Thermal scope quality difference between console and PC?

I am a PC player, and i had tried out thermals a few times but wrote them off as pretty much worthless due to how pixelated they become past 30 or so meters

Well I've been seeing clips of thermal scopes that are crystal clear over 100m. The only thing i can see in common is that it is a console player.

I have spent maybe 2 hours now trying to recreate whatever settings to get the crystal clear thermal, but haven't had any luck. my only worthy notes being slightly increasing world brightness to 55, setting sharpness to 0, reducing FOV and turning on DLSS made it slightly better. but 0 sharpness makes the rest of the game look terrible, and lower FOV feels bad to play on

just one example that really highlights how clean thermals are for some people

my thermal pics are taken on overkill graphics, 100 sharpness, 55 world brightness, with dlss. this is what i generally play at
