What graphics settings are you using in WoWs and your graphics card [April 2022 Edition] ?

Hi all,

 

What graphics settings are you using in WoWs and your graphics card [April 2022 Edition] ?

 

 

In light of recent changes and the WG article about settings in general:

 

"Game Settings Explained"

https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/game-guides/game-settings-explained/

 

 

"Forum discussion"

 

 

Sample image from WG post:

 

 

 

BTW, what is very strage - I am interested in why are the various Anti-Aliasing modes not mutual exclusive?

 

In other words why user can select several Anti-Aliasing modes at same time !?!?

P.S.

I had similar thread almost a year ago:

RTX 2070 Super and let Geforce Experience sort it all out.

No, but I have locked my framerate to 116 fps in the "preferences.xml" file since I use a Gsync monitor at 120hz

AFAIK the "nVidia GeForce Experience" is not aware of new WoWs settings (even in latest version from yesterday)...

 

Also I find it rather strange that it recommends mixing of Anti-Aliasing settings...

Thanks!

 

BTW, I couldn't help not to notice that you run ALL Anti-Aliasing options at the same time...

Pretty much max on an RTX 2060 laptop (6GB) with an i7-10750H CPU + 16GB RAM.

I can run at higher frame rate, by editing preferences.xml, but things tend to get a bit hot.

Yep, just updated driver and it will not optimise 😔

I set it to maximum and never changed anything manually. I had to turn off FreeySync in the AMD software explicitly for WoWs since it would sometimes cause flickering. Only game with that problem so far.

The Amd FSR 1.0 actually seems to make it look worse imo so left it off.

Cheers.

Out of interest , how are you finding the card? Any issues?

[SkipperCH]

She does her job. Upgraded from a RTX 2080ti in order to play CP2077 at maximum settings. Which the former just couldn't produce. And with a RTX3090 costing around 4.000€ at the time of buying the AMD was the logical choice.

Also you don't need the AMD FSR (it just runs WoWs on lower resolution that selected and then it upscales the whole  image - this is only for extreme resolutions or running on very low end machines)!

The AMD FSR is not needed in most cases (it just runs WoWs on lower resolution than selected and then it upscales the whole image - this is only for extreme resolutions or running on very low end machines)!

To those who run TXAA in combination with MSAA and FXAA: don't do it!

TXAA is a budget combination of MSAA plus FXAA. Means you put more stress on your GPU without actually improving the image. MSAA is a real Anti-aliasing while FXAA is a post-processed Anti-Aliasing - actually it just blurs the image without improving anything after the image was rendered. Edges appear less jagged because they are blurred. If you run MSAA you actually don't need FXAA and certainly not TXAA because MSAA is kinda the big brother of TXAA. TXAA was invented for low-end GPUs that are too weak to run MSAA or SSAA.

 

UPDATE

Recommended settings

• Old and weak low-end GPU: TXAA on, MXAA off, FXAA off
• Good low-end to mid-range GPU: TXAA off, MSAA 2x or 4x, FXAA low or medium
• Good mid-range to high-end: TXAA off, MSAA 4x or 8x, FXAA off or low

 

FXAA is a post-processing AA that is applied to the image after it got rendered and is sent to the screen. It simply blurs the image to create the illusion to the human eye of a smoother image. The higher the setting the blurrier the outcome. It is personal preference how blurry one likes it. FXAA has virtually no impact on performance or FPS.

Again, TXAA is a modern technique that combines a Lidl version of MSAA with embedded FXAA, that's why it makes zero sense to enable them all. No idea why this is possible in WoWs in first place.

Good manners! I hope my post counts as polite and constructive.
