    I noticed the same a few days ago, but still saw a difference in performance.

    Yeah there is no difference above level 3, also tested it on landscape shots. Also no frame rate drop above level 3 so values 3-5 are all level 3 technically.

    Thanks, stonec.

    Looks like I'll have to re-test with the current build ... :)

    the fact that there is little to no FPS drops says to me nothing else is being added to the images regarding AA> surely>?

    Big difference between 1 and 5 when your moving. Performance I can't tell, but visually I can tell, especially in VR.

    The post was about 3,4,5. Maybe if you tested between them there would be no difference when moving. 1 and 5 of course will have big difference. And in this case according to OP 1 and 3 should look the same as 1 and 5.

    nope ... the OP saw no difference between AA levels 3, 4 & 5 and that's what I could confirm in an earlier built, but despite no visual difference, I saw performance differences between those three, where L3 was fastest, L4 being slowest and L5 in between those two.

    if u r on a desktop you can enlarge those pics above. Start on bottom one. It will then overlap so the bottom left wingplate is only in view. U can count the same amount of jagged edges there are.

    Those three pics are not the best examples, because they are lacking detail.
    I made some screenshots while standing in the box with fences, guardrails etc. in the background and saw no difference between L3, L4 & L5 at all.

    I get ya. I was looking for clean white edges. The bloom has sorta undermined my experiment Vo. What is with the excessive bloom.in showroom anyhow?

    Right, so 1 and 3 & 1 and 5 look no different but there is a FPS difference. I just pointed out the fact that he tested differently from what you posted about. No other intentions with my post. :)

    Rouge22 did. You mentioned 3,4,5 and he said there is a big difference between 1 and 5. :) Of course there is, lol.

    What I was getting at is I did test them all, I and there is difference between the levels including 3,4,and 5. The aliased image gets reduced as the levels go up, perhaps it more noticeable in VR than on a screen is why. I haven't tested Rfactor 2 on my monitor so my post is probably irrelevant.

    What I should have said was big difference stepping up from 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

    Clear enough for you? :D
