Anti-aliasing

[Owen_Clarter]

Wondering if anti aliasing in this game is just quite bad or if there's something wrong on my end. Nvidia overlay is also somewhat blurry and unsharp when I open in game, if that's correlated at all

You don't say what resolution you are running the game at, but the FXAA setting is enabled and it can become blurry at resolutions higher than 1080. It's a trade off with speed as FXAA doesn't impact FPS as much as other methods. If you weren't aware, the main difference between AA types is where in the process the actual AA is applied (pre/during/post rendering)

As for what nVidia may or may not be doing behind the scenes, I'm sorry I can't tell you. I have a 3050, but I've been an AMD user for ages and don't really know much about nVidia settings.

Running at 2560x1080. Turning FXAA off makes it slightly worse for me, so not sure what the problem is. There's no other AA option other than FXAA in game, correct?

Which makes sense, at higher resolutions it will become blurry, turning it off should make it "jaggy" irrespective of the resolution. For what it's worth, I am on a 3050, use FXAA and run it at 1080, it doesn't seem overly blurry to me, but then it doesn't look that much different to the video you shared.

I'm new to the game (1.20) so can't really comment on what rendering is offered and why, but it does look like FXAA is the only one available. This then leaves you to post process, either using inbuilt nVidia settings or perhaps using a 3rd party app like Reshade.

Ok thank you for the replies! It sucks but was mostly just making sure it wasn't just on my side.

No probs. I've always had fairly mid PCs so don't worry too much about fidelity rather than frame rate. There are people out there who have played this game for years, I'd suggest their experience of how the game renders over the years will give you much more insight than my limited knowledge will. With luck those people will add their own comments.
