Game (Specifically Characters) Looking Blurry

So, my game looks incredibly "blurry", no matter what settings I'm playing on. This is what the game looks like on ultra. As a comparison, here's what the game looks like for other people (from a screenshot I found on Google).

I'm running a GTX 1050 Ti, an i5-2400 Quad Core CPU @3.1 GHz, have 8 GBs of RAM and am using Windows 10. DxDiag here for more info.

I've reinstalled my drivers, and have uninstalled Inquisition with REVO Uninstaller and reinstalled.

I'm unsure of exactly what I can do to make the game look like it should, and am looking for suggestions. Thanks 🙂.

  • The only big difference I see is that you're playing at a lower resolution than the screenshot.

    Also make sure you disable post-processing anti-aliasing. This is a low-cost technique that reduces jagged edges by making the image blurrier.

    Would it really make THAT significant of a difference? It seems overly blurry, and only happens for this game, no others, which is why I'm curious as to if it is just a resolution thing.

    I think post-processing anti-alias is the biggest contributor. I'll post screenshots in a few minutes.

    Update

    Comparison screenshots. These are on the ultra preset. Click image to view larger version. With post-processing AA disabled, you can make out individual strands of grass. It becomes more blurry with post-processing AA enabled.

    Edit: The images aren't properly embedding anymore. Here are links:

    1600 x 900 - Post-processing AA disabled

    1600 x 900 - Post-processing AA enabled

    1920 x 1080 - Post-processing AA disabled

    1920 x 1080 - Post-processing AA enabled

    Thanks for replying 🙂

    I ended up tweaking some things in my Nvidia control panel, and I upped the anistrophic filtering to 16x, which seems to help quite a lot, and upon your suggestion lowered the post process antialiasing. Looks better, not perfect (dunno exactly why, but it might be resolution like you said, or it might just be my settings messed up a bit somewhere along the line, or who knows what). Still unsure as to why I can't make it look like I've seen it look in certain screenshots, but it's not actively bothering me anymore.

    Thanks for your help!
