I even used that configurator program (bleeeeeeh) and still isn't working for Bioshock... 🙁 Edit: eff me... I closed fraps and MSI afterburner and now it works. wonder which was the culprit...

yep fraps was blocking it

I was posting about this at the start of the thread (1st or 2nd page). I discovered when sweetfx is running solo fraps will kill it everytime. However when ran as a proxy of ENB it works fine with Fraps, Precision, Afterburner, what have you.

Is it just me or is dithering doing nothing? I'm trying to just use Dithering+Border for Binary Domain(To get rid of light banding and border issues when using MSAA) Large pictures: No SFX https://i.minus.com/iAs3D5x6B3ZuY.png SFX https://i.minus.com/ik1TzLoaiu1KT.png (Cannot see any difference at all. Let alone doing anything to the banding)

As anyone managed to run sweetfx with FRAPS ? So far i've been using the screenshot function of SweetFX, but i need to run another d3d9 of mine.

Works here running Fraps after the game start.

jup, i can CONFIRM, at least here on my PC.. SweetFX 1.4 runs flawless with Bioshock Infinite here..even with Afterburner on and OSD.. only added smaa, a little sharpen and curves..SMaa is deffo way better then the games fxaa..FPS drop around 7 - 10 with sweetFX..but its ok, capped at 60fps i stay around 50 - 60 fps all teh time..Oh, and i forced fps lock with Drivers, not ingame..Texture streaming bla bla is TRUE and i have no stutters...totally strange, cause before it was the opposite.. Im happy now...

Dither can only do dithering from a higher precision to a lower precision bit-depth. The calculation that SweetFX makes are stored with 23 bit precision and can be dithered to 8 bit precision. The image it gets from the game uses 8 bit precision and cannot be dithered to 8 bit because it's already 8 bit. In short : Dithering only works for the changes that SweetFX makes - if banding was already in the game it will not be removed. Making a debanding shader that also works with the image from the game is on my todo list. Sidenote : I could dither from 8bit down to 7 or 6 bit precision, which might be useful for people that have a crappy LCD monitor that can only display in 7 or 6 bit and have no or crappy built-in dithering themselves. Many gaming LCD monitors use TN panels than can only display 6 bit for each color component, but they still manage to look good because they employ a kind of temporal dithering, so it looks nearly as good as a monitor using 8 bit panels. A crappy 6 bit monitor does not do dithering well however. I might be able to find a crappy old monitor and test out this theory - if I'm right then the dither shader might be able to improve the look on those monitors.

Ahhhhhh Ok. Thanks for clarifying that. my PC monitor for gaming is a bit on the **** side anyway(even though I don't think it's a TN panel. It's edgelit with LEDs, poor black levels, backlight bleeding, etc)

Try fraps

ill give it a shot but im not a fan of fraps. it cost $ and it always caps fps so if im getting at least 60 fps in-game it will drop to 30fps when recording. i love how msi afterburner works. 😏o well im on my laptop right now ill give it a shot tomorrow

I allways change the Keys ! to : ON/Off 45 (Einfg) Screenshot / Doesn't use it but 44 (PrintScreen) Reload Settings / 45 (Entf) "\" is Code 219 Edit. I use the SweetFX Configurator, its easier to change the Keys.

I used that site in the ini file but not working for me. ive tried 219 aswell doenst work either. the configurator crashes for me somehow. thanks for suggesting it though

Hi guys, anyone know whats going on with SweetFX and NullDC? The settings work perfect but I get a slight constant stutter/jitter. Nothing feels smooth exactly. I have tried previous versions of SweetFx, but the same thing happens :/ If anyone knows what is causing it, please help me resolve it if you can. Thanks

EDIT: Not to worry! Fixed it. Was D3Overider conflicting with NullDc 🙂

Want to try this but I saw elsewhere on the forum that SweetFX does not work with D3DOverrider. I'm not sure if I even should use D3DOverrider but I do it to force DirectX Triple buffering since I use Vsync in all games. Apparently Triple Buffering ensures a smoother gameplay.

use Nvidia Control panel or Nvidia Inspector for v_sync settings. I use it in every game without problem.

But that wasn't my question, was it? I was asking about Triple Buffering. Anyhow, I cannot make SweetFX work with Defiance. I've both installed manually and used the Configurator but the image output is the same. I downloaded a preset "Defiance HD" which I've tried to use. Nothing happens when i press Scroll_Lock and I cannot take screenshots using Print_Screen. What did I do wrong? Im really annoyed by the jaggies in this game and was looking forward to using SMAA.
