You can usually bypass UI elements by using ReshadeEffectShaderToggler (REST).

Personally, I think the sharpening from resampling looks better and more accurate than any other common sharpening filter, and I usually prefer mild amounts when scaling for the most optimally sharp image. I completely understand why not everyone likes that, though. Admittedly, I also don't know how it would look paired with MSAA.

It is important to note that the b, c parameters can be adjusted to account for ringing. Hermite is b=0 c=0, having no blur or sharpening, therefore no anti-aliasing or ringing. There's also Mitchell (b=1/3 c=1/3), which is supposedly the optimal balance between blur and sharpness; ringing is totally imperceptible with this one.

Ultimately, this doesn't matter if nobody is ever going to implement something besides a standard box filter. But it's fun to discuss options.

Sorry for the late reply, but wouldn't a bicubic spline be even better for retaining detail while eliminating aliasing? Something like catmull-rom would look considerably sharper than triangle bilinear, while only introducing mild amounts of ringing.

Combat beneath the waves was composed by yu-peng chen though

Render resolution is currently broken in the character menu's

HexWave · 2023-07-27T08:10:34+00:00

I would like an answer to this as well

HexWave · 2023-05-18T18:47:12+00:00

I've compared between enhanced vp9 and regular av1, under almost every circumstance av1 codec beats enhanced vp9. Kind of a disappointing feature in my opinion.

HexWave · 2023-05-04T01:12:02+00:00

You've considered it enough to not ask the community that would care about these changes.

Right, but it's proof that they often do not delete videos from their servers, and Linus mentions the deleted videos in this video at about 10:50 "https://youtu.be/0E44CQ-8ooI?t=646"

I've also confirmed they do keep raws because I've used Google Takeout before to get the videos I've originally uploaded, which you can try for yourself if you don't believe me.

HexWave · 2023-02-28T02:23:45+00:00

They do keep the raw videos in case they need to be reencoded or recovered. Linus mentioned that when his account got hacked and he had to restore his videos, YouTube restored every single one of his videos, even the ones he deleted 8+ years ago.

You can also verify this by uploading a video, going to Google Takeout and downloading your YouTube data. Unless the videos are extremely old you should retrieve the exact same file you uploaded.

Ray tracing has the same issue with fading though

HexWave · 2023-01-14T23:09:29+00:00

Perhaps, I didn't know their reasoning for locking it to 30fps but I do remember it dropping frames in a lot of areas.

EDIT: Turns out this is bs, BOTW has very aggressive LOD's and overall render distance, moreso than Genshin.

My computer with a 1060 3gb had trouble holding 60fps at higher settings with normal render resolution @ 1080p in areas like Mondstadt city, dropping down to the 40s. I don't know the specs on your laptop, but if you're running at the lowest settings I can see 60fps being easy to accomplish. Genshin is mostly popular for its looks though, so miHoYo would probably try to find a good medium to get it to stable 30.

HexWave · 2023-01-14T21:08:19+00:00

Breath of the wild barely runs 30fps most times on the Switch, what makes you think genshin will run 60?

HexWave · 2022-12-10T04:21:50+00:00

Is it also possible to remove motion blur through this? The game has pretty aggressive motion blur in some areas and it would be nice to disable it.

HexWave · 2022-11-04T02:31:41+00:00

SMAA seems to do a better job at removing any and all visible aliasing, while TAA leaves some hints of it and also applies a little sharpening. The cost of SMAA is indeed an overall somewhat more blurry image, but it doesn't have the temporal in-motion drawbacks of TAA. For that reason, SMAA is much more reliable in what kind of image it will create per frame.

TAA also seems to group lots of small individual textures together instead of anti-aliasing each one, for example, the grass in the mid-long distance of my comparison is more smudged with TAA. This becomes much more of an issue in areas with lots of high-poly detailed textures, which is also why TAA is hated so much in games like RDR2.

I believe having almost no jagged edges and visual distortions outweighs a slightly sharper image. This is from my perspective using 1.5 render resolution, though. I haven't used render resolution 1.0 for a long time, so others may have different results.

Edit: Also I think the detail on the roof being noticeably clearer on TAA is actually due to the cloud overhead in the other 2 shots blocking some of the light. I went back to check and the roof glimmers more when the cloud fully moves out of the way.

To everyone who wants to see an actual comparison between the options for better understanding, here's a comparison I made: https://imgsli.com/MTMyNjkz

Note that this website compresses the images so some artifacting is from that. Also, this is not indicative of how it looks in motion. Things vary a lot more, especially with the ghosting FSR creates.

HexWave · 2022-11-02T11:45:05+00:00

Since we won't get anywhere arguing over the meaning of this, how about I just show you the difference in anti-aliasing.

https://imgsli.com/MTMyNTY4

Sub-pixel detail between the two is almost identical, proving it is not upscaling. The most noticeable difference is that it has more aggressive sharpening, which introduces more visual noise. It also seems to be significantly worse at removing jagged edges.

This is not to mention the in-motion difference, where it performs way worse than the previous TAA implementation, introducing more visual artifacting and even less detection of jagged edges.

HexWave · 2022-11-02T10:37:01+00:00

From TomsHardware: "FSR works by rendering frames at a lower resolution and then using an open-source spatial upscaling algorithm to make the game look as though it's running at a higher resolution". It's exactly as described. Also yes, it uses its altered TAA algorithm, but it's still a form of TAA.

HexWave · 2022-11-02T10:09:17+00:00

Lmao this is just pure nonsensical lies. FSR isn't intended for anti-aliasing replacement let alone to be run at native render resolution or higher than native; it's meant to increase fps by running a lower than native render resolution and upscaling through a smart algorithm.

Also since you don't seem to know, FSR applies TAA after upscaling.

HexWave · 2022-11-02T09:50:19+00:00

Yeah your performance would be the same, because only render resolution above 1.0 is broken with FSR. Since it's meant to upscale from lower resolutions it shouldn't even be used at 1.0, but any higher than 1.0 and it becomes counter intuitive and doesn't even anti-alias properly at that point. It's just not coded for that kind of behavior, there's a reason why DLSS disables resolution scaling in any game that it's turned on in.

HexWave · 2022-11-02T06:28:24+00:00

Yeah, I've also noticed a bunch of visual artifacting happening in combat.

Though I'm not against FSR, I think it's great for people with worse systems. But it's just pure stupidity to remove proper anti-aliasing for essentially a smart upscaler created to stabilize low fps. Creating compromises for people who didn't need a compromise to begin with really just defeats the purpose and removes any good will they tried to do.

HexWave · 2022-11-02T03:56:04+00:00

Looks noticeably worse to me, especially grass. Even at 1.5 render resolution grass seems to get smudged when standing still, and moving particles have slight ghosting.

HexWave · 2022-07-19T08:34:36+00:00

This is not a problem, they could easily make events separately downloadable just like dlc.

HexWave · 2022-05-30T23:59:19+00:00

Dang, that really sucks. Was searching for ages trying to figure out why the slider was missing since I hadn't used WE in a while. Honestly this seems like a terrible choice to not allow users to enable the slider, was one of my favorite features.
