Do you like Depth of Field?

Do you like Depth of Field or do you turn it off? :3

[Docsprock]

I like it. Scenes seem more like watching film.

[Linguistically Inept]

i like it, but turn it off because my computer is a toaster

Can't stand it...not even a little. I'm not generally too picky about things like that but I really dislike the DoF.

[hawkeye]

No. The reason is the display should show an undistorted view so your eyes can do the dof themselves. I have a 27" monitor. I can only see one area of it in focus. But if I move my eyes to another area of the monitor then that area should be equally in focus. With computer generated dof, it won't be. So you will see computer dof and your own dof.

Also in the real world, dof doesn't exist. Everything is undistorted.

There's a popular rpg that actually puts dirt and rain droplets on the display and distorts the object projection as if the player is viewing the game through a cheap camera lens. But cameras weren't around in the rpg world so all it does is destroy immersion and have mods written to remove the effects.

If your system had eye tracking then maybe it could work. But why waste gpu on an unecessary effect?

No, I turn that crap off in every game, same with motion blur, I want the game to be as clear and as sharp as possible

The only time I see it now is on scripted events or prerendered videos which unfortunately I can't do anything about

I think the only reason game developers keep adding it is to block out the LOD of the distance but personally that has never bothered me

[Catfish Montana]

Always off, doesn't matter what game it is I cant stand it.

[Rafael Freeman]

In SSE I like it. In some other games I turn it off. In Skyrim SE it works really well for me in some scenes where I take in the view. I have increased the FOV and that seems to complement DOF.

[Mortuary Ben]

Very much, and it's the first game I've ever enjoyed maxing it out on. Looks nice and misty.. at least on an IPS monitor.

[Big Boom Boom]

People complain DoF break immersion, but can we see ourselves in third person in real life? Or do I need to go to Kamar Taj and learn Astral Projection?

[Bansheebutt]

A little subtle DOF is pretty nice. People like deride it for the the blurred details, but I like it for its effect of making things you're actually looking at "pop." An effect that's especially nice when you've got things written on in-game signs for example. Just makes it easier to read for me.

I do really dislike Foreground DoF though.

[stabbykitteh]

I like it, though it's a little buggy at 21:9. Happy I don't need an enb for the effect.

[Dakuwan]

I use RESHADE DoF Matso... The best...

Same here. Don't really like it in other games, but in this game it works for me.

I tried it on an good IPS monitor and a good TN monitor and it works well on both.
