A new The Witcher 3 that brings improvements for anti-aliasing has been released online recently.
The new mod, which can only be used by NVIDIA users, uses a combination of in-game anti-aliasing with NVIDIA FXAA and ReShade depth-based SMAA. The improvements are not massive, but they are definitely noticeable.
Was fiddling around and was kind of tired of constant aliasing and shimmering in Witcher 3 even using SMAA from Reshade. Although overall result is crisp, but it still has a lot of shimmering and aliasing left. When searching google I was unable to find optimal solution for me, so I started to experiment a bit and found interesting combination. It combines in-game anti-aliasing with Nvidia FXAA and Reshade depth based SMAA. On top of it using in-game sharpening on Low and some additional Lumasharpen filter from Reshade I managed to find a solution that makes Witcher 3 more smooth (more modern looking) without sacrificing too much clarity. I hate blurry anti-aliasing as it gives me eye strain and also makes everything smudgy.
More information on the new The Witcher 3 mod can be found on Nexus Mods.
