Falllout 76 Sharper Taa – How To

by

In Fallout 76, TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) is a technique used to smooth out jagged edges in the game, but it can sometimes result in a blurry image. If you want to keep TAA enabled for its anti-aliasing benefits while achieving a sharper image, you can try the following methods:

1. Enable Adaptive Sharpening

  • NVIDIA Users: If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, you can use the NVIDIA Control Panel to apply sharpening:
    1. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel.
    2. Go to Manage 3D settings.
    3. Click on the Program Settings tab.
    4. Find Fallout 76 in the dropdown list or add it manually.
    5. Scroll down to Image Sharpening and enable it.
    6. Adjust the sharpening intensity to your preference.
  • AMD Users: AMD users can enable Radeon Image Sharpening:
    1. Open Radeon Software.
    2. Go to Gaming > Global Graphics.
    3. Find Radeon Image Sharpening and enable it.
    4. Adjust the sharpness level as needed.

2. Adjust INI Files for Sharper TAA

  • You can tweak the game’s INI files to improve sharpness while using TAA:
    1. Navigate to your Documents\My Games\Fallout 76 folder.
    2. Open Fallout76Prefs.ini with a text editor like Notepad.
    3. Look for the following settings and adjust them:
      • sAntiAliasing=TAA
      • Add or modify the following lines:
        [Display]
        fTAAPostSharpen=1.0
        fTAAPostOverlay=0.0
        fTAAHighFreq=0.5
    4. Save the changes and close the file.

These adjustments help reduce the blurriness introduced by TAA while retaining the anti-aliasing effect.

3. Use Reshade for Additional Sharpening

  • Reshade is a powerful post-processing tool that can be used to further sharpen the image in Fallout 76:
    1. Download and install Reshade from its official website.
    2. During installation, select Fallout 76 and the Direct3D 10/11/12 option.
    3. Choose to download effects like AdaptiveSharpen or Lumasharpen.
    4. Launch the game, and press Shift + F2 to open the Reshade menu.
    5. Enable the sharpening effects and adjust them until you achieve your desired level of sharpness.

4. Adjust In-Game Settings

  • Sometimes tweaking in-game settings can improve the sharpness without too much compromise:
    1. Set the Resolution Scaling to 100% or higher. Lowering this setting below 100% can cause the game to appear blurrier.
    2. Increase the overall Resolution if your system can handle it, as higher resolutions naturally reduce aliasing and improve image clarity.

5. Update Graphics Drivers

  • Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date. Both NVIDIA and AMD frequently release driver updates that can include performance improvements and better support for games like Fallout 76.

By following these steps, you should be able to enjoy the benefits of TAA in Fallout 76 while also achieving a sharper, more visually pleasing image.
