Flickering on hair and beard
Hello everyone, I have an issue on beard and hair as i said on the title. I started to play this game for like 2 weeks and I realized that 1 week later. Don't know whether the problem exists from the first time ever or It happened on a certain point. It really bothers to see that problem while ı tried to play. I tried the dlss quality settings but sadly ı have 1080p 27inch monitor so it doesn't give quite good results. I don't experience this problem on other games. When I've searched about the problem, I saw other people with the same problem. Ive tried to change settings in-game and nothing seems works for now. The interesting part is that when I open the game today and I see it is worse now and I didnt change any ♥♥♥♥.

I love the game but this problem is killing all my intention to play this game.

Hope you all good day and thank you for reading.

If you have the resources (horsepower) change FXAA and TAA to 2x - as per this recent thread:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1174180/discussions/0/3414304680791197878/

It removed everything undesirable - and also took half my fps from 60 down to 30.
I decided to live with any hair and beard anomalies.

You may have more horsepower in that area than I do.

Firstly, thank you for your reply. I don'k know how to set FXAA and TAA to 2x on In-game menu because there is only options like medium high for TAA and on off for FXAA. But I've tried to turn on FXAA and sadly nothing changed :/

Well, let's shoot that spotlight at a cloud and summon The Caped Crusader to the scene:

The issue is not your monitor. That's just how those effects render in these games.

In the case of RDR2, it uses a checkerboard dither pattern for transparencies due to it using a deferred renderer and being unable to render "proper" transparencies.

Rockstar added MSAA to counter this, as it enables alpha to coverage and remedies most of these checkerboard artifacts you see on hair and foliage. It's a misconception people have that you have to use MSAA or TAA only, as MSAA is meant to be used WITH Taa to produce the best possible image quality (other than DLSS) but at the cost of performance .

Edit 2: If you can enable DLSS+MSAA, do it, since it should provide superior image quality to TAA while being cheaper. I don't have an Nvidia GPU I don't know if that is possible.

He's probably got his feet propped up on Bat Poop Encrusted Electronics, looking to get out of the cave for a while...
