Terrain Textures Problems [AF Misconfigured]

[zeyuri]

Hi

 

I'm having trouble with the terrain textures. In a relatively close distance they look very ugly to me, but when I get near them look good again. Below is a link to two images, the first contains a tag of the problem.

 

 

 

I set all my settings in the launcher official to ultra, but as I use the mod organizer, I think they are not being read, but I do not know what settings to change in the ini editor in mod organizer.

 

Here are the the code of my INIS.

i'm using google tradutor, so sorry for the bad english.

 

thanks guys

That's normal when viewing textures at extreme angles, such as your character traveling on the road. Anisotropic Filtering is the only way to improve it. Based on the screenshots, I'd guess that you may not have it enabled, but increasing the amount of Anisotropic Filtering will improve that.

His AF is enabled to 16x...at least it says so in the INI. "iMaxAnisotropy=16"

Then something is overriding it or cancelling it out. Could be a misconfigured setting in the drivers.

[zeyuri]

I have the ENB, the Nvidia Driver and skyrim that may apply AA, which one should I us?

[TechAngel85]

What version of ENBSeries are you using? v.119? v.139? Also do you also have Anisotropic Filtering turned in the NVIDIA drivers?

[ath3nos]

Are those ini settings from the my documents- my game- skyrim directory or the one from the profile in mo? I only ask because if you change the ones in the skyrim directory after you created the profile those changes won't carry over.

Anisotropic filtering is something different than AA. You should use either ENB or Nvidia driver to force 16x AF. The performance cost is minimal for both.

Use only one AF source. Either from the Launcher, the ENB, or the NVIDIA settings. Choose one and turn the others off. The performance and quality is the same for all versions. ENB AF Comparisons.

 

The reason I asked about AA is because if you are using any ENBSeries version past v.119, then turn AA off in the Launcher (which I see it is off in your INI) and in the NVIDIA settings. Hardware AA doesn't work past v.119. You'll have to turn it on in the ENB (see link above for comparisons) or use SMAA.

It would be nice if you could throw in the in-game AF comparison in there.

Need a screenshot looking down a road for the ENB AF Comparisons. Looking straight at a tree doesn't do the scene justice for an AF compare, as a lot of improvement with AF will be seen much further from the camera.

I'm assuming your talking about the laucher's AF? I can do that.

I can do this as well. Won't be today most likely but by tomorrow.

[TechAngel85]

Okay...so I did those comparisons today. ENB AF Comparisons. There is practically no difference between the options.

[Salvador]

Thanks for comparisons!

 

Clearly for AF doesn't matter what you use, although, ENB seems to cost slightly more FPS. And both ENB + Nvidia do slightly better job in the far distance (negligible)

 

AA though, would love to see a comparison there as well, between  launcher, driver (MSAA, SSAA), SMAA, FXAA and ENB, and possible combinations thereof. I don't like the ENB AA in the images you provided. Th AA works, but blurs the image, especially on foliage, makes it look painted.....

 

I understand it is going to be a lot of testing, might do that myself some time.

You could do the testing for non-ENB users but it's pointless for ENB users because there is no hardware AA after v.119. So for ENB users, you either use the ENB AA or none at all. :(

SMAA still works I believe.
