Worse looking UHD/4K than HD?

[Luisiroth]

Hello there,

When I setup the game to 4K, even 2K, the FPS suffer a noticeable drop. That's normal, but the problem here is that the game visuals are WAY worse on 4K than there are on HD. Is there a solution for that??

Thanks and best regards.

Means Adaptive FPS kicking in, lowering resolution etc.

Do you have Adaptive FPS turned on?

[RubiiX]

Yep, turn off adaptive resolution. If you set a frame rate target, it will lower resolution to achieve that frame rate.

[Luisiroth]

Nope, I have adaptive resolution dissabled. I even have the FPS limited. But 4K textures looks like sh*t. It seems that the antialiasing or something like that is crazy :/

The funny thing is the game looks rad when in HD, even better than the PS4Pro version.

I attach an example for each resolution. If the colors are strange is due to the HDR.

Thank you for the replies, thou!

Ya, very odd. Have no issues my end. My only guess is you've not enough VRAM to run 4k?

Did you try turning on Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in settings > Graphics settings in Windows? That, plus running in borderless, seemed to work for me.

Definitely looks like one of the effects of the game wanting more vram than you've got available.

Just not quite as bad as the people on low end amd cards who end up with their game looking like a ps1 game because the game can't even load the high lod models.

[Luisiroth]

I don't think that's the thing. I have Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling and the VRAM is at 5463/5967. It's not full, but the numbers are red. I should try lowering it??

What GPU do you have? And HZD will allocate as much memory as possible for textures.

Edit.

6GB VRAM? I don't know of any GPU's with only 6GB of vram that can run 4k.

I have an RTX-2060 6GB (the Asus one).

2060 is not exactly a 4K friendly GPU. Lacks the raw power and the memory.

Great for 1080p and some 1440p titles though.

[Luisiroth]

I've been able to play some games at 4K, even ultra, but it's true that most of them lose a few FPS when not playing at 2K/1080P. Do you still think that the problem is the VRAM? I should lower the settings in order to get a white number?.

Thanks again!

[Komarimaru]

Some games sure, at like 20-30 FPS. More if there's DLSS option. No such option in HZD I'm afraid. A 2060 is just that as powerful as people think. Great budget card though, no doubt, but I'd stick to 1440p or 1080p if you want a better gaming experience.

[Luisiroth]

Ok, then. I'll do that. Thank you!

Try lowering Model Quality and Textures to Medium. I'm curious if this solves the issue.
