the aliasing is borderline criminal.

I usually prefer to play racing titles sitting very close to the screen with a wheel and pedals, but I just can't with FH5. The image quality breaks down completely when you get close - it's just staircases and flickering all over.

Now I sit a couple meters away with the controller and the game looks absolutely incredible at 4k - that combination of distance and resolution makes the aliasing imperceivable.

It's the same MSAA they have always used. Not good. The only fix to it is supersampling.

What are you playing on? Looks fine on XSX for me. I don't see aliasing at all.

Console or PC?

 

[MidGenRefresh]

It desperately needs DLSS on PC.

He probably moved super close to the screen. If you're like ten inches away you'll see how aliased everything is. It surprised me tbh, because move a foot or two away and you don't see anything.

[Certinty]

Too right, it's actually shocking how much praise the visuals in this game altogether get.

It's a great looking game but given how some people overhype it you would think it's the best looking game ever made, which it isn't even close to being.

I've actually seen some people get attacked online for saying it doesn't look "next-gen" and in all honesty to an extent I completely agree.

 

[TrueLegend]

MSAA does a good job at 4x and 8x, at 2x it is criminal. They need TAA. Hopefully, in Fable they do it.

My favourite visual feature in FH5 is when my driver decides to drop six tabs of acid during a race.

 

[Fake]

This generation never step foward in the AA departament for console.

Oh.....I see it

MSAA x 4 looks good, at x8 it looks great but it can get quite taxing. TAA would be a good option as well.

 

[sncvsrtoip]

yep, game is for sure one of best looking, like my top 5 probably but aliasing on foliage is not great also visible pop up (especialy on performance mode on xsx)

 

[Markio128]

I clearly didn’t learn my lesson with FH4. FH5 looks great (though not perfect because 30fps is not ideal for racing and 60fps has really noticeable pop-in) and sounds great, but I just don’t find the racing itself engaging enough. In racing games, I really do believe less is more, because it allows you to perfect tracks and appreciate their layouts. However, with FH5 I find myself flitting from one race to another without really finding anything to shout about regarding the track layouts, or the races themselves.

Give me Ridge Racer, Project Gotham Racing, Motorstorm or Burnout for my arcade racer fix any day of the week.

Pretty much how it is with a sim rig in front of a big screen. But it works fine with other titles, especially with TAA (Dirt Rally 2 for example..) the image holds up to that scrutiny.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Supersampling + MSAA 8x

Adjusting the AA doesn't help?

I don’t think they expected many to play this game with a wheel. The game has millions of users and series compatible wheel and pedals stayed in stock the whole period of prerelease through now. That could be a factor when they decided to design it this way. When a big sim game releases it’s always hard to find dedicated peripherals and this isn’t that kind of game

 

[MightySquirrel]

@OP what game has better AA than FH5 8x MSAA ?

 

[Rickyiez]

It's quite apparent even with 4x msaa on my 34" 1440p screen. Let me try higher resolution scaling but it's gonna tax hard

I have a similar screen and I hit the best results with super sampling 3840x1600 + 4xMSAA + FXAA.

I found 8x MSAA to be too taxing on my 6900XT and 4x MSAA alone to have too much aliasing (which is kind of weird to be honest).

 

[KyoZz]

And this, deserved it's own thread?

 

[Evil Calvin]

Good lord, gamers are so fucking picky. Never fucking happy. Go play Nintendo then.

This is an issue solved long ago by many other games, and FH5 is the most prolific title at the moment, especially in terms of graphics, so it is a bit of shame ....

 

[TheStam]

Agreed Anti-aliasing is pretty bad for a 2021 title. It's been like that in every FH game. Sure 8XMSAA helps but at the same time, this series benefits so much from high frames, does a whole lot for sense of speed, that I just live with 2X or 4X on 1440p with supersampling through the driver. Performance is a lot choppier than FH4 with not being that much better looking really. Micro stutters a lot for me with unlocked frame rate, but hopefully it will get better with patches. I recall perfomance getting better a while after release in 3 and 4. AA gonna be what it is though probably.

 

[makaveli60]

Amazing game (series), amazing graphics, but yeah, in almost 2022 such an AAA game should be totally free of jaggies, even on base XBO.

 

[MightySquirrel]

M Masterbrew which game has better AA than FH5 with 8x MSAA ? [apart from the ones that uses DLSS]
