Re: Graphics look bad. Jagged Edges.
Hello I have the Intel Iris XE graphics & lately my game looks choppy, the lines of everything looks jagged. I tried everything not sure what to do.
Forum Discussion
I looked at this on the Microsoft website it says that if I install this, it would remove the custom graphics that comes with my pc. I will look into this and decide. It also says in the website that since my pc is hop to check the go website to see if I can update the driver, which I did but the graphics still looks blurry & choppy. The graphics is up to date & it says it is the best one for this pc right now.
@SweetVirgo23 Then I don't know what else to tell you, sorry. You could try an older version of the Intel Graphics Command Center; a few reputable sites host them. For example:
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ae/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=1234c
Although I don't know whether the Dell version would install on your PC. (If it did install but didn't work, you could simply uninstall it.) From what I can see, the newer versions removed some features that are now moved to Arc Control, which in turn may or may not be offered by HP for your laptop. This is why I started with trying to see what was already installed on your computer: I was hoping that Arc Control or something like it would already be present, allowing you to skip the step of finding a suitable discrete download.
However, it may be that you're caught in the middle, with a graphics driver that's too old for the switch to Arc Control and with the newer versions of the Graphics Command Center not offering the options you want. So you might just have to wait for an update from HP, or play with the in-game settings until you find something that looks good enough.
@puzzlezaddict So I switched to the intel arc i edited the settings at first I didn't change anything. for some reason the performance tuning tab doesn't show for me. I edited the settings for sharpening it to 100% I also put the Anisotropic filtering to 16x & the adaptive tessellation is on to 100%, the tearing mitigation mode is to smooth sync. is that all okay or is there something else i have to do because, so far i don't see a much of a difference it's better when you zoom in objects & sims look sharper but when you zoom out it's blurry are so jagged on certain objects like picture frames or some BB objects.what's strange is that the photo in the frame i took of my sims family is so clear but the frame is still jagged. This might sound stupid but for the tearing mitigation if i have the setting to smooth sync do i have to have the vertical sync enabled in game too? it says "vsync has to be disabled in application before modes can take effect" does that mean in the intel arc control or in TS4? I attached some photos the first photo is how my game looks when i zoom out & the last two are when i zoom in on objects for some reason the frames (see photo three for reference) from the paranormal sp looks super jagged but the bench from jungle adventure is fine, Any photo frames and edges on certain objects look jagged up close but everything looks blurry the more i zoom out (see photo one for reference).
@SweetVirgo23 The only settings that would have an effect here are those that have to do with anti-aliasing. Vertical sync is completely unrelated. If you're curious, it tells the GPU to wait until it has fully rendered a frame to send that data to the monitor, thereby avoiding the monitor displaying parts of two different frames at the same time. The latter can result in screen tearing.) When people say that vertical sync makes a game look smoother, they don't mean that the edges are smoother, they mean that the game has less stutter or screen tearing.
For this issue, just play with the anti-aliasing settings, with Edge Smoothing both on and off within Sims 4's settings, and see what you get. And again, there may be limits to how much you can fix here, especially if you're zooming in enough that the placement of the individual pixels on your screen comes into play.
In general, when the Arc Control software says "X has to be disabled in application before modes can take effect," it means exactly that: in order for the Arc Control settings to apply, the corresponding settings within the game need to be disabled. So if you're enabling vertical sync in Arc Control, it has to be disabled within Sims 4's graphics settings. I'm not sure whether the same is true for anti-aliasing/edge smoothing, which is why I've suggested testing with in-game edge smoothing both on and off.
@puzzlezaddict I couldn't add a fourth photo so i had to put another reply. This is what it looks like when I zoom out a bit more my sims & the surroundings are a bit more blurry & jagged.
