Re: Cheesier graphics after update...

The graphics in BFV and BF1 look so much better than 2042 imo. I guess this is due to the 2042 maps being bigger. With all Ultra settings on PC some of the BVF and BF1 maps are just stunning and the lighting looks amazing. 2042 looks more cartoon like imo and lacks textures and details on most maps. 

@  Yeah, I've had enough too.  Reinstalling 4, 1 and V...

I went back to BFV a week before Christmas and haven't regretted it at all, everything about it is just miles better than 2042. Once I get bored of that I'll head back to BF1 as well. 

@Stew360I'm maxxing out 2042 graphics, all ultra at 3440x1440 100fps minimum on a 100Hz monitor and the graphics still look worse than BF1 and BFV, the details and texture just aren't there on most 2042 maps because it was rushed.

BFV and BF1 look stunning all Ultra 3440x1440

@RipGroove99Of course " You do mate " and with what exactly ? I have the best RTX3080 money can buy my frequency goes to over 2090mhz and my card dont even surpass the 60% utilisation and if i run at 4k with Tensor core accelerated DLDLSS i wont get 100 fps so sorry it aint plausible ..

Also Orbital especially with rain effect etc.. look a billion time better than BFV even on medium low setting ... like come on ..

Don't be sad, this is just how it turns out sometimes. If you can't afford good hardware for the game, don't play it.

@Stew360Not at all bothered if you don't believe me but for reference, 3090, 11900k, 32GB of very low latency and fast RAM and m.2 SSD's (about 15500 score in Time Spy). If was at all bothered and even still playing 2042 I'd do a quick video showing my settings and FPS and performance in game but I really have no desire to launch 2042 and I'm not even slightly bothered if people on the internet doubt the performance of my PC. And I'm not surprised you are struggling with a non Ti 3080 tbh. Just to add insult I'm not even using DLSS either, I get more than enough FPS without it. 

@Stew360Wasn't the standard 3080 released in like 2020? Obviously it won't be able to max out a big game like 2042 that came out very late 2021. So 'the best 3080 money can buy' as you put it just doesn't have the horsepower to max out 2042 at 4k or 3440x1440 Ultrawide, especially if not paired with a beast of a CPU. Just because you paid a lot of money for it 2 years ago doesn't mean it'll smash all current games at high Res all ultra. 2042 is poorly optimized as well, the only reason my system can handle it is because my CPU and GPU are  just powering through the poor optimization. 

@Stew360 I bet you weren’t expecting Ripgroove to have them specs eh.

@RipGroove99
My man your 3090 wont change a thing .. MY GPU is not even touching the 60% utilization sometime dropping in the 40% lol .. My friend with the exact same system gets the exact same frame rate as i do .. laos i have spend hours trying to find wich setting impact the CPU load the most and how to optimize the game to its best ..

ALso my card is not any 3080 and its running at 2090Mhz OC and its 1 in 10 000 cards that can even nearly achieve this .. yet my card is unused in BF so yeah .. My bet is you have anything between 60 and 70 fps in 4k in large battles and anywhere between 80 to 90 fps in smaller game modes ..

Yet the experience is much better at higher FPS in 1440p with some tweak in the settings ..To have decent looking graphics with the best performances possible with no stutter as much as possible ... Fluidity always result in a better looking experience and will be more pleasing to the eyes

A 120+ FPS experience on a high refresh rate monitor will look better at mediums 120fps than it does at ultra 60 fps .. thats just a plain facts and anyones having played on high refresh rate monitors knows that ..

BF2042 does not run terribly bad when you know how to make it run well and have decent hardware . but the thing is a game that isnt fluid enough create visual artefact and blur the texture and make everything look bad

In most games the difference between a 3090 and a 3080 stock not mine is barely 5 to 10 fps at best .. My card run at 2090Mhz wich most 3080 dont even reach the 1950mhz mark without getting unstable thats said MY card is barely used in BF so yeah

@Stew360 Unless I'm missing something both videos are using 11900k  

@David6479
Yeah i have mistakenly not posted the one with the 10900k but well it was still very similar lol between 60 to 75 fps at best .. and if using tensor core etc.. it could go to the 75-85 ish but well thatts another story ..

Its exactly as i expected .. the game dosnt run in the High 120 fpps lol thats for sure My 3080 Score the same on many games as many 3090 with 3 to 5 fps difference its insanely minimal yet my card isnt used much in 1440p and is not fully used in 4k but the limiting factor atm is CPU mostly but also there is some backend work to be done ..

I have also noticed that servers performances affect FPS in this game similar to star citizen .. i have had some full 128 players servers that ran into the 120-140 fps 1 day before patch 3.02 when normally i was running around 90fps so there is some odd stuff that make the game less fluid wich affect the visual perception make texture look worst ..

Just watch a 30 fps youtube video on your phone then watch a 60fps cap video and you will see a imediate difference and you will feel as if texture are more crisp in the 60fps video then well while gaming there is even more difference between over 100 fps and 60 fps or below

@Stew360 I'm no expert and I've been out the custom pc building for a few years but the videos are at different stages of the game being updated and also surly having one system using Windows 11 and the other Windows 10 effects the handling of the CPU allocation.

I know we are talking about the CPU but the GPU Nvidia drivers in one are 472.12 with 511.23 being the most recent, I'm not disagreeing with you or anything just too many variables in the Videos.
