What is AMD FidelityFX?

I won't explain it. Google it yourself.
In short, Amd FidelityFX is a life-saving function. It make our gaming experience so nice.

Imagine having Graphic and FPS at the same time? too good to be true eh.
But everything come at a cost.

In this case, the cost is just we forced to use TAA Anti Aliasing. It's nice, but blurry.

It's like one time you hangover from driking a beer, it's barely noticable, but if you notice, it is anoying.

Imagine having hangover from beer


FXAA vs TAA

FXAA, Basically your graphic will be sharpen, cost little FPS.

TAA, Basically your graphic will be soften, cost more FPS.

Not Applied, Basically your graphic will be Jagged like jagger

 

Which one to use?

FXAA, When you get used to sharpest live.

TAA, When your life is a blurr.
Not Applied, When you don't need eyes.

 

How to?

The Hard Way:

Step-1: Enable the Remastered and AMD FidelityFX then choose all the setting you wish (texture, etc).

Step-2: Disconnect the game.

Step-3: Go to File Explorer and open C:\users\ %USER%\Black Desert\GameOption.TXT

Step-4: Set "antiAliasingIndex = #",

             Replace "#" with your choice:       

                    antiAliasingIndex = 5 : FXAA;

                    antiAliasingIndex = 2 : TAA;

                    antiAliasingIndex = 0 : disable;

            Then save.

Step-5: Open the game, and check. If it change to FXAA, good job. Jump to Step-10

 

If it is not change to your choice, then continue.

Step-6: Disconnect your game.

Step-7: Go to File Explorer and open C:\users\ %USER%\Black Desert\UserCache\<number>\gamevariable.xml.

             If you have lot of account, either find the one you desire or replace all gamevariable.xml :)

Step-8: Change <AntiAliasingIndex Value="#"/> to your wish, refer to Step-4.

Step-9: Open the game, and voila.

 

Step-10: Backup your data, or Save setting (idk if it work or not).

Step-11: Redo all of that if it revert to normal :)
