Why 4k gaming looks blurry?

So I have been gaming on 1080p....last month I buy 32 inch 4k monitor for PS5....today I tried to connect my PC on that monitor...my PC isn't ready for 4k (RTX 2060)...I just tried some game for fun to see how 4k looks...but when I set to 4k it looks blurry? Not sure why? On PS5 it looks ok so it's not a monitor problem

 

 

Is it because my PC isn't strong enough? But it should at least display a good 4k quality right? Just the fps is low

I would suspect either some kind of scaling issue or chroma sub-sampling. Have a poke around your monitor/gpu cotnrol panel and play with some settings, you can always restore defaults if it doesn't work.

 

Some settings to look out for are:

Monitor

Pixel scaling  - This should be 1:1 or Just scan (May be called something else)

GPU Control Panel

Output colour format - RGB preferably or YCBCR 444 if RGB isn't there

Scaling - By Aspect Ratio with scaling controlled by your display

Resolution - Check this is set to PC - 3840x2160, Nvidia cards have a tendency to set this to TV settings for 4k and it can mess things up

what monitor/model is it, my guess is an old port on the monitor, use displayport if available.

As others said, make sure it's actually running at 4k and drivers and game settings isn't set to some kind of upscaling from a lower resolution.

 

For me, games in 4k on my 4k monitor looks nice.

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. 
It matters that you don't just give up.”

-Stephen Hawking
