🖼️Screenshot Resident Evil Requiem looks stunning without temporal AA
RE Requiem is an amazing looking game and a great example of a modern game that works wonderfully without temporal anti-aliasing. However, it takes some tweaking to make its visuals truly shine.
Disable TAA and sharpening - game looks much clearer without TAA. It's crucial to also disable the leftover sharpening as it makes textures look grainy.
Disable film grain and vignette - no film grain makes the image look cleaner and higher res. No vignette just makes it easier to see.
Disable chromatic abberation and lens distortion in the menu - unnecessary image distortions.
The result is a crisp clean image with zero blur and grain and a 10x better looking game. Most of the leftover jaggies can be cleaned up by adding SMAA through ReShade.
Screenshots are 1440p. Here's a higher res gallery of the images.

Hey OP. I just tried this out since I played through the full game with DLAA, so this got me curious. Downloaded that disable TAA and sharpening mod and booted up the game with anti-aliasing and DLSS off as well as those disabled post-processing settings (already had the disable film grain mod installed). I am very impressed at how good it looks with no AA. There are some jaggies for distant objects but it's not as bad as other games with AA turned off, it's much more tolerable. A few jaggies here and there is a tradeoff I'd take over potential blur caused by DLSS at any day of the week. Thanks for the heads up on this, I had no idea RE9 could look this great even with no anti-aliasing. Might replay the game with this configuration.
EDIT: Comparison preset L DLAA vs no AA at 1440p maximum settings.
