What GPU settings do you use?

[Niallism]

Hi. Simple question, I've been fiddling with the various upscaling etc settings, and I'm a bit lost because I never really use upscaling. So what does everyone else do?

I have an OK PC, with an RTX 4060 and a 3440x1440 monitor. I keep clicking on the different upscaling options and not knowing which particularly helps performance, and then squinting to see which looks nicest.

I don't know why, but the games I usually play don't have many upscaling options, so I'm ignorant. I don't even know if some of them match Nvidia GPUs especially.

Interesting question!

I've got a quite good PC with a Ryzen 9 5950X CPU, 64 GB RAM and an RTX 4070 Ti GPU - and I'm using the same resolution as you do.

I never really fiddled with the Graphic settings, other than ensuring the correct resolution was selected and setting everything to High.
Regarding Upscaling, I have no idea. I can't recall fiddling with it - however it's not set to Auto, so I can't be sure.

The Auto setting doesn't make much sense to me though, as for me it shows AMD FidelityDX, whereas I've got an Nvidia card, just like you (perhaps it's because I've got an AMD CPU?):

I've no idea what the Intel XeSS or Intel Xe Low Latency checkboxes do either, but on mine neither is checked.

FWIW I'm more than happy with the graphics, but I'm not too happy with the turn times in Modern age when playing on a Huge map with 12 players. I suspect that might not be down to the GPU though, but what do I know?

I guess I might have ended up leaving you with more questions than you initially had, sorry about that

Logic is always CPU, visuals are generally always GPU. So if you got slow times, CPU is what you should look at (RAM too)
