Lower resolution v lower graphics settings

[Dirk Diggler]

This is one of those questions that's quite difficult to Google as it's a bit multi faceted (kind of).

I've set up a lounge gaming system on a 65" 4k OLED TV using 6700XT & 5700x. Obviously, some things are fine at native resolution and some things struggle a wee bit. What would be the "best" option in your opinion..

1. Resolution at native 4k and lower settings in game, e.g. Ultra > Very High > High etc...

2. Lower resolution (1440 > 1080) in game and keep the settings higher

3. Lower the system resolution and keep settings higher

Are 2 & 3 the same thing or will Freesync get confused and not work with option 2? I'm thinking if I go with 3 then I can't use 4k on the lees demanding games. Is there an option I haven't considered?

TIA

Press the HyperFX button in Adrenaline.

It automates the performance/quality process.

Oh, interesting. I had read that this option conflicts with FSR options in game and is only really intended for games that don't have FSR. Is that BS?

When you say lower resolution, do you mean in the game settings menu as opposed to the Windows display settings menu?

Just looking at this and it's an eco option, looking like an alternative to chill?

 

[Dirk Diggler]

it is like DLSS, you pick quality or performance and it set the game up?

I'm not seeing that.

ou want to try Hyper-RX:

I don't have that option, only the Eco version.

Looking up for info with your gpu(it was a few months old though), I don't think you can enable RSR+Boost on your 67 but AMD usually release their new features later on a few months down the line.

Ah, OK. Thanks for the info.

Id go option 4 - Try out the options yourself and decide which looks best to you

People have made useful suggestions, e.g. the remote play option, so it's not just a matter of trial and error, which is why I've posted the thread.
