I'm not sure if this is the right forum, so if it is not, please let me know.

Anyway, I'm having some problems with image quality. To illustrate these problems, here's a 5-second fraps.

Firstly, AA seems to not be working at all even though it's on the highest. Second, it looks extremely pixel-ish and jagged to the point that games older by a few years look better.

Is this normal? Maybe someone has some ideas?
 
Well what res are you playing at and is the game patched to the latest 1.4 patch for HD support. Maybe check your nvidia control panel to see if it has any of its AA options set to override ingame settings. If that doesn't work it could just be vista being a pain in the ass as usual.
 
I ran Far Cry on my 8800GTS with HDR enabled. It is mostly bloom effect, and was sometimes a little overdone. Unfortunately to get HDR you give up Cryvision. In several situations it simply wasn't worth it.
 
It's on Steam, so it's updated to the latest version. Playing at 1280x1024, native for my monitor.

Nvidia control panel doesn't even show FarCry as an option.

I'm not sure if HDR is enabled or not. It's not in the ingame options menu; I haven't done any tweaking beyond that.
 
to enable hdr in farcry 1.3 and above you need to go into the console and type r_hdrrendering # and substitute the # symbol with a number 0 through 11. zero turns hdr off and 1-11 gives a different look to the light streams. the last time i used it was with the g80 series gpu's and you had to disable aa to get hdr to work properly.

forgot to mention you have to type a \ in front of the r. so its \r_hdrrendering #. sorry.
