HD Graphics Serias & Antialiasing Quality

vvvv beta question
#1

hi,

on HD Graphics 3000/4000 (like the Surface Pro), “Antialiasing Quality” of Renderer(EX9) is selectable only “NONE” or “1”. not be shown other value (2~8).

i’d like to choice other quality level.

is there someone who has solved this problem?

thanks.

#2

the enumeration of available antialiasing qualities is reported by directx. so if there is only one in the list, then the graphiccard does not support more.

#3

thanks, i know the mechanism. i guessed the list gets from D3DMULTISAMPLE_TYPE and the CheckDeviceMultiSampleType function.
however, sometimes there is a meddling optimization from some graphics setting application (such as NVIDIA Control Panel).
so, i’d like to know a workaround if anybody solved the problem on Surface or Macbook Air.

#4

the reason of why i’m saying such things & i’m not satisfied is…

  • i’ve read this page (https://communities.intel.com/thread/31912)
  • then i think Intel HD Graphics 4000 has ability to support 4xMSAA or other MSAA.
  • so i’m suspecting there is meddling optimization and if so there is some workaround.
    i guess there are many(not a few) vvvv users using Surface or MacbookAir and someone has tackled this problem.

have you tried with DX11 renderer as well?

#6

ohhh, Renderer(DX11) correctry shows “AA Samples per Pixel” (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32).
and it is working very well.
so…, what’s the difference betweeen DX9 and DX11 ?

also, i tried latest vvvv x64 & x86 then their behavior is as same.

#7

so it would be interesting if you find any other dx9 application that reports AA quality levels differently than vvvv.
