Don't worry, i will load up Piccadilly as well with RT 'on' just to keep you happy 
Was referring to the AMD SAM feature, i think it will do really well in certain AAA titles to keep the minimums up. As will, most likely, the Nvidia version of it, when it appears.

As I'm trying to decide between and Nvidia or AMD GPU, I've recently been playing about with further settings in the drivers packages.
Not sure if it's just my eyes but with my Vega 56 the image feels more vibrant compared to my rtx2060 into the same monitor?
Also enabling image sharpening on both, I've noticed the 2060 takes a big hit of nearly a quarter of the FPS. I don't notice this on the Vega.
Switched ray tracing on to see what it would look like in the game I play most and couldn't really tell much difference. In fact it took the same hit as image sharpening, maybe a little more.

Wait till ECH and Grim get to read this!
Apparently it’s the other way around this time. Ampere has more saturated colours than RDNA/2
I like the idea of raytracing but if it's giving big hits to a game for it, I don't really have much interest. To be honest, I'm more interested in the image sharpening now and to my eyes, the AMD feels smoother and cleaner.
It feels like Nvidia is microstuttering with it enabled but unsure if I done it wrong.
Hmm that's interesting. I'll have to look into that further!

I used it permanently on my vega. The Radeon software was actually better than people give it a hard time for. Nvidia could do with having a proper interface and catch up on a decade of same old.
This is subjective, or maybe not, it keeps getting said and i too notice a vibrancy difference, AMD's image quality always looks better to my eyes.
I have not noticed a performance difference to that degree but then i don't use Nvidia's version of Image sharpening, it makes little difference to the image quality comparatively to Radeon Image Sharpening which i did use all the time when i had the 5700XT, the difference between on and off is very noticeable and it looks great.
Nvidia Image Sharpening is also buggy, has been for a long time. There is affecting is some Desktop applications, like Quixel Bridge for example, this odd shimmering around edges is also in some games, it looks horrible.

On the note for image sharpening I am actually seeing the same issue from AMD with the 5700xt when it is on. I have gone back to it off as it looks bad with AMD in my view too after having played with the settings a bit.
Nah, they should just call it G-spot as it's the Geforce Super Performing Outstanding Transfer system with the added benefit tha you get a little tingle when you turn it on
That made me laugh far too much
Don't turn it up so high. This is very different to that, this is corruption around edges, its not supposed to do that.
Why don't you just toggle image sharpening on, on a per application basis rather than globally?
I actually enable it globally as i like the effect it has in Edge Chromium.
Same, just turn it on and forget about it.Why don't you just toggle image sharpening on, on a per application basis rather than globally?

I've left it on on my Vega now. It feels like it's given the image a whole step up. I'm liking it and wish I knew about it sooner haha. Agree with the interface for Nvidia, it was a bit of. A nuisance to navigate but again probably due to not using it much.

Hmm maybe that's where I'm seeing fault then, whilst it looks ok in the same location, when moving about, something feels off and I can't quite pinpoint it. Pity as I think I'm more interested in a sharper image now compared to raytracing.
Yea, seeing my self in a puddle is one thing but to me at least making the whole image more crisp, making all the fine detail that's normally blurry crisp is far more interesting, its like the difference between running 1080P vs 4K.
RT when used intelligently is good, Global illumination when used properly adds 100x more to the Graphics than reflections, current RT cards are quite capable of that, i don't need to see a perfect reflection of my self, not at 40 FPS.
Can see it even at 20% same text issue both on windows and in game so leave it off.

It is noticeable on any text in game UI or on windows. And looks absolutely awful in browser, not sure how you are possibly even reading the text with it on tbh.
Never had that when i had the card, i tuned it on and forgot about it, Games and Quixel Bridge never had any of that artifacting, can you show be an example of it?
here. https://quixel.com/bridge It matters to me because i am looking to change the GPU again.
