What’s the point of motion blur in modern games? It’s the one setting I seem to have to turn off manually in far too many games. What other settings to you change in most games? (piefed.social)

My human eyes create motion blur just by objects moving on the screen, there is no need for additional blur.

They don't because those objects don't move. You look at static images. Objects that would move fast enough to create a motion blur for your eyes rather create weird optical illusions.

Like, I get that you dislike the fake motion blur effect, so do I. But your eyes don't compensate as the screens and games have refresh rates and don't move anything in between frames.
