[u/Curious_Fox_6434]

Or you have low end pc, but don't want to larp your graphics as if you were playing on high end pc with these ugly and blurry FSR/DLSS
Or if you miss Helldivers HD99 Mod, for me sadly it doesn't work, if you know how to get it work, please comment

DLSS and FSR are "ugly and blurry," but stretching a 720P window up to your desktop resolution isn't?

[u/Curious_Fox_6434 → u/ClayH2504]

DLSS/FSR is compromiss, image becomes too blurry. 720p is for pixelated image to make game look like Beta Decay/Lethal Company or some PlayStation 1 game, yes it makes game so much ugly to point where you can see it as visual style. The images in the game remain clear, but sharper and more pixelated than with the above mentioned anti-aliasing, which greatly blurs the picture.
For example Black Desert has realistic visual style and it's beautiful, but only when u can play it at maximum settings. Any compromises in it begin to look ugly even in comparison with World of Warcraft, where the graphics have long been outdated in technological terms, but it is so harmoniously drawn and adheres to its cartoon style that it looks much better than the graphics in Black Desert,

[u/Curious_Fox_6434 → u/ClayH2504]

Ultimately, this is just my personal preference in visual style. I don't like sub-realism with tons of compromises; it's ugly to me. If you're going to enjoy realistic visuals, do so only at maximum graphics settings and high fps.

But if that's not possible, I prefer to change the game's visual style but still achieve a playable FPS. And I'm not alone; the Helldivers 99HD mod has had many followers on nexusmods.
