interlaced/normal

[X105Strike]

this game is by far amazing and should be played wearing headphones my first contact with a certain enemy the sound and presents of the monster scared the ♥♥♥♥ out of me as the sound came from behind.

my main question is im playing at 4k pretty much maxed my settings and I have it set to interlaced to get the full 60fps with no drops, I am playing on a 4k 55 lg tv and i sit a good distance from it ( across on the couch ) I notice the differences only when i get up close to the tv but nothing really from where im sitting. this is the first game i played with this option i do no this setting is somewhat similar to when the ps4 pro and xbox x do with checkerboarding, but i was wondering is there really a big difference in the settings since i am sitting a far ways away from the tv or am i better off setting it back to normal and locking my fps to 30 since i do not mind playing games at this fps.

if you can't tell, and are playing further away, why not just enjoy your 60fps?

i have no idea what interlaced/normal is even supposed to mean. what does that do exactly?

it will render certain pixel lines of your tv or moniter at 4k and another line at a lower quality to take stress of your graphics card. so like the ps4 pro uses this method i believe and they call it checkerboard rendering so half the pixels produce a high quality image while some lines are lower quality, you notice it up close to a moniter but this is the first pc game i ever had this option on so i was not to sure if it has the same effect or messes with the image to much.

I also play at 4k but I have my setting on normal vs. interlaced. I get constant 100+ fps on my 4k GSYNC HDR monitor (Acer Predator X27) on a 2080Ti. Game looks so good! And I agree... this game is best played using headphones! Mine is Steelseries Arctis 7 (Wireless)

i want to get a 2080 ti but i only have a gtx 1080 ill be upgrading next month not sure if ill get a ti or just the regular 2080. interlaced lets me play at 4k with my settings all up and holding a solid 60 fps i do notice little differences when im really examining the screen but besides that my gosh the game is beautiful and suspensful.

the headphones really make the anxiety kick up without the headphones on it feels normal not to suspensful but my god with them on is a whole new experiance.

I'm not bashing on anyone, but this is a common 'issue' in discussion threads like these... could someone please explain to me the immense desire that some people have to mention all the $$$ components one's computer is made out of, the amazing quality the game has with maximum settings enabled and the buttery-smooth framerate it runs at with the newly released 4K 240 Hz monitor, when it really is not relevant to anyone but the author of the comment? I know it is no big deal, but it really frustrates me -- and there are a ton of 'em out there. Peace! (not meant directly towards you, Xellos)

Maybe i got this wrong but is interlaced scan for nostalgia taking you back to the 1990's era?

If you are using interlaced then I would suggest setting image quality to 120%-140%, just play around with it. I actually run mine like this:
interlaced with most settings maxed out or med
image quality 130%
frame-rate set to variable
vsync set to fast in nvidia gpu panel
full-screen with vsync enabled so no tearing
If you use borderless full-screen, don't use vsync in game cause you'll cap your frame-rate at your monitor refresh rate.
You should be able to get 70 to mid 60's fps with these settings. Hope this helps. Also forgot to mention, using a higher image quality like 120%-140% will make up for using interlaced without dropping fps vs using normal and trying to up the image quality.

Only if you can see it. It is pretty much undetectable even on a 23-inch 1080p monitor, you need lower pixel density to catch some glimpse of it.

Almost commented the same thing, glad u beat me to it lol. If ppl wanna know this, they will read reviews. I wonder if ppl who do that are being paid to do it.. . .

Interlaced is for making low frame rates smoother mainly for tv film. Don't see the point in using it now, everything is square pixel. I assumed the option was just a filter for nostalgia.

[talgaby]

No, it is an option to increase performance. The difference between interlaced and standard rendering on this game is in the 25-40% range. It is also commonplace, as others said in this thread, for consoles, so they can have at least a chance to reach 60 fps or 4k resolutions in some games.
