Blurry and Grainy screen in Need For Speed 2016

It looks exactly the same as the console versions. I was hoping there would be a few more graphic options like the ability to turn off the film grain or a different aliasing option other than FXAA or TXAA. For now this is just the aesthetic they decided to go with for this game, maybe there will be a future patch to allow more graphic tuning for pc users.

I might also add that this game looks absolutely awful with TXAA on, FXAA looks way better and less blurry, but it's better than with no aliasing on at all for the time being.

Hi @rec0nnaissance

The most common cause of grainy / blurry image is actually due to mismatched resolution.  That is, the displayed resolution does not match the native resolution of the (HD)TV.

Most (HD)TVs have a default lower-than-native resolution for PC usage. Obviously, this will result in relatively grainy image.

Another cause is the underscan/overscan issue which is common when a TV is connected to a PC, especially concerning HDMI. When this happens, if one attempts to correct the phenomena by tweaking the aspect ratio, the result is usually less than desirable.

In general, I suggest:-

- read the TV manual to find if it has a HDMI input dedicated for PC.  Usually it is the HDMI 1 (for DVI as well).

- most (HD)TVs  have overscan/underscan correction available in the menu. Use it to correct the phenomena.

-use the renaming trick. That is, rename the source label from whatever its original name to 'PC-HDMI', 'HDMI PC'...etc This often can stop the overscan/underscan issue as well, giving a pixel-to-pixel image.

NOTE i suggest to trying a firmware update.

@yahel_1 Thx for the reply, I think that might be the problem but I'm not using a TV, its a pc monitor with HDMI. I think it has a mismatched resolution. But the monitor is 1920x1080 and the in-game settings is also 1920x1080. The other thing I notice is when I'm in-game then go back to main desktop, the screen goes all flickering,

OK @rec0nnaissance 🤔

Finding video devices and updating video drivers on your PC http://help.ea.com/en/article/finding-devices-and-updating-drivers/

You need to setting up a graphics card gaming profilehttps://help.ea.com/en/article/setting-up-a-graphics-card-gaming-profile/

These steps are for players with AMD or NVIDIA graphics cards only. If you have a different graphics card manufacturer, check their official website for a similar solution.

NOTE maybe helps you- go in Origin /  My Games-right click on the game icon select Game Properties, and tick disable Origin In Game ,

@yahel_1 Updated everything with no results, still blurry. Perhaps its the xbox one remains? Another thing that I find odd is that the pause menu is HD just like the actual game screenshots, so that may indicate that its the problem with the game's TAA ? 

Disabling the in-game origin didn't help too

@rec0nnaissance i forgot to tell you 😳 this...sorry mate.

Once you've finished to do the steps above go in your Origin client, right clicking on game icon NFS select Repair Game and Check for Updates.

Hey.i have the same issue and i tried all the stuff that you said and nothing worked.....game still looks blurry and allmost unplayable will there be any fix for that?

@yahel_1 Thx for all the patience on answering but sadly neither did that work. I guess I'll wait for the next patch because it seems that the default Anti-Aliasing has a problem.. But thx for trying to help

Okay here is what i found: 

Go to C/users/your username here/Documents/Need for Speed/settings

Then open PROFILEOPTIONS_profile with some text editor and find GstRender.FilmGrain and change the value from 1 to 0
