Hot damn. I was just messing with my settings in Red Dead. I've fine tuned them to get what I thought were the best graphic settings my machine could handle. Up until now, I've been blaming my monitor for my non-sharpness. I don't know why, but I've never changed the resolution in game. I've messed with every other setting many times over, but not the resolution. I changed it from 1280x720 to 1900x?
. Holy fucking shit. This game just went from "these graphics are good" to "this is the prettiest thing I've ever seen". Seriously, it was like going from 720p to 4K.
I'm an idiot.
For some some reason I think I was thinking the resolution was automatically set based on my monitor's pixel count and/or screen ratio, but this doesn't seemed to have affected the XY proportions at all. It passed the quarter test.
I'm a happy camper with my machine now. Up until now I've kind of been kicking myself in the ass for getting a graphics card with only 3GB, but I'm perfectly content with where I'm at for now.
