Supersampling and VR Scenes

Anton

I'm curious ... read a few comments where someone said supersampling in steam only effects cgi-content. Is that tru for sure? Are there maybe any (non-specialist-friendly) resources to read?

IF it's true it is way more better to go for 90fps and set down the supersampling ... instead of buying a new graphic card to reach that "200% ss" 🙂

Thank you !

Okay ... obviously it is true 🙂
I one game (Dirt Rally 2) the menue and "video scenes" are still sharp with steam 20%, only in-cockpit is pixelated

On the other hand - then I don't understand while setting the steam resolution to 150 or so (with 90hz) effects the frames at all (when it doesn't chnage anything at the resolution of the video ...)

Maybe someone reads this :-)

I don't really know anything about this subject but you seemed lonely 🙂

Surely your perception of the image quality is more important than what "should happen" ? Personally, I remember perceiving no improvements in image quality when increasing steam VR resolution in video players but appreciated the increased smoothness of higher FPS (usually 120FPS with 60FPS video).

Thanks for your thoughts (:
Of course you are right, but surely I'm biased when checking quality AFTER setting the steam resolution higher.
So I though maybe someone have a technical explanation ..like 'different render parts of gpu' or relation between ss, antialiasing and video / non cgi content
