No option for anti aliasing?

Blanchflower · Dec 30, 2011

OK, my OS is Windows 7 64-bit and my graphics card is 9800M GTS. I am wondering why there is no option for 2 x, 4 x or 8 x MSAA? I am playing Direct X 9 by the way.

Do anyone of you face the same problem? The option is being greyed out in my game!

Thanks!

Do you have the latest video drivers installed?

Thanks for the kind help! This means that I need to play the game in Direct X 10. As my laptop video card is getting old, playing the game in Direct X 10 causes the game to freeze IF I play a lot of civilizations and on a huge map.

This freeze occurs towards the end of a long game. But there are no such problems when I choose to play the game under Direct X 9.

By the way, I have the latest video card drivers installed for my laptop graphics card.

Cheers!

where did you read that?

I think that you are going to have an even harder time forcing the game into Direct X10 mode, than forcing the Graphics card to do AA using Direct X 9 mode.

This game works best if you do have a Direct X 11 card, or play in Direct X 9 mode.

It is in the first answer: Anti-Aliasing is not available for Civ5 in DirectX 9 via the program itself.

So if I want to enable anti-aliasing, I have to play in Direct X 10.

That is quite true. My laptop graphics card is a Direct X 10 card and it fairs poorly, if I run the game in Direct X 10. The same thing applies to Total War Shogun 2. It fairs poorly if I play that game in Direct X 10.

Right now, I am saving up to buy a brand new PC. I made a mistake in buying a laptop. Even though it is a gaming laptop, a PC fairs more better in graphics intensive games.

:sad:

And the next bit goes on to say that you need to enable outside of the game and gives instructions as to how.
