Having no AA is a more visually pleasing option.

>>381374608
SMAA and TXAA are much better and thankfully most devs are starting to use those instead of fxaa. FXAA in the current year is unacceptable.

I have no idea why mouse acceleration exists but FXAA is common because deferred rendering has become so common and something like MSAA is not easily implemented.

The theory is that mouse acceleration lets you do big movements like turning 180 degrees or doing flick shots while still allowing you to track distant targets with slow movements. One of my friends swears by it, but I could never get used to it myself.

>>381378267
FXAA. You might as well wear your grandma's glasses.

>>381378267
Define "worst". With the different types of AA you're trading better image quality for higher performance cost. FXAA is basically 0 performance cost but just blurs the image. FSAA is the best quality AA but it's literally just running the game at a higher resolution so the performance cost is massive, other AAs are somewhere in between these 2.

>people bitching about fxaa

Is there a more tryhard literal non-issue? Bunch of whiny pussies.

wtf devs can't optimize shit

>>381378874
You will eat your pile of shit port and like it.

I play with three monitors, typically in wide as fuck screen 'surround/eyefinity' mode.

I run into ALL these issues game after game, because my setup is so niche. Typically, 3D games work. Anything 2D gets fucked, if they are smart they'll put black bars around the screen but sometimes they stretch.

Sometimes a good 3D game with stretch the UI or you'll have some funny thing where the UI is on the left screen but you have to mouse over where it would normally be on your main screen.

Sometimes I get weird things where running borderless full screen or something maximised offsets your ability to interact with the user interface by the width of the task bar. Like Playerunknown's Battlegrounds I play in maximised because if I do borderless I my cursor doesn't match the game's view of the cursor.

Sometimes you'll have Battlefield working perfectly and then one random screen made by the intern that went untested is unusable from 5760x1080.

I'm a master of switching my resolution and full screen/window/maximised/borderless/surround per game. Fuck!

>>381377923
It depends on the game and location.
Games with lots of dense polygonal shit like foliage looks like shit without any AA but in games with mostly man made environments and good textures no AA looks sharper and generally nicer

>Clear jaggies > blurries
I bet you're also the kind of person who'd rather play with constant tearing than vsync.

The only time clear jaggies are acceptable is if the original resolution is no more than 640x480 and upscaled using nearest neighbor. In any other situation, fuck NO.

FXAA isn't ideal but often you don't have a choice, and on the plus side it does hide garbage graphics a bit, and since sharp graphics pretty much always look like computery garbage unless extremely stylized, I don't really mind it.

>>381381215

Keep your hand over WASD and have full access to your number keys with your right thumb.

They designed it for MMOs but it is perfect for shooters.

Maybe the game had to load files that are only loaded with the new settings for optimization purposes.

>>381370873
FXAA exists to make jagged edges better by blurring them, while having low performance impact.
Mouse acceleration exists so that low dpi mice can quickly reach far parts of the screen.

>>381384419

>>381387219
Borderless helps with screen tearing and lets you alt tab with ease.
Fullscreen has less input lag.

>>381387219
Funny thing about Windows: it has vsync on by default I think.

So setting games to VSync off and Borderless makes them typically run well for me. But if you double dip into VSync then it wouldn't work as well.

Lots of games had severe improvements on my PC for being borderless, unlike what you'd expect.

>>381370873
FXAA is good for people with potatoes who want some form of anti-aliasing. Its performance impact is pretty small but it doesn't provide any extra information that is lost in the sampling process (like MSAA, CSAA and SSAA do). It does have its uses.

>>381374284
At least one of the last two problems is present in literally every Unity game and I mean that in the actual sense of literally, you either have fullscreen as borderless windowed or exclusive but your game can never have both.

>>381387219
I've never come across a game that ran better in borderless, but plenty of cases where exclusive fullscreen yielded 5+ higher fps (Witcher 3 and Mankind Divided off the top of my head.)

>>381374608
>Seriously FXAA makes all games look like blurry shit
Thats because FXAA is a post-processing method that literally uses blurring to disguise jagged edges in noise.

>>381387754
Why is that? I have never once played a unity game that isn't just borderless windowed mode.

>>381387851
It makes more sense for things to run better in fullscreen but sometimes computer configs are fucked, like mine, where it is backwards.

>>381376924
If TXAA/TAA is bad then what the hell are devs supposed to use on deferred rendering these days?

Nobody seems to have a good write-up on how to implement id's beautiful TSSAA so we're left with SMAA and the atrocious FXAA since MSAA doesn't work on deferred.

>>381388110
>TSSAA
TSAA=TAA+SSAA

>>381387978
When you're in the game's build options as a developer, you get to choose whether fullscreen mode means exclusive or borderless windowed, I think most devs go for borderless windowed.

>>381371423
Some games actually combine Bloom and HDR into one setting.

Don't have a noose wide enough for all the devs.
