What would you use to improve visual quality of PoE?
|
New Nvidia DLDSR works amazingly well in PoE. And since game still not graphically too intensive - it neither affects FPS (mine is at steady 75), nor "melts" my GPU (3070)
Unfortunately screenshots just incapable properly show the quality of picture. I can show how original 1440p looks like. But any attempts to capture downscaled 1920p image - just messes up it's quality look. I can only say that it looks almost as good as actual 4k, on 1440p monitor. And not as intensive to process as actual 4k. But i thought. What else can i to use to improve visual quality even further? Some ReShade options? (and if yes - which). Anything else?

You only need 3 Reshade plugins to make the game look great:
- AdaptiveSharpen.fx - Colourfulness.fx - Levels.fx https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2830061 All 3 plugins are in the basic presets (reshade 5.0). Last edited by Hydra1975#4696 on Apr 12, 2022, 3:19:52 PM

Well, sharpen kinda pointless. As DLDSR provides perfect balance of both antialiasing and sharpen. I usually prefer not to use sharpen, as earlier techniques pretty much ruined AA attempts. But DLDSR works wonders in that matter.
As for other two techniques, not sure what they do. |

I bought a new PC, that has helped immensely.

" That's... a bit different league. Sure, expensive OLED HDR monitor can make a difference in visual quality. But i am more interested what can one do with current equipment, without paying anything extra. DLDSR thankfully is free, as long as you have 20xx or 30xx nvidia series (and any future series). |

Thats a problem that GGG has to fix when coloring monsters comparing to background they appear on.
POE2 should be the ruthless vision experience and POE1 should be the zoom power fantasy sandbox to capture both audiences. I petition to return all the fun stuff that was removed or nerfed over the years back into POE1. Last edited by Bosscannon#3325 on Apr 13, 2022, 4:50:00 AM

Yeah, checked screenshots on other 2 things.
I dunno. looks like weird attempt to apply HDR via software means. But it looks just like boosted contrast. Don't need ReShade for that. Just put it in graphics card settigngs, or monitor settings. |

Don't understand this quest. Visuals are fine. "Modern" trends in games is to spend way too much effort on making things look "amazing" and not enough effort making games fun.
