Best DSR smoothness %?

[ablangc]

 

Nope, not really. Still looks like it's 10 years old. 

 

 

Yes the graphics may seem dated to you and many others, but to say "WoW having no graphical features whatsoever" and showing a very old pic of when WoW first came out is just plain ignorance.  Clearly it shows you have no idea what you are talking about.  Yes, this game is a guilty pleasure of mine but I have seen the game go from where it was to what it is now.  With every expansion, they try to do their best to push the graphics in the game.  Yes I do agree it looks cartoony and dated at times

 

I have included 2 screen shots from the game.  I am currently running this at 2560x1080 resolution and my computer specs are below.  If you turn up everything to max level, I am averaging around mid to high 50's with a 980 SLI setup.  GPU Usage is at 98% and 97%.  This is just sitting here in the garrison and it gets even worse when I am raiding.  So when you say "WoW having no graphical features whatsoever", please explain to me how all these settings are irrelevant?

 

In short, please do not comment if you have no experience first hand.

 

 

To the OP, I set mine to 15% DSR if I ever use it.

I was obviously referring to the graphics.  You're purposely nitpicking on words to prove a point that doesn't exist.  Art is subjective.  And I obviously meant WoW experience cos the past 2-3 years has seen huge improvements and change to the graphics engine of WoW.  You clearly did not know that and linked a 10 year screenshot as holy scripture.

I compared Warcraft 3 (which is on my Dual PIII rig with a Geforce 6200) to the attached thumbnails. It looks pretty much the same except for at a higher resolution (and the monitor although physically limited to 1024x768, it can display resolutions nearly up to the limit of VGA - though that makes the desktop impossible to see).

OP:

Personally I use 50% smoothness @4K when playing Portal (1080p screen).

Actually art style is much more closely related to aesthetics which is totally seperate from graphics. Graphics are just the the technical side of the way a game looks, shadow resolution, ambient occlusion textures, things of that nature.  Wow has terrible graphics that's a fact. How good the aesthetics are is debatable and based on someone's opinion. I personally think it's terrible as well. And you keep wanting to say how graphics have improved, well this screenshot is only a few months old. Warlords of Draenor

Maybe you have heard of extra credits? This is a deeper explaination of graphics vs aesthetics. 

 

But to reanswer the OP's original question DSR is best used somewhere between 20-30% I imagine samfisher's issue with it on WoW is it removes any detail that exists in the game's textures. Use dsr on a much more complex scene and I very much doubt that you will notice any kind of blurring at that setting.

I like 30-33%

And the picture I just posted from warlord of draenor? You know...the one right above that looks nearly identical. Read all posts before commenting. It's funny how many people white knight for the graphics of an ancient game.

[Totallycasual]

Well to be fair you're running your mouth off about WoW and saying it looks just as shit now as it did 10 years ago which is just silly, it has improved a lot in recent years. I no longer play but it does ok for such an old game, oh and just because someone calls you out for talking shit doesn't mean they're white knighting.

That picture is from 3 years ago with the graphics not max.

Sure it is. You guys just keep running in defense of WoW's graphics. It's hilarious what people will do for the things they like. It's like the comparison of a potato pulled from the ground (launch WoW) and now because someone ran some water over it and got the dirt off (current wow) you act like it's still not a potato but now it's a golden apple. Well I have already shown you why you are wrong and even shown you the kotaku article of why you are wrong and other people have already posted in defense of WoW but anyone with else will see that those pics on support my argument further. Now you keep trying to act like a potato is not a potato. I have better things to do, this went way off topic.

Well WoW can always max out your card if you want to. You just have to disabled max FPS. Anyways, it's an open world game that relies on heavy player population. If the graphics would improve drastically a lot of people with midrange cards (so like most of the ''commmon'' PC Gamers) wouldn't be able to play anymore and that would really defeat the point of WoW. 

But I'm sure you can compare it to other popular mmos in terms of graphics. Lmao.
