still playing with this......
below are some comparisons. All images are in 1440p. I was going to do it in 4K where the differences would have been greater, but. The window keep making itself smaller than the taskbar so it was just smaller than the dx9 image, enough to make it look really weird when trying to do a direct comparison. You will see the best enhancement when I was able to add FXAA+MSAA to smooth it all out. This is the effect I was wanting the most from the start. Going to keep messing around with it to see what else I can accomplish.
