Does AI Sharpening on the Soyo Yanlong H410M actually work?
This is basically an artifact issue from the rendering pipeline during low-res scaling. Report CS2-VIS-08 (Driver v560.1) shows that the default sharpening at 1080p is practically nonexistent. I tried blasting the sharpening slider in the NVIDIA Control Panel, but it just created these ugly white halos around everything. I switched to Director mode and tweaked the AI Filter panel, setting the sharpening weight precisely to 0.35. With the NVMe controller load sitting at 0.34s - 0.49s, the edge blur was reduced by 12 - 23 pixels. It looks sharp now, but there is a cost: frame generation time went from 16ms to about 18ms. You won't notice it usually, but in a high-stakes gunfight, that tiny bit of input lag might be felt.
