Noticed a new graphics setting in Patch 1.10 called "Experimental Sharpening".

The in-game description is: Experimental Adaptive Sharpening post-proc[ecessing]

From the screenshots below, it looks almost like a cell-shaded, Borderlands-esque effect.

What do you guys think? Would you use this for sharper images, or is it too much noise?

This is a feature we accidentally turned on, oops! We're going to be removing this in 1.11, so it will stay exposed up until then.

This is something that we are exploring to improve/adjust visuals of VALORANT. It's not properly tuned yet, so it does go closer to Borderlands that we'd like. If you do have any overall feelings about that, feel free to tell us!

It is a post-process (and a somewhat expensive one at that). Depending on your framerate and GPU, the framerate hit can be minor or significant (we haven't yet tested it internally rigorously).
