Disable Anti Aliasing In Modern Games

[@Hybred]

Thanks for showcasing this! I'm in contact with an IW9 engine lead and their accessibility team, I'm trying to get them to add back more anti-aliasing options (Like SMAA T2x, SMAA, & Off) Everything is going smoothly, I hope BO6 will make this change however developers can be quite stubborn and its very frustrating getting them to change their mind, even though this is also an accessibility issue that causes motion sickness in some people. Also BF2042 with the full method worked for me, I think you might've done something different from me? I use BF2042 on Steam if that helps.

[@endIess...]

If BO6 wont have an option to disable anti aliasing im not buying it. really love playing cold war just because it has an option to do that, hence i dont play modern cods besides cold war.

[@ZombieMan2090]

Hope you do It would help alot with visibility if I could just turn off Aa

[@cacaboss227]

I've done the full method with DLSS set on quality and I get a similar picture as shown. A lot of black dots? around the screen flickering. Don't mind the jitter with a crisp image like in MWIII but I'm unable to achieve it in BF2042. Any clues? Could you maybe share your files/dlsstweak.ini perhaps?

[@Gr00t]

TAA is a plague on modern games, even in single player games it looks terrible. Love playing older games that offer MSAA.

[@paul2609]

You either get a max of 4 realtime light sources (forward rendering with MSAA) or infinite realtime light sources or raytracing (deferred rendering with TAA/temporal denoiser). If you want the best looking games you just have to compromise by not going with forward+MSAA.

[@epoch151]

@@paul2609 Look up tiled or clustered forward rendering

[@tommystebbs]

CS2 is the only modern game that has MSAA which is why it looks so much cleaner than the new CODs or Battlefields. TAA is a joke.

@@paul2609 yup, people just need to accept a tiny bit of blur, its really not that big of a deal

[@oomegator]

Forced upscaling and forced taa is such a plague. Really dislike that they dont let us simply run the games at native without any aa.

[@arsizhifenerprozhod]

They will never understand that antialias IS NOT "their super special studio innovating in graphics", it is just an option, configurable, that some guys configure VERY BADLY. If they want to improve graphics: Improve art, lighting, polygons, (optimization is dying, anyway) but that makes a game unique. But let me disable your dumb, evil and blurry TAA, if you take a screenshot with your high end rig it looks horrible, it looks like a paused blurry video.

[@BorealSine]

Magic formula which works everywhere: DLDSR 2.25x or 1.78x at 15% sharpness + DLSS quality, when these 2 work together you get super clean imagine without any jaggies at all. Some games so blurry it hurts eyes, no idea why devs don't see it as a problem.

[@a2daj83]

ty for mentioning early on that this wont work with amd cards

[@labombaromba]

You can try custom drivers on AMD which have a setting to try and disable TAA. Key word ‘try’ because it’s kind of hit or miss. I haven’t tried it in a while but it worked on MWII leaving just the SMAA.

[@a2daj83]

@@labombaromba yeah I've seen those custom drivers, probably not something I'm willing to dive into at the moment

does this work for fortnite, or is anti-aliasing a problem for fortnite?

maybe if you change the files attributes to be read-only it may have no permissions to replace it again when verifying files.

Why would you have less FPS when AA is disabled tho.

[@FR33THY]

Because dlss sux

[@hksgaming2991]

I don't understand why it loses fps?

[@XBLXxR1fleManxX]

@@hksgaming2991 They're frame rate generation methods, but "fake frames" essentially. Weirdly enough with my AMD 7900 card, It feels better to turn upscaling/sharpening off, cuts my FPS down to 200 instead of 400+ but it feels better somehow...

[@Zancers]

I don't think the tradeoff is worth it on a low end gpu like a 2060 especially in somewhat demanding titles like warzone due to already haveing low fps.

[@Hybred]

It doesn't cost FPS (for me) if you're going from DLAA to modded DLSS, it only matters if you're using upscaling beforehand

[@peeli7]

Are you using Windows 11 now?

[@vadren94]

Are you blind?

[@alinbejinariu7906]

I don’t think it’s working anymore after the last update

[@notFleqx]

Thoughts on FSR 3.0 Frame gen? Fake fps or tangible benefit?

[@FR33THY]

one thought, or fact. more input lag.

[@lyytikainen5]

Dumb question but which is which in the benchmark?

[@abijeetrs6522]

How to minimize shimmering? I usually tweak to remove AA but the shimmering is too distracting.

[@Hybred]

That's not shimmering, that's the jittering left over from DLSS's normal TAA pass. If you want no jittering then the best thing to do is to request a native AA off option be added to the game

[@Demon29999]

pubg or apex isnt supported. :/

[@grimzlo]

I don't get it so you get worse fps and latency when you do this method?

[@FR33THY]

yea, clear image though. could depend on game engine. might be viable in some titles.

[@Hybred]

I think he might've been comparing DLSS vs this tweak, meaning hes comparing upscaling to native, instead of comparing DLAA to this method since this method forces the game to render at native, which would explain the FPS difference, but that is a more fair comparison. But I could be wrong about it. Just my guess. I didnt lose any FPS going from DLAA to modded DLSS

[@kleins0]

🐐🐐

[@Rudi-Brudi]

Personally don't like aliased edges. I just use sharpening inside the driver and it helps with visibility. It's still a great alternative for people who like it.

[@MrLupooo]

so only for NVIDIA Users or?

[@YigitCanAydinSS]

Done this in BO6 it breaks lighting

[@jdlsuper55]

I would like to know what I'm maybe doing wrong with my CPU Settings. I have a 7950X3D with a 4090. Although my AVG is 400FPS in benchmark, my GPU is comparable to yours, but my CPU Avg is like 200 FPS off. 453 to your 638. I'm 35% bottleneck compared to your 2%. I do run 1440P, but could that be the difference? I haven't done these settings yet.

[@dbeetoven]

that's crazy number, i barely have 360fps with fidelity cas benchmark in mw3

[@BarryMcCokiner47]

Mw3 thank you sir!

[@yymeiot]

does it actually help with frames ?

Can’t you use nvidia profile inspector and turn off all AA…

nope

[@MishalMm-z2q]

does this helps with fortnite or nah

[@nicholasandrews1876]

Will this work on an AMD 7900 graphics card?

[@damgam98]

How is this grainy mess meant to look better than anti aliased image? How do you quickly spot movement when every single pixel on the screen is flickering? Serious question.

[@fightingggg14]

The flickering is effectively a better outline on a characters model versus a blurry image. Not to mention if a character is flickering it’s simple to understand you’ll be seeing the moving and still target easier.

[@Hybred]

The flickering is the result of the upscaling component (game not running at native) since the upscaling component of DLSS is broken with this method. If your game supports DLAA or you can override the DLSS quality modes to native using the advanced method you can fix that flickering. I would not ever use this method if I had to use upscaling because it looks even worse imo, but some people may still prefer it and thats their preference. I dont think anyone is trying to say its objectively better just that its what they prefer and they wish proper options were added so they didnt have to resort to such workarounds.

[@gihanrx]

nice outro tho

[@mrwang420]

I mean. AA was only really to make things look higher resolution so they appear crisper on screen. So at like 1440p and 4K it's not really needed.

[@boogeyman4842]

does it work in red dead redemption 2?

[@Hybred]

Probably, but that game supports AA off. You can use FXAA + MSAA + some sharpening (if you feel like its needed). Good combo

[@YoChrisWTF.]

I’ve always been told to use fx cas only. Weird to see you using this

[@williesheridan9128]

will this work on fort?

[@Hybred]

Nope. Fort uses an ancient version of DLSS and doesnt let you update it because they want their own TSR method to appear as superior as possible, its very deliberate.
