    It feels weird to even try to be nice about it and bargain.

    This is you being nice?

    The issues with TAA are so widely known, I’m surprised you can be ignorant of them. People in the know generally acknowledge it, but consider it worth the downsides for efficient AA. 99% of the time the effects are much less severe than what I posted, as I had to put in effort to find a moment to illustrate what was happening to diagnose it, but once you see it you can’t unsee it.

    Essentially it’s like if I was talking about screen tearing, and you were arguing that screen tearing didn’t exist because “hundred of millions of people” weren’t experiencing it. Most people don’t even notice the screen tearing until you tell them it’s happening. The TAA blurring is even harder to spot. Also, people ARE experiencing the blurring, which is why enough people talk about it to annoy you. They also have documented evidence of the exact same thing I’m talking about, if you actually cared to look.

    To be honest I’m not convinced you’re here in good faith and not to troll me, so I’m going to block you and move on. If you actually are curious, google “what are the issues with TAA” and plenty of people will have clips just like mine taken with capture software with their specs and settings listed.

      No, there are definitely tradeoffs with TAA. Just… not extreme ghosting trails like the stuff you posted unless something is kinda glitchy. Which is where the weird layers of misinformation seem to be creeping out. You have a layer of people talking about how they find soft looking TAA images annoying and what seems to be an expanding blob of people attributing a whole bunch of other stuff to the thing as if it was the standard, which it absolutely isn’t.

      FWIW, I took a peek at that subreddit and it’s mostly relatively informed nerds obsessing over maxing out for a specific thing (edge sharpness, presumably) over anything else. I was pleasantly surprised to see they’re not as much of a cultish thing where soft edges or upscaling are anathema and instead they mostly seem interested in sharing examples of places where temporal upscaling works better/worse than TAA.

      Most of them are doing so in video so compressed it’s impossible to tell what looks better or worse at all, but hey, it’s at least not entirely delusional.
