjustment is also being mis-represented on a lot of websites. You do not always have to adjust it, particularly when using SGSSAA. A lot of it comes down to the compatibility bits being used. Lowering also tends to introduce more texture shimmering. I'm using the Skryim bits provided by the latest drivers, LOD set to 0, and I have an outstanding picture with no texture shimmering. 

So you don't use any other settings in Nvidia Inspector? Just standard NVidia provided bits?
I use Skyrim bits for everything, though I'll caveat by saying I don't have an SLI config.

 

Using SGSSAA, there is still some slight anti-aliasing, but it's only on very fine detail, or smaller objects (planks, bars, etc.) when viewed at certain angles or from afar. Shadows can still be a problem primarily on grass, particularly with bright plants, but adjustments to shadows can help alleviate the majority of that.

Me personally, I am going the route of less shadows in the distant terrain, and better defined in close proximity. This is because I prefer the shadows to look better when I am near them, and it reduces the shimmer from distant grass.

 

I first launch SkyrimLauncher.exe, go into Options and set Shadow Detail to Ultra.

 

I then open SkyrimPrefs.ini and change the following values:

iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=4096
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=4096
fShadowDistance=3000
fShadowBiasScale=0.6
I then open Skyrim.ini and change the following values:

iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=4096
fSunShadowUpdateTime=2
fSunUpdateThreshold=1
The fSun variables may not be there unless you have added them yourself, but they belong in the [Display] section. These two will come down to your own particular taste on how often you want shadows to update, and how long the update should take. I went with these settings to prevent shadow flicker when updating. That transition is noticeable, but smooth.

 

Consequently, if you want awesome shadow movement for a timescale video (around 2000), set them both to 0.0050.

 

But, this is a tradeoff between having shadows in the distance and better looking shadows close up. You can adjust the fShadowDistance to taste (the further you push this out, the more shimmering will occur from shadows, particularly with lower resolution shadows, and if fSun updates are too often you'll get more flicker as well).

Adjusting iShadowMaskQuarter doesn't give a lot in the way of visual difference in the shadows. It's not something that you will notice in-game, but only in screenshots to compare. The biggest thing that will affect the visual will be iBlurDeferredShadowMask.

 

A value of 8 is the highest I was ever willing to go in the past as the blurring is too much, and they just don't look like shadows anymore.

 

An alternative, is to use the latest version of ENB for only the shadow enhancement (disable everything else). I did not experience any kind of FPS hit when using it only for the purpose of making those shadows look a lot better. I made comparison images in this thread with the 110 version of ENB (think it is up to 114 now).

Issues that folks were having were when trying to get other effects as well such as DOF. If all you want is pure shadow enhancement, there were no issues.

 

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to test the latest versions of ENB.

 

EDIT: The config I had posted was also for example purposes. It specifically had everything else turned off for testing shadows.

ahh good to know. i'ld like to get dof and shadows working with the newest version if possible but i don't know anything about creating my own enb config. any idea?

I haven't created my own DOF settings, so I'm not sure yet how to go about making that. I was previously using a config file that only had DOF effects, and I just turned on the shadows afterward. I'll see if I can find the one I was using and see if it still works.
