dgVoodoo

Bjarne Hansen · Oct 31, 2019

Made a tread in GTR2 about using dgVoodoo Dx9 to Dx11 wrapper.
Would strongly recommend AMS users to take a look as it installs the same way in Automobilista.
If anything it works even for AMS than for Gtr2.
No more jagged mirrors nor simmering distances.
Does cost some fps but should not be an issue for most computer setups.

Interested in giving this a try, one question i do have is what changes do you need to make to the nvinspector profile if any.

You can turn off Anti aliasing compatibility 0x000000. Think it is better?
In AMS you can turn off everything and just use AF in game menu.
But no harm keeping it like you used to do except a slight drop in FPS

Tried it out tonight, easy to setup although I had trouble downloading from the link you posted. I found his support forum and got the files from there. Picture quality is definitely better for me and seems to run smoother as well. Just managed to try it out for an hour but like it so far. Thanks for sharing this, will try on my GTR2 and GTL installs as well.

The deVoodoo dll's are a little harder on FPS with Gtr2 but I got a RTX 2070 so do not care still got +180 fps.
But find AMS gets the best improvements and would not run without.

I'm interested to try this a well, you don't happen to save that link, my router is in general warning me about the site, and blocking any download attempt. So an alternative download where I don't need to override the blocking would be much better.

Sure thing Jens, I got from this thread https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=68058&start=40. I went with the latest beta the WIP66 build and had no problems.

Thanks, worked without any warnings. I'll give a try and see if it improves the visuals.

I made a a few test runs, to be noted I'm on triples 7680x1440 and SLI cfg.
Easy to setup and test, tried both app driven and fixed filter and MSAA levels.

The color tone changed to a bit warmer/more color, that was to the better.
Noted no improvement of close and distant object flicker.

Looked like it was a bit smoother, but looking more in detail it blur the result a bit to much:

Top wrapper, below standard, a few examples:

Will try some more how it look with other cars, shadows and other effects if it can be tweaked for better result.

With "Advanced Setting" I do get similar blurred setting using default dll, so here you might get an advantage.
I normally use 8x multisample and custom SLI bits.
