Blocky GFX in only a few places in a few tables...


Best Answer Ltek , 15 February 2023 - 01:27 AM

Its fixed!  Getting 70 to 100 FPS on every table (average mid-80s).  LOTR was one of the tables showing the issue and I average 90fps in that using the 'default' High Video settings in VPx (Brute Force 4x SSAA is OFF).

 

I caused the problem by "tweaking" AMD video driver settings (dont know what it was) but when I reset to the defaults, issue disappeared.

 

btw... did some testing with 'Brute Force 4x SSAA' ... All tables were 30-45fps with it on (down from 70-100fps). So that one is a no-go unless you have a super duper GFX card.

 

thx for all the input!

where are you getting this info on how to use the VPX DTexec functions or any of the DTexecs?

why cant we have it? 

who are you talking to?   give it to us and this will save a lot of time for everybody.

don't give me some lame excuse.  give it up.

ROTFLMAO,,,,,BS,  where do you get this stuff...you dont get this from "clickin shit"

i dont have time to be clickin shit to find what all the funtions do.

 

For all AMD GPU's
In Adrenaline, for VPX, disable morphalogic AA, it causes weirds twinkling effects in colors, especially dark colors
FSAA just leave at application settings rather than enhance application settings

If using a lower end GPU and you want to drive a 4k screen, enable super resolution
and then run VPX itself at 2K and adrenaline will upscale it, and it will look pretty good and you will keep the 2K performance
You may want to keep the brute forced 4X fsaa enabled if doing this

Anisotropic does not reallt matter what you set it as, since VPX employs a brute force hack on it.

 

Leave V-Sync off in Adrenaline, let VPX directly dictate vsync or not

I prefer not to enable freesync

 

 

dude you spend way too much time here....get a life.

im not going to spend 100s of hours googling the DTexecs.

i dont spend all day here.  its not that important to me.

thx for all the input!

what GPU and at what resolution?

 

RX580 or better can run VPX with all bells and whistles @ 2K
You should be able to run 4K decently with an RX6600 or better, may need some adjusting for a 6600 BUT at 4K, FSAA is kind of no longer needed
Diminishing returns

thx for the info. I'm using a Ryzen 5 5560U, iGPU is 6 core @ 1600MHz. Its difficult to compare since I could not find benchmark info on it directly, only much older 'versions' which are a lot different.

Only decent specs I found on the iGPU... https://www.techpowe...sp-mobile.c3856

Ryzen 5 5560U specs... 

I don't plan to change out the 1080p screens so if I keep getting 70+ FPS on all VPx tables I'm happy. I only plan to use FX3 and VPx... and run some MAME classic arcade games.

 

Any benefit to running VPx at 2k on 1080p?  Meaning does upscaling it, then downscaling it improve the AA?

It's a Vega 7 GPU
