Fix blurry graphics (1440p)

By rodrikes

I was having trouble with blurry graphics, and from the looks of it other people were as well.
Here is a simple fix. Assuming: DLSS, FSR and TAA ingame are off.

Setting a DSR factor (nvidia)

Setting a DSR factor (nvidia)

To fix it, do the following:
-Open nVidia control panel
-Go to "Manage 3D settings"
-Scroll down to "DSR - Factors"
-Set a factor larger than 1x. If you have a 2000 or newer series nvidia GPU, feel free to just set it at 2.25xDL, which means you'll be running at DLSS upscaled 4K (looks much better than in-game DLSS!).
If you have an older GPU, set it to a non-DL factor (I doubt you'll even see DL options there).
-ingame, set your resolution to the new custom resolution

and voila, your game no longer looks like you sneezed on your screen.

If you're on AMD, just go into your own driver settings and create a super resolution option there. I know its possible, I just don't know what the options are called anymore.

Just a small disclaimer: doing this will mean that you'll be running the game at a higher resolution. Your performance may go down the drain if you don't have a GPU that can keep up with your set resolution.

Dlss in 4k is awesome but in 1440p is horrible the motion blurrynes drives me crazy

FSR looks worse than the native res image in every single scenario. If you don't have to use it, don't use it. This guide already assumes its blurry even though you're not using it.

I am on AMD and I noticed that yeah it was really blurry for some reason, disabling FSR mostly fixed it for me. I will try SMAA as well. But the game runs not great on my pc and I don't know why. i5-13600K and 7900XTX. I get an average 45 FPS on high.

Honestly text was perfectly readable. I just had an issue with the actual look of the game.

The text is still perfectly readable at 2.25x btw.

What if it is set to OFF is 2.25 still going to be better, especially for text?
I have Win11 4070Ti and a 1440p monitor(Samsung G7 32inch 240Hz)

I just switch to 119 refresh rate and back to 120. Fixes it for me each time I launch the game, but resets when I start the game up again.

Image scaling works too, 30-40% is enough.

I personally run SMAA. Mainly because DLAA and TAA blur the whole screen again. DLAA is still acceptable, but TAA just ruins every game it touches.
