Unified sampling mode not good enough


#1

I got a feeling that no matter what I try the “Legacy sampling” mode is always giving better and cleaner results then the “Unified Sampling” mode. For instance here is a typical case where I am trying to render faraway and tiny elements like antennas on building or cistern structures (download also the PSD for a better look). Notice how in “Legacy” mode, the image is clean and sharp and how in “Unified sampling” mode it looks blurry and jagged (specially the bars of the antenna and of the cistern) even if I boost the settings to very high values. Can’t I obtain with “Unified sampling” mode the same (not asking for better) results as in “legacy sampling” mode? Am I missing something here? Or is the “Unified sampling” mode just limited and incapable of giving similar or better results than the “legacy sampling” mode?
