Hi guys,

 

Since Witcher 3 offers sub par antialiasing performance in game, I wonder if forcing it through nvidia driver is any better. And I don't know what different settings do, so a little help would be appriciated. 

 

Your answers are always appriciated.

Use Reshade SMAA. Close to no performance impact.

What about FMAA?

Nvidia native driver has that option under the contol panel - 3d settings - witcher 3

You can choose it. It's supposed to have better performance than msaa for a lesser cost. I'll try it out. It's just that in my language translations are so stupid translated I can't connect them to english equivalent.. frustrating..

wut. the in-game antialiasing looks fine to me. then again, i play at 1440p. maybe mess around with sharpening setting? 

 

you can use a reshade preset like super turbo lighting mod to simulate nice SMAA antialiasing

I'm using turbo lighting. And much more. But shimmering in windows from long distances is really ugly to me.. also playin at 1440p (25inch screen)

Nvidia driver does nothing for the witcher 3. I just use the in game AA which causes a blur, but just use the sharpening setting in game along with it.

I've never had very good results from using settings in NVCP. Always found in-game settings to be better. 

 

You can try using DSR. What resolution are you currently playing the game at? If 1080p, try running it at 1440p with DSR and reduce the in-game AA settings. Should result in roughly the same performance but with better image quality as a result.

I'm runing it at 1440p. With multiple visual mods installed, I reckon this is the best I can get it. This resolution can't offer me anything more..

I would suggest then trying 4K with DSR but that might be too much for a 1070... 

 

I'm a little surprised it doesn't look good enough at native 1440p with the in-game AA options.

Yeah shimmering on the ground and distand windows.. it's way better than vanilla game tho (after modding, almost all is eliminated)

Yes. It's included in a lot of the presets made for The Witcher 3. So can SweetFX, I believe.
