Check if rendering resolution boost works with ultra options.
Hi everyone, I'm currently enjoying Days Gone on PC and experimenting with different settings to achieve the best visual quality without sacrificing too much performance. It's a classic balance between image clarity and frame rate. Since I'm new to PC gaming, I wanted to get some advice from others. I'm considering two main options: 1) using around 130-140% render resolution with medium and low settings, or 2) going full 100% resolution with high and very high settings. Ideally, I'd want both higher resolution and the highest possible settings, but my 2060 and i5 10400f can only handle one of these. I'm seeing around 75-85 FPS in each case. The second option looks a bit grainy and rougher, while the first gives cleaner visuals with some extra detail in smoke and fire effects. As a side note, the graphic menu in Days Gone is really useful—it lets you see changes instantly. Overall, this comes down to personal taste, but I'm open to suggestions. Do you have any tips on tweaking the Nvidia control panel to improve image quality? I've tried adjusting sharpness and film grain, but I'm curious about other options. Thanks in advance!
Full resolution rendering with maximum quality settings at all times (so your games never appear blurry)
Consensus reached, begin boosting render resolution only after reaching the standard settings at your chosen native display size. If your GPU has extra capacity, raising the resolution can help reduce pixel jitter, especially if the game already supports advanced anti-aliasing methods like Super Sampling.
I’d leave it alone without following any suggestions from GeForce Experience. It often doesn’t function correctly and tends to push graphics settings beyond what your hardware can handle. For me, the main factors are display resolution and how well the screen handles different resolutions. Right now I’m mostly happy with an LG Oled in my living room or a Philips Momentum in my bedroom—both 2160p panels that scale smoothly at 1440p and 1080p. That way I don’t have to stress about gaming at 4K if it strains my system. I usually stick to 1440p and push other settings higher. However, not every screen scales well; I’ve seen panels that look blurry when set to resolutions other than their native size.
It seems I have limited options. I lean toward simpler finishes without pop or harsh textures, which might mean reverting everything to its full intensity.
