    Huh.

    All this time, I thought Dino Crisis was a game like Time Crisis, a lightgun game.

    I was wondering why the estimate was 1 hr 25 min for this!

    The bullets are mostly from the anime girls trying to keep creeper hands at bay.

    You can pick a rendering resolution and an upscale resolution, so it wont work the card so hard but will provide some added sharpness and detail for a lot less of a performance hit (but not quite as good looking a result)

    Opposite. Render a smaller picture then make it bigger, i.e. upscaling in-engine.

    Here's a full screenshot of it, spoilered for 1440p lolhuge

    Also I really hope independent resolution scaling becomes a standard thing in games. Heck, Operation Flashpoint did it in 2001.

    So jrx means the opposite but doing what you said is called supersampling and it produces graphics that actually look outstanding. The reason is because half the pixels aren't thrown away, they're averaged together, so they all still contribute. This is how you do genuine antialiasing.

    Textures look a lot cleaner and more detailed, late render pass effects like outlines or other HUD effects take on a high quality almost pre-rerendered. Text becomes way easier to read and anisotropic filtering problems vanish. In VR it's almost mandatory to reduce the appearance of jagged or shimmering artifacts.

    Arma 3 looks goddamn amazing with supersampling.

    Assuming you have the quantum computer from the 24th century to run it at a decent framerate.

    Oh yeah, trees, grass and foliage in games benefit the most from supersampling because they're generally rendered with techniques that are incompatable with classic antialias shortcuts. That's why plants always look so crunchy in games. Supersampling totally fixes it, but the cost is really high.

    And yeah brown and bleak battle sims with huge 3D worlds full of scrubby plants, where you are often focusing on tiny little 5 pixel tall mans a mile away, games like ARMA and PubG, etc, benefit most of all.

    Arma 3 can actually be pretty amazingly colorful. Sure, grass is pretty brownish since it's set in Totally Not Greece, but the weather effects are amazing.

    Adding a motion sensor to the bathroom light was a very good choice, especially since it's dimmed at late hours.
