Why is everything blurry?

[SenMithrarin85]

just tried the tutorial and carbuncle's fur aswell as noctis's hair is really weird. anyone else?

Probably a DoF thing...if there's one setting I mostly disable in games it's that one.

Turn off AA. FXAA and the other option blurs the textures when these settings are on. Also, the TRAM setting is used for textures. Try switching it to high if you're gpu has enough v-ram for it to work.

If I have to guess it's not running at native resolution. You may have scaling enabled through driver or the gaming itself. Or the type of anti-aliasing effect you are using. Types of occlusion can impact areas around the edges where reflection are visible. And etc.

Turn off AntiAliasing. The game looks better with it off.

I forgot to mention, you can also use reshade or other post processing effect mod to fix many of your visual woes.

First thing's first: Change "Filtering" (in Graphics Options) to Low.

That should make it noticeably less blurry.

Finally, consider turning off "Antialiasing" (in Graphics Options). This will eliminate almost ALL blurriness; however, it will also introduce jaggies (which the blurriness intended to hide).

To try and counter the jaggies you can always bump the resolution up to 125% or higher. You'll need a really powerful GPU to be able to maintain 60 FPS at that point, though.

It's to do with filtering and AA. Turn those off/to low or use lumasharpen and force x16 AF in AMD/Nvidia control panel.

Also if your resolution scaling and/or actual resolution is lower than your monitors native resolution.

People commonly play at 1080p with 125% resolution scaling
I have a 1440p monitor and don't scale and have no problems with the filters on, and how much they blur things.

Nope. Are you drunk? Sleep it over and try again tomorrow.

Everything's so blurry
And everyone's so fake
And everybody's empty
And everything is so messed up
Pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what you're doing
Imagine where you are
There's oceans in between us

But that's not very far
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well ya shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well ya shoved it in my face

For me at least resolution scaling was at 75% by default. So set that to 100% and you should be fine.

I think this is a problem that only happens with monitors with 'non-standard' resolution. What is your monitor's native resolution?

I have the same problem, and mine is 1366x768. The hair looks terrible. The only way to fix it is to display at 200% resolution, with a massive hit to the framerate. Has nothing to do with filtering and AA.

It's the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ FXAA and TAA anti aliasing, msaa is so much better.

And MSAA is largely impossible in games that use DirectX 10+.
