Whats Wrong with Epic? Anti Aliasing Technology and Terrible FXAA Quality!!

I believe it’s been proved that motion blur makes the TAA ghosting significantly more apparent. I don’t have a link right now but it’s one of the million threads about TAA ghosting
the sharpening part is to fight back the overall blurryness that TAA introduces. as you say it’s a matter of taste but if you compare side by side TAA vs no AA at 1080p it’s clear that TAA blurs the entire picture, even more so than FXAA (but in a different way). what you perceive as a well-smoothed pictures other perceive as just an overall more blurry picture. I myself perceive it as something that indeed softens edges and small geometry in a superior way but also slightly blurs out the entire picture

There seems to be some ghosting in motion blur that is not TAA’s fault, but rather motion blur that introduces artifacts if the depth info and color doesn’t match perfectly. The reason this doesn’t show with FXAA is because it’s applied after motion blur, but TAA is applied before.

PS: What do you think of the comparison images above of the adaptive sharpen?
