SO MANY NEW SETTINGS!
Thank you devs! I have been wanting this for so long! How do you find out what AA you should set it on tho? I never really bothered to figure that out though. I know there is none, then 2, 4, and 8. But how can you determine what you should set it on?

Though I am confused on what Color Grading and Dithering are.

And, I tried googling this, but how do you determine what to use for AA? Like, should I use FXAA or TAA, and what is the difference? And how should I determine the quality?

Choose what looks best to you, or performs best for you.

Ok. I have been playing around with these settings for a bit and I know what everything is, and what's best, but dithering has me stuck in a hole. What is it?

From what I can gather from a google search, dithering has to do with the color palette your graphics setup has to offer. I haven’t been able to log in and see the new settings myself so I can’t tell you what you should choose for your computer.

Dithering happens when your system can’t specifically show the color intended by the Devs so it starts mixing colors in order to try to duplicate the specific color as close as possible. The better or more colors or graphics card can provide the less dithering.

Oh ok, thank you!

FXAA is garbage and causes too much blur. TAA is good for things MSAA doesn't fix ( like fences or foliage) but is bad for VR.
TAA not work properly. See on objects :-/

60FPS??? Pfft!

Turn off V-sync. I'm running a GTX1080 @ 1920x1200 at all enabled/max settings and getting 95-110 FPS

You know that human eye see only 60FPS??
More than 50% of the population will benefit greatly from FPS of 45+ to 60 FPS
If you have more than 60 FPS you only benefit is: higher temperature in you PC on you CPU and GPU :P

I dont get this! Why people want more than 60 FPS?? Its stupid O.o
I make two wideon, one in 60 FPS and second in 120 FPS
No difrenece for me. Both runs the same!

This is incorrect. The human eye does not see in 'FPS', and it varies a great deal from person to person.

Most people's photon-to-motion ability to perceive flickering images as movement starts around 20FPS, hence why movies are 24. But the 'maximum' where people can perceive a difference ranges greatly per person, anywhere from 60 all the way to 200+. There is no magic number that works for everyone, but you always want higher to make sure everyone has the best experience.

For the same reason people want the more recent GPU.. it makes them feel good to have what's supposedly better even though it's possibly just BS.

For me its a waste money! When my GTX 970 stop working than maybe I try something higher. But for now my PC runs all games without problems ;-)

I "only" have a GTX 750 TI for now. It works with everything, it's just a bit slow on TW3.

Games don't technically improve that much, especially since graphics nowadays look already so good it makes you wonder what could be possibly improved further. For playing mostly indie-titles pretty much anything sold in regular MM-stores today is suitable.

Also, all that hype about "next-gen" around the release of XBO and PS4 is really just talk. True, graphics do look better compared to the previous standards, but not so much I'd consider it an innovation or revolution. It's just marketing.

GTX 970 has a design flaw where the last .5 GB of memory is super slow compared to the rest and chokes when that section of memory starts getting used. Nvidia did a driver fix to avoid this part being used, so the card has only 3.5 GB, not the advertised 4 GB. They were sued over it, had a settlement, etc etc etc.

My machine came with a 970 when I bought it, and I'll admit it ran most games without issue, it was only at reduced settings. That's why I stepped up to the 1080, along with a desire to game on my 4k tv when I was in the mood.

But if the 970 works in your rig, more power to you......until the ram gets filled past 3.5 GB and it chokes :steammocking:
