Graphics pretty mid imo

[Astariol]

Title. I mean the game looks alright, but it's amazing how something that felt cutting edge a couple years ago just looks weird now. The models are impeccable, but the lighting is hit and miss and the game just looks grainy.

Turn off Film Grain and turn on Ray Tracing.

Dog imma try this. I'm busy playing PowerWash Simulator though. So maybe in a few months when Phantom Liberty comes out.

I wondered this myself, I've been playing on max graphics, although only 1080p resolution, and game looks so muddy or how you said it, grainy. Even if I disabled all of the visual filters (grain, chromatic aberration), it doesn't help much. I've been wondering is it something on my end or maybe the game is just designed for 4K resolution.

Yes. Exactly. I'm running it literally maxed at 4k, Psycho RT Lighting, Psycho Screen Space Reflections, Ultra everything else. All the RT, and hitting 100-116 FPS pretty much solid and yeah it still looks like ass.

And the crazy thing is, with a lower framerate I just assumed I was seeing a muddy image due to FPS, but nah the game just looks meh

Not to be reductive, but the film grain is just heavy handed in this game. When everything is cranked (and if your rig can keep the FPS up) it is a pretty game. I had to come back to it after I upgraded from an older 10 series myself.

I mean, I am exaggerating just a bit. But, in my opinion, Red Dead 2 is a better looking game, and you don't need a $4000 PC to have it look nice and run well.

My issue with games like Cyberpunk is kind of a greater issue in gaming where corpos keep cranking up graphics like we can afford this ♥♥♥♥, at the expense of writing and you know, making an actually fun game.

Cyberpunk is not the enemy though. It's actually a really good game.

We are all spoiled if this is meh now, lol. I'm not going to say something like Spiderman/MM or RDR2 aren't good comp with RT etc, but it's definitely not meh lol. But @Astariol, it sounds like your rig has a lot of headroom. You could try a reshade and some extra mods to really crank it.

Lol. Personally.... I am waiting on Ghost of Tsushima to drop on PC. That game was gorgeous on a base PS4 at 1080/30.

The muddy effect is caused by the temporal antialiasing the game is using. Not much you can do about it. If your GPU can afford it, use a higher resolution than you monitor allows (such as AMD Virtual Super Resolution), or some other supersampling solution.

Ghost of Tsushima on PC will be unbelievable. It might bring me out of retirement. Lately I just find all games to be boring. I think I'm becoming an old man. My kid graduates in a few months.

Where does all the time go? I'm in a weird transitional period where I don't game as much, and I just ♥♥♥♥♥ about the good ol' days.

"Back in my day you got the whole game! There weren't no funny things like Dee-El-cee! Nope!"

[kripcision]

its the anti-aliasing they use, you can turn if off with a mod but it brings forth some bad edges, but it looks MUCH clearer and that grainy weird look goes away.

[Player(1)]

That's interesting thanks, have to try that mod when I can play the game again.

[Starkregen]

I agree the game feels muddy sometimes. in inventory screen looking at my character and its kinda blurry.

They were called expansions way back before we forgot what a finished game felt like.
