Hi everybody, I just bought RDR for PC and so far it has been great. The age does show, though, and I started wondering if I should try to apply DLSS or FSR simply in order to blur the sharp edges a bit. Im playing on a 4070 Super, so i can max out all the settings with no sweat, but Im starting to think less is more, so the stiffness of the relatively low poly faces doesn't stand out so much. (It is still fine. I remember playing Half Life and Morrowind 20+ years ago. RDR looks fine, we are in the fine tuning territory). I'll probably have to do some tweaking and can return with my thoughts on the results.
Does the PC port support a built-in DLSS version? If yes, then enabling the DLAA option could be beneficial—it renders at full native resolution without upscaling and only applies anti-aliasing. If not, skip it since the interface will suffer, and any visual improvements on text will be negated by the poorer UI quality.
When a DLSS feature is available, it means the implementation is native. For best results, use the highest DLSS setting, or opt for DLAA if it's offered as an alternative.
Thanks for the advice. I had never heard of DLAA so i didn't figure it was an option. I've activated it now and, maybe it has an effect. It may be placebo effect though. Ive added a few screenshots. The first pictures (noted "1") are with no DLAA, and the second set (noted "2") is with DLAA. I sense a very minor change / added softness. Well, this was a fun little exercise. I'll keep playing around with the settings, but I guess there is only so much this tech can do for so old a game. Anyway, im off to play cowboy. Thanks for the input y'all!
In the end it's just AA. It won't significantly improve character models, but it does help eliminate rough edges. Honestly, I don’t notice much difference on my 24" 1080p monitors versus my 42" 4K screen at home. What matters is a small amount of AA to reduce most aliasing issues—whether they're FXAA, TAA, or DLAA doesn't really matter. But DLAA remains the top choice for Nvidia users.
Sure, I'm diving into the vibe of early 2010s and concentrating on the narrative. It was a fun experiment to explore removing some sharpness. I'm curious about trying a softer look—could it really enhance the feel? Definitely worth considering someday.
