Nvidia FXAA vs In Game FXAA

[Sparky862]

If I disable in game FXAA and enable FXAA in Nvidia Control Panel, will it be or look better?

[Stationary Traveller]

Looks better for me.

FXAA has always been ugly to true AA imo. but it is harder on a system to use the better forms of AA. typically i just dont use FXAA and either use 2X resolution to smooth things out (takes a bit of effort but well worth it.) or i'd just not use AA.

but im on a beefy rig so i run the best settings all at max and run the game fine.

For this game, yes, by far.

Sry but enabling AA through the nvidia panel? Is that actually possible? Because whether I set Fxaa or 2x, 4x or 8x AA it does absolutely 0 in game. The only way to get it to work is as far as I know with Nvidia Inspector.

Set it for the game specifically, FXAA only makes a pretty significant difference, if you compare no AA in game, and no AA + Nvidia FXAA, you'll see it, no need for 2x or 4x in my opinion, it just blurs the image.

I did, it works on older games, but it does absolutely 0 on most of the newer titles for me. Whether it's Fxaa, 2-8x, supersampling, it does nothing. The only thing that works is DSR and some other settings.

any change in performance?

Well damn, it works for me on most games, using a 1070.

Still getting mostly 60 fps, there's a few drops, but the game never shined for its optimization.

I also use 1070 .... Not sure if it is placebo, but I also notice a huge diff. I also enable MFAA.

My image looks slightly sharper and much better

Did you choose to override the Application Settings in the Control Panel?

Both, tried enhance and override. 2x, 4x or 8x msaa does nothing.

Fxaa works, but it looks too blurry for me.

Forced MSAA only works on games that use a forward renderer. Monster Hunter, like most modern games uses a deferred renderer, thus forced MSAA doesn't work.

Edit because people like being pedantic: MSAA CAN work on a deferred renderer, it's just so hideously expensive it's not worth it. Which is probably why the nvidia driver doesn't bother trying.

I see. Always wondered why it worked in dx9 and 10 games, yet not in newer titles.

Got especially confused when people mentioned it to be working by using Nvidia Inspector, yet it wouldn't be supported on the normal driver level.
