Hot tip for better looking graphics

Don't use the default upscaling mode "NIS", but switch to either FSR or DLSS depending on your graphics card, and set quality to No Upscale.

Context: When I started playing I noticed that everything looked grainy and not quite right, but didn't think too much of it. However when I got to the Hunting Grounds, the grass looked completely wrong like a soup of pixel, especially when moving. This is a dithering effect used to make complex small shapes like grass or hair render easier for your GPUs. But let's be honest, it looks like hot garbage. Then I started playing with the upscale mode and saw the problem. Now everything looks so much better, it's night and day.

You're welcome.

edit: I find there's a loss of contrast with FSR that I can somewhat offset by increasing the brightness slider by 1 or 2 ticks, but it isn't perfect. So not quite the perfect solution but better than a soup of dithered pixels.

Thankyou, brother.

FSR and shadows only and ultra performance modeis a must iif you're running on series X
