So... they messed up super sampling today

[Enrogue]

Now with AMD FSR 1.0 you can no longer see the sampling rate, just an obscure setting for it, and you can't adjust the sharpening rate anymore. WTH?!? Is this... intentional?!?

Fdev please fix it. This is way worse than the way it was! It's way too vague the way it's now... what do those values even represent, what rate corresponds with what value?

I seriously wonder why on earth would they even do this...

have you mentioned this in the relevant update 6 thread?

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 6

Second launch then exit was clean! Now, Colonia beckons - and eager to see the new icy bodies. Like others who have commented, you are a true breath of fresh air for them & me, Sally! Pass a 'thumbs up' to the Dev team too, please. (y)

@sallymorganmoore is (once again) doing a sterling job at responding to issues

Supersampling: Add the separate setting back. Also get rid off the vague attributes and put back the numerical rates.

For crying out loud...

If you'll click on the link I posted above, it would appear that AMD made the recommendation.

Yea I saw that. A bad move, still. Btw can't even select the balanced setting even though it's there but it won't get selected. Omg...

Then perhaps your ire is misaligned. Maybe hop over to AMD's forum and have a whinge?

I disagree. Fdev supposedly has their own mind to their product as far as I see.

Fair enough. Carry on, then.

Back in my day you set your game resolution to match your monitor. Same goes with framerate.

You kids and your sub / super / faux sampling

According to a certain article on Tom's hardware, there are supposed to be 4 settings: Ultra Quality, Quality, Balanced and Performance. Ultra Quality uses a 1.3x scaling factor, while Quality uses 1.5x scaling, Balanced uses 1.7x scaling, and Performance uses 2.0x scaling.

In terms of the usual EDO supersampling settings that would be 0.75 as Ultra Quality, 0.65 for Quality, 0.60 for Balanced and 0.50 for Performance.

I also find the Quality setting a tad too low. I think we're just missing the Ultra Quality setting there...

Here's the article I'm referencing:
What Is AMD FSR? FidelityFX Super Resolution Explained

EDIT: I'm super stupid, the Ultra Quality is there. I overlooked it the first time for some reason. So yea, that's much better now, haha

They are following AMD guidelines.

Doesnnae matter. DOOOOOOOM.

And then people would be complaining loudly if FDev didn't follow AMD guidelines!

Haha, some, maybe. But most see what they see and act on it. Seriously, who cares about AMD guidelines? What matters is how the game looks and runs.

WhIke I agree the naming settings are vague here is AMDs own settings/naming

Thanks for that, much appreciated!

Don't get me started, I can remember DOS and autobat exe files. Those were the days, no plug and play. They don't know there born today.

Back in your days, monitors didn't have an intrinsic resolution. And no, the resolution wasn't defined by the shadow mask - although the useable resolution may have been limited by it in some high end displays.
And yes, you could physically destroy (with occasionally very intersting side effects) a display by attempting to run it on a resolution it couldn't handle - or, even worse, rapidly switch between resolutions.

Do you remember these:

With a 980M at 1080p i have the impression i was better off with SS 0.85 and CAS rather than FSR Ultra quality, but i can't confirm it
