BETTER AA OPTIONS

[DiaDeem]

If anyone else is interested, here's a document explaining how the new AA technique works.

tl;dr - It's combining TAA with CMAA. The algorithm picks a few things to go through TAA and treats the rest of the image with CMAA which is a post process solution like FXAA, but better. Apparently it was developed primairlhy for VR and the principle is to get results similar to MSAA without compromising performance and with better results for some objects that historically don't benefit as much from MSAA.

Also, they're adding FSR1 (yuck..) and DLSS2 for NVIDIA users!

I've been waiting for years for anything better than FXAA. Current AA makes the game look so horrible at times for no reason. I know not everyone's gonna be nearly as excited as I am for this upgrade, but I'm so happy they're finally adding this to the game.

FINALLLY the worst part of this games graphics fixed

Maybe Vivian can give Mao advices. Mao has old 3090 video card. What AA should Mao use?

Mao has a great card! I think Mao can use the top option, which I believe is the full implementation of the new TSCMAA. I think they're adding the Jittering Camera for people who may find the effect a bit too heavy, but from what we saw, I'd stick to the top option. Your card should be able to handle it easily.

You also have an NVIDIA card, so if your performance is hurting a bit more than you'd like, make sure turn on DLSS2!

Finally, some good options.

I had hoped they would add DLSS support when they updated the recommended graphics card to an RTX 2060.

Finally, smooth hair is coming.

Adding in an actual AA upgrade is making me extremely happy, combined with the texture updates everywhere.

Kinda sad they defaulted to the bad FSR 1.0 instead of doing at least 2.0 but I am rocking an Nvidia card right now so I'll be enjoying DLSS.

What, this is great news! Am I on the right discussion forum??

Tbh i fully expected the graphics update to be very mid, just new face shaders and lighting. Very happy with how they turned out, props to SE for this one.
Hopefully the job actions keep up the hype, praying dragoon doesn't get summoner'd personally
