DLAA and TAA makes game blurry while SMAA is not smoothing characters enough

[Bronthir]

DLAA is making my characters and a lot of textures to blur for like 0.5 seconds every time I zoom or move camera in any direction which makes the game very hard to play.

TAA is baseline unplayable - massive blur everywhere

SMAA - not blurry anymore but instead I feel like its not smoothing textures enough.

Any way to make SMAA smooth textures better? Its best from all 3 but not perfect. I have RTX 2070 Super. I tried a lot of different options with DLSS included but I didint found a solution where I could play the game with smooth textures (especially characters) and no blur.

Any ideas?:D

I actually noticed the blur with DLAA, and it happens in other games that use it as well. I don't think it's as great as some claim it to be. I usually stick with SMAA. Your best bet for jaggy edges is a higher resolution. I use 1440p and it looks pretty good most of the time with SMAA. 4k would be even better, but obviously is more demanding on hardware so that wont work with a 2070S. However, my sons PC uses a 2070S and a 1440p monitor and it looks great with decent FPS!

But with SMAA I feel like textures on my characters are not smooth enough. Like for example, with Astarion pants with DLAA I can see PANTS, everything fits well together, but with SMAA I can see like... textures making a pants, very thin white lines. Similiar with Shadowheart hair. For you SMAA works ok with characters?

Is it possible to adjust sharpening? Find that helps when AA makes things too blurry for me.

Aye you can use the fidelitysharpening slider, which should improve the pants issue Bronthir.

I tried to make sharpening even on max but it helped only with making blur dissapear from characters faster but not eliminating it. The weird thing is, DLAA makes the game blurry ONLY when moving the camera, zooming etc. If I for example let it "stay" for like 2-3 second everything will be perfect but if I move, bam, blurry again until I stop and wait again. Its blurring and clearing from blur in front of my eyes. For example, if I zoom in on my character he will be blurred for around 1s, then sharp, zoom out, blur again for 1s and sharp again and so on and so on.

if you have an RTX gpu
you can try use DLDSR i explained in this post how to enable it

You sure it may fix this blur/not blur when moving camera I described above? Because it feels like because of something the game cant smooth the surfaces on time but it should.

Use DLSS for AA set to Quality and adjust the sharpness slider for what looks best to you.

Wow, I tried a lot of combinations but this one finally works. Thank you!

There is no way DLSS looks better than DLAA with sharpening.

Yea that sounds odd. DLSS actually LOWERS the resolution to keep a steady FPS. I never use DLSS as it looks noticeably worse on my 2070s and my 3080. I actually preferred lowering some of the graphic options on Cyberpunk and other games as opposed to using DLSS when I used the 2070S. It still looked better than the DLSS just by playing around with and tweaking some settings to medium/high, and I kept it at a good FPS with a higher resolution.

I counter TAA blur with the nvidia sharpening filter by pressing ALT + F3. Running in native 4k with TAA and sharpening makes it look like its using 8xMSAA but without the performance cost and yes, it brings back all the detail in the textures too.

This.
Unless your computer is terrible and struggles to run the game at all, there is no need to ruin your image quality by using DLSS or FSR 1 in favour of extra frames in a turn based game like this.

DLAA is just DLSS without downscaling, but for some reason the game won't let you use the sharpening slider with DLAA.
I play with SMAA atm, as the blur when moving with any of the other ones just annoys me.

DLAA looks best to me by far. At least at 4K 120.

Does the original blurriness come from depth of field setting? I turn those blur effects always off so just guessing…
