You really think people are that dumb? This is the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race we're talking about!

You don't get out much do you.......

My advice would be to look at the Inject SMAA hack:

Anti-aliases everything including transparent textures. Low cost in FPS compared to other methods.

Your mistake is to believe that "SGSSAA" is an actual technology. It is not and giving it a name and an abbreviation is just misleading. It is a bug in a driver, which only works for some cards and some versions of the driver. It is pretty useless to the majority and belongs at best into the technical section of this forum. Please accept that what you believe to be helpful may not be helpful at all.

It also does not mean that when people disagree with you that they are against you. They are in fact trying to get you out of your narrow-minded thinking that got you into this argument in the first place. So let's just agree to disagree.

My mistake was posting in the first place. Look at the OP. It says "the problem: blur when SGSSAA is forced" and then gives a solution for that problem. That part has never been edited. It doesn't say people should or should not use SGSSAA. I never said SGSSAA is the best solution for everyone, or that it works for all cards on all drivers, or anything like that. All I said was that *IF* SGSSAA gives you blur, here is the fix. *IF* forcing unsupported SGSSAA through an unsupported third party tool (which is the only way I know of) gives you blur, then this trick will fix the blur. That's all I've said. Now if me coming here and saying that is such a [censored] problem for you, then you really have a problem. And if me pointing out the errors in your "contributions" to the thread is a problem for you, then you should check your facts before you post.

This has nothing to do with TRAA, it does not have anything to do with the INI file setting you mentioned (which is not only unrelated but actually doesn't work in Skyrim anyway), it does work for most nVidia cards with modern drivers, and it does produce results that other AA methods cannot.

Finally, if this being in the "wrong" forum is an issue for you, maybe you should be PMing a mod instead of trolling the thread. You do realise I can't move the topic, right?

It is a bug in the transparency anti-aliasing code of the driver. There are however much better ways to enhance the image. There are for example shader mods that do all sorts of things and that get a full support throughout the community. If anything is wrong with them can you talk to the modders and they will fix it in their next release.

What you are doing is however nonsense. The bug eats more GPU performance than is necessary and nobody knows what it really does besides what you can see on the screen.

Too much flaming - I may tidy up and reopen, we'll see.
