Play this game using SMAA anti-aliasing instead of the default TAA
TAA blurs the whole image while SMAA keeps it crisp and beautiful. Seriously, the difference is like night and day.

TAA literally adds interframe blurring even if you have motion blur off, its absolute garbage.

SMAA has some horrible jaggies. TAA is blurry but at least i dont see pixels sparkling everywhere

Hair on smaa looks terrible but other than that looks so much better than taa.

No it's not. TAA is absolutely horrifying. It's like the screen is smeared in vaseline. It's so blurry that my eyes hurt.

I'll take few sparkles over 40% quality loss.

I use TAA in everything. Especially if it has dynamic resolution.

You shouldn't. In most games TAA doesn't work properly. It f's up the visuals.

I had massive issues with "ghosting" with TAA - switched to SMAA and it was completely gone.
Didn't record it, but found a video showing the effect in another game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SsCyI5T3HY

It was absolutely horrid.

Marvel's Avengers is the first game I've ever noticed this happening in - but then again; I usually don't check AA settings if everything is "peachy", so to speak.

I haven't tried it myself with this game, but I'd also suggest giving a try to ReShade's "AdaptiveSharpen" effect, and maybe trying combinations of that and either TAA or SMAA

a lot of this game is built around taa so a lot of objects will look off without it
BarDocK Sep 4, 2020 @ 6:29pm 
maybe try taa + sharpening ?

Thanks OP, with my setup the game look much more nice with smaa on then TAA
Woltaire Sep 4, 2020 @ 6:58pm 
Thanks for this. I felt like the game was a bit blurry. This just confirms it. I'll try it out.

TAA kicks @ss at couch-TV distance. No f*cking jaggies. I can handle slight softness. I cannot handle jaggies. Nothing destroys immersion and reminds me I'm playing a video game like jaggies.
