Any way to get better anti aliasing?
I tried forcing it in Nvidia inspector but it doesn't work. With Smaa 1x the game still looks noisy as hell, SMAA tx just makes it blurry

The game just has too much detail for 1080p (Which is what I'm assuming you use).
Sadly, the only way to reduce aliasing is by playing at a higher res.
I noticed a huge difference in Hunt when I switched to a 1440p monitor, the game just looks so much more crisp.

unfortunately Hunt does not really good AA tech so only thing you can do is upscale, SSAA or actually switching to a higher resolution monitor.
Hunt appears to be running on old crytek engine and does not even support newer modern graphics APIs. Hopefully some day.

Best bet is to try and use SMAA + TX1, forget 2, it's way too blury. 1x can be tolerated but it takes some getting used to. Alternatively you can do SMAA 1x and sharpening, I prefer 0.03-0.05% or else it looks cartoonishly sharpened. Just make sure you aren't on Nvidia driver 445.75 or the game probably won't start and/or crash.

If you don't mind the ripples, you could play with 1440p DSR.

I just got my LG GL83-A and I honestly can't believe how much better it looks. No more shooting at oddly textured rocks obscured by bushes for me =D

too much detail my ass lol, there are plenty other games that have better foliage ( cause it's mostly foliage ) than hunt and don't look like absolute ass with their AA, the one in hunt is just garbage.

I'd love if Crytek would just add atleast 4x MSAA. MSAA is practically ancient at this point, yet it still would be far better than any of their current AA.

how do I SSAA? Do you mean downsamping?

I actually played with 3k downsampled for a while, just the loss of borderless functionality is too much so I switched back

agree on that completely. MSAA still looks great
If you own a nvidia card, use MSAA and inside the nvidia panel enable Sharpen ( 0.65 and ignore film grain 0.30 )
im playing without MSAA just with Sharpening to see enemys better

So did you get anywhere? I've never seen a game that looks so good and bad at the same time. I'm a 1080p and it looks like turd. AA settings don't seem to do much besides bluring. Major jaggies still. I'm always suprised how people can see though cracks 'cause I struggle. tried downsampling to 1440p but it must not be working correctly. Looks pretty much the same but menus text looks worse. Also the performance hit isn't ideal.

Right now I'm just testing the suggestion of smaatx2 + nvidia panel sharpening. It seems to be working okay, it's not perfect and the image is still somewhat grainy but it's better than the default option. Downsampling to 2,3 or 4 k is the best option image wise, but whenever I do it there is some input lag involved whch I can't tolerate ( it's not caused by framerates cause they re still high and stable ) and it also makes borderless not work properly.
