Why it looks so grainy

[White Wolf]

Anyone knows why the game looks grainy? + if i put the level of detail on max it looks way grainy than in low - very low. dont get me wrong the game looks awesome, but i dont know why when there is more vegetation and it need more level of detail it just get really pixelated/grainy

Hard to say without your specs. The game does have dynamic resolution scaling enabled by default.

You may be using too much sharpening. This game will look grainy with high sharpening.

I think they mean "shimmerry" and that's due to choice of anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering

Thats the fun part, i disable Sharpening in the menu

So it's not just me. Adjusting the level of each default graphic setting doesn't seem to make a difference.

i put the level of detail on low and it looks more "smooth" also tweaking anti aliasing and ansiotriopic filtering (like Homers64 says) help but at the same time don't i dont know its hard to explain from someone who dont undestand to well technicall issues + english is not my first lenguage

Game looks great to me on max settings. Somebody asked if you use "Dynamic" resolution. Do you?

With an RX-6600XT you might be dropping to a really low rendering resolution. That, combined with FSR may be the issue you're having.

You'll need to experiment to find the best combination of settings, but leave Dynamic off to start with, if it's on now.

Your game should be able to run pretty well with your system. Maybe some combination of Medium/High on a 1440p screen.

What screen resolution do you have?

my monitor its and "old" one 1920x1080 might not be the best monitor but in all games i play it looks pretty, yeah my RX-6600XT sadly just have 8gb so im a little tight down rigth there.
i just disable Dynamic resolution and now it looks good
Thanks

yeah i mean not everyone can afford to upgrade the pc spects every year, with this set up i run almost every game pretty well, im not complaining about fps drops

Thanks guys this solved my problem.
I disabled it and my game looks great now.

Seriously what a stupid option I thought it was just the freshrate of my monitor and thought that shouldn't effect my graphics at all and didn't think about it but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ what was I wrong it made my game look like dogshiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

TAKE MY POINTS THANKS ONCE AGAIN :)

Okay,
DYNAMIC resolution seems to be the MAIN issue as it tries to maintain a consistent FPS but will heavily drop the rendering resolution if you don't have the GPU processing power, and FSR2 when upscaling from low resolutions tends to look pretty soft and has other artifacts.

So I'd probably start HERE:
1) turn on "MEDIUM" preset, VSYNC OFF and observe the FPS
2) experiment with "FSR2.2", Intel's XeSS, and then turn that section off and try SMAA and TAA

3) fiddle around with the various settings until you find the optimal visual fidelity that gets you to close to 70+ FPS average
4) then force on VSYNC to clamp to 60FPS

5) See if Dynamic Resolution looks okay at this point since the RESOLUTION drops below what you are at NOW should be minor.

TLDR: play around with the settings.

I can't test all this myself so unsure how FSR2.2 looks, and of course the game still has some BUGS to be sorted out but that's my general approach to someone with an AMD card and 60Hz (non-GSync) monitor.

Yup, turning off the Dynamic solved the graininess for me. Playing on medium settings now since my not so old potato is still a bit too old at this point.
