@snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @mia@movsw.0x0.st oh yeah i remember people talking about how TAA became a megacrutch too.
it's part of the passes that over up framegen and scaling. i guess TAA itself can be an upscaler.
i don't have much of an issue but some people really hate it. i do think upscaling is an OK idea but god damn has it become a crutch and not a last mile helper.

@icedquinn@blob.cat @snacks@netzsphaere.xyz framegen especially is such a cope even if you get artifacts under control. cool you get 3x the framerate but now you have insufferable input lag. to which the response was to add even more copium (nvidia reflex, amd anti-lag 2, intel’s thing…) just to get frame timing closer to presentation upscaling is always kind of a shitty tradeoff. the newer ML-based approaches like FSR 4 are really quite good and have very little ghosting but they’re also heavy enough on their own that you’re often better off just lowering the graphics settings a bit, unless you prefer the flickering details in ultra performance mode over a lack of raytraced lighting
