RD2 vs GTA5

[MarcOwaR]

Is i the same engine?
In GTA 5, I can't play due to the flickering of the bad anti-aliasing. Even maxed out, it's disgusting, rendering the game unplayable (for me).
Does RD2 suffer from the same problem or do lines look like lines?

Not that it matters. Engines get updated and changed all the time. Your problem may not exists in RDR2. Though, it's not really a problem in GTAV either, not sure why you're having it.

idk about the engines used.
it really depends on how its set up.
i've seen the flicker before in rdr2 depending on which settings i use.
so it can happen and all builds/rigs are different.
my rdr2 runs smooth. but i did have to calibrate it properly to get it that way.
which i was able to do with what options are available in the graphics menu.
but for some people it's more complicated than that.
so you won't know until you try.

when i first booted it was choppy af. and that was due to the tree tessellation setting.
which scared me off the break, cause i was like "wth.. this game chops.."
then i disabled that, and it ran incredibly smooth, ultra'd out.
then i had problems with the sharpening levels and ghost lines..
then i tweaked it and got the flickers.. like you experience.
then i tweaked it more and got it cinematic smooth for my build/rig.
now i just boot it up, and it's smooth every time. 0 problems.

i've changed out 3 monitors with it, and they're all different.
on this monitor the games fine. on my other 1, it's so bad i wont play vidya with it.

also this game is weird with audio ports.
on 1 of my audio ports that is normally fine with everything, this game crackles.
luckily i have 3 different green audio ports and i swap to one that sounds fine.
if i only had 1, it would be a very upsetting experience unless i was deaf.

all in all, game was good. 9/10
one of the best vidyas in the past 10 years.

i have seen that flickering you speak of, and it drives me crazy too.
somehow, it runs fine with me. and i figured out how to stop it.
i dont remember what it was, i haven't messed with the graphics in this game in 2+ years, besides swapping resolutions/monitors.
my eyes are sensitive to monitor refresh rates, and my eye muscles pulsate with refresh rates.
i keep my monitors in nightmode/red spectrum to alleviate it.

if i go into night time darkness rl, i see monitor refresh rate pulsations with my eye muscles and it drives me crazy.

monitors, televisions and cellphone screens are used to brainwash people with how they pulsate.

sorry for long post, i'm drinking coffee and it makes me type too much.

You can always refund the game if you've played less than 2 hours so if I were you, I'd buy it and test it myself. Though, you should wait until it's on sale since it happens fairly regularly.

On my PC GTA5 is flickering but RDR2 is the smoothest and most beautiful game I have ever played.
It’s a state of the art game, amazing !

Same engine as Rockstar Table Tennis, GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption and GTA 5. Of course they keep improving the engine. What GPU do you have? Sounds pretty strange if GTA V is "flickering" for you.

I believe you mean "bad aliasing"?

At any rate, unfortunately GTAV, like all Deferred Rendering games, has broken MSAA. That means that instead of working perfectly with zero blur and only a modest framerate hit, it only partially works and on top of that has a huge framerate hit.

Only true anti-aliasing will get rid of jaggies without blurring and also improve detail. This means either MSAA or Full-Screen AA (Frame scaling, DSR, etc.). At the end of the day, if you can't enable enough true AA and still achieve your target framerate, it means you need a more powerful GPU.

I played GTAV on a CRT with a 980 Ti. At these settings:

1920 x 1440
4x MSAA
Frame Scaling OFF

...I was able to get an acceptable image that never dropped below 50 fps (I set my refresh rate to 50 Hz so I could get smooth VSync-locked motion).

It all comes down to GPU power. GPUs aren't just about resolution --- GPU power can be used for higher resolution, higher framerates, better graphics, more anti-aliasing, or any combination of those.

yeah. i have a literal sub 90 written verbal iq irl. 0 larp.
you should see my hand writing if you think that is bad.
