Yeah, that doesn't prove anything because you haven't taken the screenshot with an external, hardware tool that is recording what's on your screen. Instead you've used a software that is putting out whatever is in your buffer. The think about TAA is: It's using and sampling information of consecutive "pictures". That information is missing in your capture and therefore an incorrect representation of TAA.
Pictures taken with tools like Shadowplay, Fraps, Afterburner etc always make TAA look worse then it is because of this.
To really check the difference you'd have to compare two videos. One with and one without TAA, both without compression.
So I'll throw in my two cents.

The whole game doesn't look very thrilling in the first place.
Has nothing to do with everything being blue, the whole atmosphere is gone if you turn it off, even fog. From the rockpapershotgun article:
volume rendering quality off
volume rendering quality high
"atmosphere"
I want to see more examples of Volume Rendering outside of the fog in the starting area.
You could argue one way or the other about how that fog looks good/bad, but am I going to be missing out on cool effects in later areas if I turn it off?

volume rendering quality high
I've seen shitty reshade presets with better IQ than this thing, that's not atmospheric, that's whitish and unreallistic as fuck.
I used my eyes ingame. It looks identical to the shot taken from Afterburner. This was the reason I responded, because I knew TAA barely did anything. Went to get screenshots after reading your post.
Test yourself. If you get different results, then it's clear the implementation is broken in some way. Also, they are lossless PNG
I haven't seen any difference between the options. Low to High all look identical. It only changes when switched off.
HDR is still off in my config.ini file while 64bit is enabled.
I've not actually tried enabling it because, well, I don't have an HDR display!
Anyone able to test this?

Using ultrawide screen in full and windowed. I've played in 1080p and 2560x1440p. Both make my card go crazy. I may downgrade the driver.
So im not sure if a setting effects it but does it look like the rain only renders like a foot away from your character? Its kinda like there is a rain cloud above my character and my character alone.
I've not updated my drivers in several versions, but overall I'm getting acceptable performance: 60 fps with the occasional 1-5 fps drop when the GPU goes over budget. Overall not really perceptible with Gsync.
Graphics settings:
Resolution set to 3440x1440 (so really rendering 2560x1440 with pillarboxing)
'Resolution Scaling' set to 'High'
Framerate cap disabled in-game, 60 fps cap enabled via RTSS
All settings maxed except for the 'Volume Rendering' set to 'Off' and 'SH Diffuse Quality' set to 'Mid'
Hardware:
GTX 1080 8GB
i5-8400 @ 3.8 GHz
Installed on an SSD
32 GB DDR4
Honestly I thought I would be in the camp of having Volume Rendering on, but after playing for a few hours I really prefer the way the game looks with it off. It's not just the blue tint that everything gets, but all of the fog seems too bright for my tastes, and the game looks a bit washed out as a result.

No it doesn't, but if you want to it look similar. Fine with me.
Yeah it looks better/sharper on my One X, probably the textures or the X supersampling down to 1080p. It runs waaaaaaay better now though, a joy to play. Couldn't stand the fluctuating framerate on my Xbone.
Also want to chime in on the AA options being rubbish, first I thought it was my monitor ghosting...
Thank you so much for this. I couldn't understand why my Steam in game FPS counter wasn't showing up. It was exactly this. Now I can commence tweaking.
Absolutely not. Pushed my game at least 10-15 FPS at all times. I used to be at 45 max on the city now it hovers around 60. I get 50 in the ancient forest with drops and 55-60 everywhere else. ItsI 100% not placebo.

Didn't see any significant differences between the two drivers. This was on 970/4690k/16gb ram. Went back a second time to test in a different area. Same thing.
Would be interested to see some of the people who rolled back their drivers update them to the latest version again to check if performance benefits persist or not.

I just downgraded to that myself and also got a performance increase, but part of the process was using that Display Driver Uninstaller program, which might have been the actual cause rather than the older driver. Unfortunately my constant hitching/freezing issue, which had fixed itself last night, came back in full force making the game borderline unplayable. I'm going to try uninstalling the old driver and reinstalling the new one to see what the difference is with the DDU program accounted for.

For anyone with an Nvidia card and the latest game-ready driver, try rolling back, if your performance is bad. Gave me and many others a big boost.

Maybe, I used DDU too. Didn't have any freezes or hitches on both drivers though.
Without "fog" game looks like past-gen title (horrible image quality does not help either)Has nothing to do with everything being blue, the whole atmosphere is gone if you turn it off, even fog. From the rockpapershotgun article:

Not a performance issue but the sound in this game is extremely off. I use headphones and the sound is super quiet with the sliders at 100. The only way to make it tolerable is to change the sound to narrow range. I wish I didn't have to though, after all wide range should shine on headphones! I should add that this is the only game that has this problem for me.
Yeah this issue seems to be somewhat exclusive to me and I can't figure out why. It's pissing me off.
I switched 3d audio off, put the audio mode to tv (although I have headphones) and put the sound range to narroq and now I can hear everything super well. Yeah I obviously would prefer immersive good 3d audio but Ill take flat audio that I can discern everything going super clearly over half the sound effect being unhearable although the source of the sound is close to my character.
Just wanted to say thanks for explaining this. I always wondered why my R6 Siege looks so dang good in-game with TAA, yet the moment I screenshot jaggies come out. Now I know! :D
===============
I've had the digital deluxe version pre-ordered and installed for a while now, but I think I'll wait for the next batch of Nvidia drivers and ReShade results before starting this up.
So I rolled back to 398.36 and noticed better performance on my 2500k @4.5 and Titan X. Less heat as well on the gpu.
I think I'm gonna settle for no AA since the AA solutions in this game are just bad. Turned Volumetric on Low for added atmosphere. It also helps mask the no AA :p

I would love to run volumetric rendering, but my PC just doesn't have the juice to do it with a good framerate, at least not on my 1440p display (i6700 980ti).
Do the console versions use volumetric rendering? It seems so from the screenshots and vids I've seen. I wonder what the ps4 Pro and Xbox One X settings are for it.
Hopefully DF will enlighten us =)
Meanwhile you can try to se VR to low or variable..
i cba to roll back, i'll wait for a new driver
and seriously this game is REALLY hotter than synthetic tests like wtf
Just bit the bullet, downloading (and rolling back drivers) as we speak. I'll chime in once I'm in game.

Tested the 398.36 and 398.82 drivers against each other. The .36 drivers ran worse for me by about 4-5 fps at the same lighting conditions.
FPS on 398.36: 57-58fps
FPS on 398.82: 59fps
FPS on 398.82: 60-61fps
(I chose this weird angle because it was the most intensive part of this perch. I also got it as close as possible between both versions.)
FPS on 398.36: 42fps
FPS on 398.82: 47-48fps
This is on a 980/4790k/16gb ram/SSD setup at 1080 with volumetrics off and no AA.
So yea, I think I'll be sticking with the updated drivers.

Don't think it's that. Both the reddit and steam threads that were posted on the first page about this were 970 users.

I HATE the fog thing and disabled it. Hated it hard on PS4 and im glad its gone. SH Diffuse is just not worth the performance impact IMO. FXAA looks better for me on an 65inch OLED. Maybe its another thing on monitor.
Ill test now if Dynamic Range 64 is HDR. :P
Edit: its not. No clue what it does. :-\
second edit: since im a masochist ill test this driver rumor...
