AMD has released its 6XXX cards for a couple of months, since then, you could find a new feature called
”Morphological filtering” in CCC control panel. Everybody knows it’s the newest AA solution for fashioned
games, but it may cause some problems in some circumstances.
In my opinion you take the advantage and you suffer its drawback, that’s all.
Below is my little test of MLAA and excuse me if the games are a little older then you expect,
also I am not a devout win7&dx11 enthusiast~~
You can set “Morphological filtering” enabled by clicking the check box in CCC panel.
1、ABOUT PERFORMANCE
set 4aa/8af in driver or built-in options to run all tests,
set morphological filtering on/off to see the difference
MY PC：E6500, 4GB RAM, ASUS HD6850
DRIVER：CCC 11.8
BENCHMARK：3DMARK05、3DMARK06、CRYSIS、LOST PLANET 2
3DMARK05 MF：OFF
3DMARK05 MF：ON
3DMARK06 MF：OFF
3DMARK06 MF：ON
CRYSIS MF：OFF
CRYSIS MF：ON
LOST PLANET 2 TEST_A MF：OFF
LOST PLANET 2 TEST_A MF：ON
LOST PLANET 2 TEST_B MF：OFF
LOST PLANET 2 TEST_B MF：ON
summary
Several months ago when I enabled morphological filtering, there was a dramatic performance drop,
now it has reached a reasonable level, and you could just set it on and not to worry about the performance.
Not all games are so pleasant though, due to different 3D engines or other technologies used in games…
2、ABOUT Anti-Aliasing
All pics below are 4AA/8AF screenshots captured by FRAPS.
You could discover when facing light source MLAA does a great job,
and it improves normal AA as well.
CRYSIS
FALLOUT - New Vegas
WOLFENSTEIN
3、ABOUT TEXTURE
When MLAA is enabled, textures become a little blurring,
details are lost due to calculating method of MLAA.
Texts on screen also suffer the same problem and may become illegible because of small fonts.
CRYSIS：shadows are more stereoscopic when MLAA is off
the right pic(MLAA on) is a little out of focus.
CRYSIS：take a close look at the surface of the plank, the dust on the left is more vivid, isn’t it?
FALLOUT - New Vegas：textures on the right(MLAA on) are a little vaugue,
the wood planks and soil reveal more details when MLAA is disabled.
