You can just install the 64 bit "dedicated" content to the 32 bit version. There's a mod for that, but really it doesn't change anything important. Better to stick with the 32 bit AND various fixes (DX9b, widescreen, etc.)

You are talking about a (human) perception/enhancement problem, i'm talking about pixel matrix / 2D signal through various stages of processing. And dgVoodoo2 does the latter.

"weird" "irrelevant technicality" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidelity Similarly in electronics, fidelity refers to the correspondence of the output signal to the input signal, rather than sound quality Maybe I'm from an engineering school so I know what I'm talking about? Fidelity is NOT quality.

I'm not "contradicting" anybody, I'm saying that if you want that kind of fidelity you must know the features of the output and reverse/compensate them in the upscaling. But there's no singular output possible for an image signal (take the laste stage bunch of low pass filters known as "postprocess …

It's why i've said "Or you must create a dedicated upscaling algorithm for every last stage AA used (FXAA, SMAA, CMAA, etc.) just like a control chain of transfer functions." It applies to antialiasing AND to monitor limits. But just must create an algorithm using "information" about the output …

I'm talking about presentation (to monitor) stage, of course at that stage what I've said is true. I'm not talking about the fidelity of the rasterized 3D scene in relation to upscaled vs original resolution, but the fidelity of the upscaling it self. At no point did I misunderstand what you're …

In term of upscaling fidelity (not quality) there's no way to outmatch 1 pixel -> 2x2 pixel. Or you must create a dedicated upscaling algorithm for every last stage AA used (FXAA, SMAA, CMAA, etc.) just like a control chain of transfer functions. Having in mind the prostprocess stages/passes you can …

Integer upscaling is still the best in term of "fidelity" :p

It's in front of Sun Fac "war room" but you can see the problem at every "window" 😁 in the second levels of Geonosis (just when you complete the squad).

Skybox problem in Republic Commando (Geonosis). Can you check dege? (I'm using an Intel 750 iGPU + lastest drivers with D3D12 as you can see, but the issue is present with D3D11 too) NO wrapper D3D12 wrapper

Maybe there are problems with the input part, not being totally indipendent from the rendering in dgVoodoo2 (by necessity)
