topic Upgraded graphics card on my PC and now can run the 4k stream. Big difference! in Stadia on Chrome https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-on-Chrome/Upgraded-graphics-card-on-my-PC-and-now-can-run-the-4k-stream/m-p/23982#M1500 <P class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">I play Stadia with a Windows PC connected to a 1080p TV in my living room. (Or on my Chromebook if I'm in another room.) I like my TV just fine, and didn't really want to buy a 4K TV yet just to improve the look of Stadia. But, I only had integrated graphics, so couldn't force 4K. I got a GT 1030 card for $80, though, and I'm glad I did it. I changed my desktop size to 4k resolution, and now Stadia feeds me the 4k stream. It looks TONS better.</P><P class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">I know that lots of people wish the 1080 stream used more bandwidth to provide a better quality image. That would have been ideal, but anyway, I'm glad I can use the 4k stream now. I see a huge difference even though my TV isn't actually 4k.</P><P class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">Maybe when Android TV can run Stadia natively, I'll buy a new TV. In the meantime, this was a good compromise.</P> Thu, 04 Jun 2020 22:49:32 GMT RJpianist 2020-06-04T22:49:32Z Upgraded graphics card on my PC and now can run the 4k stream.
