AMD Adrenalin Image Sharpening is rubbish

Post by moon69 »

I fired up Factorio after an extended break and thought the graphics looked grainy/pixelated compared to what I remembered.

I eventually discovered that the AMD Adrenalin software for my Radeon 5700 XT defaults to enabling "Image Sharpening" and this was the cause of the issue.

On the left is sharpening On, and on the right it's Off...

Worse, Adrenalin couldn't handle the multiple Factorio installs I have, and was only applying my settings to my unused Steam version, so in the end I disabled Image Sharpening globally.
