Render Resolution

[Myth]

How does it work? Does it only change how the ame looks if you aren't playing on your monitors native resolution?

This is ♥♥♥♥, use your native res and in game 100% render. Low render resolution cause that textures looks like crap.

I was just wondering if it affected how the game looks if you are playing lower than your native resolution playing at a higher render resolution. I've always kept it at 100%.

well simply put, lowering the resolution will lower the graphics, meaning it will look like $hit.
so yeah no point in lowering it unless the pc cant handle it.

What about increasing it? Why would I mention lowering the resolution of the game and lowering the render resolution too? I'm talking about lowering the resolution of the game and increasing the render resolution...

well u can only increase it to 100% so, but now thats something i dont understand at all, there is only 1 resolution to change in-game....if u mean about the resolution affected by the monitor itself, thats not something u change in-game but u can change that how much u want but that will not help with render-resolution at all as it will only let u choose the pre-defined render resolutions inside the game.

in my case i have 1680x1050 since i only have a 24 inch monitor, i cant go higher, but now in-game there are 1920x1050 or something when using 100% render, if i go lower it will say something like maybe 1050x980 etc but lower %, it still dont change the size resolution, only the look and fps.... when i first bought the game i messed with that render resolution just to see what it really did, it only did 2 things and it was the graphics and fps, it didnt change anything else at all.

Ok so you can change the resolution of the game in game... And you can go above 100%. For me I can select 200%. I was simply asking if going above 100% is for if youa re playing on a lower in game resolution...

well some might go over 200%, i cant however since my gpu wont allow it unless i change it in "config.ini", anyway, u can still use 200% if u want without lowering the resolution, but i doubt anything over 100% will affect the look on graphics anyway, i think all it will do is to lower the fps instead..

Let me repeat myself. So increasing it would only affect the graphics if you are playing on a lower resolution?

same assumption as you think an amd 8320e and and a 1050ti uses more then 650w ? :D

but you are right the resolution from textures will not get better but (hard to explain with my bad english) your game will have more pixels and something like corners from buildings will be straight lines. same affect with aa but cost you a lot of fps too

IT ONLY effect graphics no matter the resolution, lowering the native will not have any impact at all for it...

well i know for sure that u need a stronger psu for stronger hardwares, this is bcoz my friend had a gtx1080 founders edition and a i7-7700K kabylake with a 650W, he couldnt get most of the games to work until he bought a stronger psu on 800w

but this has nothing to do with W of your psu. maybe your friend got a cheap 650w with low amp`s on 8pin. if i remember correctly it was min 33 amps for 1080 gtx. a good 650w is almost enogh for 2x 1080 in sli

well that i cant say anything about tho, im not familar with the pins so.

Try using the power of google. It's what it's there for.
Youtube works too.

Render resoultion in most cases is best left at 100%.

Sometimes, if framerate is important it's better(looks wise) to use a lower render resoultion with some AA which is it's main use (consoles use this trick allllllllllllll the time).

Over 100%, it will do a simular job to what AA does. Imo, using better AA technics at native is better most of the time but I know some people like running games 2-3X Native Render Resoultion with no AA so it's probably a prefence thing.

Also, petty sure Nvidia DSR mode does a better job than using ingame render resoultion when ya going over 100% anyway.

Simply put, don't increase the render resolution. It's a complete waste. Doesn't matter if you have 720p with 200%, it's useless. Don't try it and don't waste your time. Besides, why would you go to a bad resolution anyway?
