Ok bit late I know lol but I finally got around to trying Niran's viewer and btw that viewer is awful to navigate but I found I'm still having the same issues with my AA, it seems it doesn't matter which viewer I'm using I have no AA unless I manually set it via Nvidia Control Panel.

I'll try setting it to let the application decide just in case but I don't mind seeing the blurred text lol, I never really notice the blurryness to it. I'll have a look at Black Dragon and see how that one looks, I tried it once a long time ago I do remember the interface was something to get used too lol.

Hi Klytyna! Ok so with nvidia I used the control panel to fiddle with the settings. Go into the manage 3d settings and then change the program settings for firestorm. So it looks like this. I've had this issue since I got the card which was about just over 6 months ago, I've just always had to let the control panel handle everything otherwise no AA lol.

Well checking this by the looks of it enabling ALM and disabling DOF I still have jagged edges but not as bad again with DOF on objects, disable it and I have jagged edges. I just checked the main viewer and it seems I have jagged edges issues all with that as well. So it is with the other viewers, I thought it was just Firestorm. I haven't actually checked with Catznip or Singularity but I'm assuming if I'm having the issue with the main viewer it'd be the same with those as well.

Ok here we go, hope these are alright ALM Off - ALM On -

Hi Whirly thank you so much for your responses Ok so I tried turning of ALM and I have AA but as soon as I enable ALM again my AA goes away. Think I'll have to just stick to doing my AA manually Ok DOF problem now I feel really really dumb because when I lower it to my current screen size I have DOF and if I go bigger it looses the DOF but it's still there. I guess I was saving my images way to high resolution lol. Ok so my lag issue isn't happening when I had shadows on at the moment lol. I checked my Phototools tab though and everything is set to default, I clicked the D though just in case on those tabs.

So ever since I got my new graphics card I've been noticing some strange issues I have though this only seems to happen with the Firestorm Viewer. My first main issue is that no matter what I do I cannot get anti aliasing to work, I've tried setting it from 2x all the way upto 16x with no change whatsoever. I have a work around where I can manually set it to work through the Nvidia control panel but that can be a pain. The next issue is whenever I take pictures inworld I can see the depth of field working perfectly inworld but once I take the image and save it poof no depth of field whatsoever. I've tried doing the save in different resolutions with no change at all. This is my PC Info: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3330 CPU @ 3.00GHz (2993.21 MHz) Memory: 16348 MB OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit (Build 14393) Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 960/PCIe/SSE2 Windows Graphics Driver Version: 21.21.0013.7866 OpenGL Version: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 378.66 Is this something to do with my GPU, my CPU? My Memory? I'm at a complete loss on what the heck is causing all these issues. My last and final issue is more well internet related I think. I've noticed even without having shadows on I can lag in certain places but when I have shadows on no matter where I go my FPS drops quite a lot. I'm talking from 60fps all the way to 7fps. I'm not sure if that's something to do with my internet, where I am located in the world, my ping etc etc. If you need to know details about my speeds, ping etc etc let me know. Has anyone heard of anything like these issues happening before? I'd truly appreciate any help as I'm getting a little fed up with these issues lol.

Hi everyone, So since the newest release with the firestorm viewer and in fact a couple of older versions I've been having some issues with my graphics card driver crashing hard. I get the dreaded 'graphics driver has stopped responding and recovered' message. This seems to only happen when I'm in sims with heavy mesh on it I believe and only on the Firestorm Viewer. I have tried both Catzip and the official viewer and had no issues at all. Here are my specs if you need it: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3330 CPU @ 3.00GHz (2993.19 MHz) Memory: 8155 MB OS Version: Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit (Build 9200) compatibility mode. real ver: 10.0 (Build 10011) Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 560 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 Windows Graphics Driver Version: 10.18.0013.5560 OpenGL Version: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 355.60 Also when this does happen my graphics settings are very low, I don't have atmospheric shading on or anything and neither does my other viewers. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both my graphics card driver and the FS Viewer. Making to clear anything from the old installations. I hope someone can offer some guidance to what is causing this as it seems very strange indeed.
