Graphic settings questions
Posted: Tue Jun 27, 2023 2:23 pm
Hello everyone,
I've been waiting for this game since 2009, was still in high school then, I'm glad it got remade into this. Having a good time so far =).
I'd like to ask for some clarification on some of the graphic settings in the game, so I had mainly 2 questions. I hope this is the right place for this post.
My PC is not top of the line any more (Ryzen 5 1600, Rx580 8GB, 16 GB RAM DDR4), but I'm able to play the game decently well with everything on high (from 70+ fps to drops in the 40s in very specific places and missions). However, the only way I can accomplish this somewhat smoother experience is setting the "Maximum resolution" in the Upscaler settings to "Low".
Before the latest patch these options had a number next to them: Low (720p), Medium (1080p) High (2k), etc. Those numbers are gone now. As I understand I'm playing at 720p on a 1080p monitor with that option that way.
I have the Upscaler set to off, because it looks extremely grainy and blurry in this game, unlike other games that use FSR 2.0+ where the image quality looks much clearer and smooth (Cyberpunk and Deathloop as examples).
That being said my questions were:
1) What exactly is the maximum resolution setting under the Upscaler, and why is it affecting the game with the upscaler set to off? I'm glad it's there 'cause setting it to Low allows me to have a smoother experience with my setup.
2) Why does the game itself looks so blurry and grainy without using any type of upscaling and setting the "maximum resolution" to medium? (which is my native 1080p monitor).
Thank you!
Have a great week
