SSAO ?

[WeylandYutani]

Default or HDAO ?

Normally the last setting is the best but im wondering about the word default or standard against HDAO on this setting and what is the better one. If standard means default SSAO then HDAO is surely the better option but who knows ?

[WeylandYutani]

Im on Nvidia and HDAO isnt an AMD tech, its only because AMD had DX11 first but that doesnt mean its an AMD technology or owned and or only working on AMD to clarify this =)

Anyway what looks better in this Game, my Screenshots dont work so i cant compare it.

He didn't say that 'High Definition Ambient Occlusion'(HDAO) is an AMD tech. What he said is sound however, HBAO performs worse on AMD cards than it does on Nvidia. AMD seems to prefer HDAO and Nvidia prefers HBAO. It has very little to do who got DX11 working first.

I know that he didnt say that and AMD saws that different at this time but again nevermind what i really need to know is what looks better of them in Alien Isolation because its impossoble for me to compare them atm and there are nor tests out yet.

Why not decide for yourself and choose either option and compare? If you can't see the difference, there's not really a point in choosing one option over the other, is there?

[WeylandYutani]

I cant see a difference because i cant do screenshots at the moment and switching the option ingame makes my game crash and most people wouldnt see a difference if they need to restart the whole game again and again.

[SacreBleu]

If you can't see a difference between the two options, whether you have to restart or not, does it really matter? If I'd say, right now, that 'standard' is the best option. You'd be none the wiser. You don't see the difference, so there clearly is no night and day difference between the two options. And, frankly, there is non.

Altering the video settings doesn't seem to actually do anything in-game. The anti-aliasing, no matter the setting, looks like complete garbage. Like its not actualy functioning.

I'm starting to doubt that any real changes are taking place.

EDIT - Time to open up Nvidia Inspector.

[WeylandYutani]

Maybe, i thought the same about Anti Aliasing, also Downsampling doesnt seem to work very well with this Game, it doesnt reduce the Aliasing that much. Normally Temporal SMAA does its job very well, many People start to complain over different Forums because of the jaggyness.

[DetCord12B]

It's really bad.

I tried several settings in Nvidia Inspector and nothing worked.

What good is asking other people's opinion, if you don't accept what has already been given to you? Are you asking this question and hope to hear an answer you have already chosen or will you just accept that there is not clear difference between the standard setting and HDAO in this game?

Needs MSAA pretty badly.

Again, it doesn't matter. Altering the settings has no noticable impact on the game.

If you dont recognize that you only discussed (and dont stoped) to why the change even matters and why it is so important then what should i say ? I dont asked for opinions, i asked a question what needed an answer not opinions, you know facts not thoughts.

For Nvidia i think we need an working AA Flag first but the bigger issue is the low LOD Detail with its really short range what seems that this looks more like a bug as intened.
