>>345351440
If they disabled it on a console game running at 20-30 fps, even peasants would notice it and start complaining. What they should actually do is optimize console games to run at 60 in the first place. This is the reason most mustards don't fuck around with consoles.

AO makes sense in games, helps ground everthing in the scene.
On the other hand you have shit TAA which blurs a scene in motion and looks aids.
Motionblur is a hit and miss, rotational blur is stupid eg: turning in an fps game and everything blurs, on the upside you have shit like object motion blur which blurs fast moving objects which in turn does make things look realistic

Alright guys let's switch this a bit. What's the best settings in their respective fields? like AA, AO, shit like that? will help anons who have no fucking idea what AA to choose for example.

(no game has done it right; it'd take too much processing power to do strong enough temporal supersampling)
>>345353403
Well the best form of AA is a higher res, but usually MXAA is better than FXAA/MLAA

AA is a hard one, at higher res it doesnt matter much but if you are a poorfag just run fxaa or smaa x1 or something

Screen tearing aside, Vsync is the only built-in option which limits frame rate in the vast majority of PC games. Meanwhile, with no such limit on frame rate, many older games on modern PCs will run at many hundreds or thousands of frames per second, which is a waste of energy and an unnecessary source of heat, and can even harm the GPU.
You could argue that players should know how to limit the frame rate using third-party software, but that's not an excuse for so many PC games lacking a built-in user option to limit frame rate without the use of Vsync.
And don't even get me started on games which don't even have a Vsync option, let alone a frame rate limit, and thus absolutely will burn up your GPU if you don't use third-party software to fix the game. Frankly I think this should be illegal.

>>345355449
I'm not sure what graphics card he has, but AMD's frame rate limiter is just like AMD's vertical sync: It just doesn't work with the majority of games.
The vertical sync, in particular, is actually designed to work only with OpenGL games, which is why I laugh when people actually claim they've successfully forced vsync in non-OpenGL games using Catalyst Control Center. They probably just turned it on and then assumed it was working without actually checking the frame rate. Because it's a scientific fact that CCC cannot force vsync in DirectX.

Just like every other goddamn post processing effect, it's fine and can enhance visuals if used SUBTLY, but for some reason game companies and modders like to turn DoF, CA, and blur up to 11 so you can get the definitive 90 year old with cataracts looking at a 1960s tv screen experience.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersampling
>Supersampling is a spatial anti-aliasing method, i.e. a method used to remove aliasing (jagged and pixelated edges, colloquially known as "jaggies") from images rendered in computer games or other computer programs that generate imagery. Aliasing occurs because unlike real-world objects, which have continuous smooth curves and lines, a computer screen shows the viewer a large number of small squares. These pixels all have the same size, and each one has a single color. A line can only be shown as a collection of pixels, and therefore appears jagged unless it is perfectly horizontal or vertical. The aim of supersampling is to reduce this effect. Color samples are taken at several instances inside the pixel (not just at the center as normal), and an average color value is calculated. This is achieved by rendering the image at a much higher resolution than the one being displayed, then shrinking it to the desired size, using the extra pixels for calculation. The result is a downsampled image with smoother transitions from one line of pixels to another along the edges of objects.

That's not an option with newer games due to using PBR rendering.
Baked lighting information ends up looking weird, although there are ways to use ambient occlusion and cavity maps separately, but then you have the problem of needing an extra texture on every object, and games already waste enough vram as it is.

Nigga screen tearing is a result of frame overproduction. Having massive fps increases screen tearing. The lower your monitor's refresh rate, the more noticeable the tearing.

Screen tear appears when the framerate is not a multiple of the monitor's refresh rate so unless they cap it at a multiple, they will get screen tear.
