AstrayFX VS qUINT

Yeah - right now I currently inject it via Reshade with an unlocked depth buffer + the latest version of RTGI shader with Motion Vectors. I'm also using a filter called NFAA (Normal Filter Anti Aliasing) that helps with the jaggies a lot.

There's a ReShade filter I use (called Smart_Sharp) that's able to detect motion and multiply the sharpening strength. It's not perfect as it takes a split second to catch up (that or I haven't tuned it right) but overall the effect is that'll it look just as sharp in motion as standing still. It's also aware of the depth map so I can use it ignore stuff (particularly, it ignores the gun as those don't blur when in motion)

There technically is, but since it doesn't have access to motion vectors for obvious reasons it's more akin to per-pixel motion blur which I guess you can categorize as a form of anti aliasing, but certainly not what we normally understand as TAA. The existence of such a generic post-processing shader does confuse some people and lead them to assume TAA-like things like FSR 2.0 could eventually be generically injected which of course it can't.

So Smart Sharp?

I tried installing AstrayFX but for some reason ingame (Total War Warhammer III) I can't actually find the shaders in the list.

DLAA is in the AstrayFX Depth3D respository.

Here's the shader link for now. Was on mobile when I initially replied.

Even on https://github.com/martymcmodding/qUINT , where most preset-creators link to, I can't find a download button for the life of me.

Having direct support in ENB for ReShade shader syntax would certainly be nice, as some of the stuff available for ReShade like Marty McFly's DELC Sharpen is much better looking than the commonly used ENB equivalents.

it has a cheesy outdated ReShade sharpening shader from the SweetFX era on by default, when it really should be using Marty McFly's DELC Sharpen which is so good that it literally makes all other ReShade sharpening solutions obsolete

After looking at your preset file, I'd consider maybe instead of doing "CAS -> Film Grain -> LumaSharpen", just use DELC Sharpen and simply go "DELC Sharpen -> Film Grain" instead.

If you’re using ReShade you can try the Qunit DeBand Shader out, it didn’t really do the trick for me in the past but it could help.

I've tested the sharpening filters quite a lot in the past few weeks, the Filmic Anamorphic Sharpen to my eyes is too sharp, it seems to add some kind of whiteness around objects, CAS is fine, but it doesn't sharpen much with default settings, DELC seems to be the best with its default settings.
