Blurry graphics

This issue has been adressed several times. I've tried a lot of the solutions given and was happy with the result playing on my 1080p screen. Now that I've upgraded to a 4K screen I see that the graphics still are quite blurry.

I did a comparison with Geforce Now and here you can se the difference

As you can see there is quite the difference.

I've a graphics card that supports VP9 and are a Pro member on Stadia and RTX 3080 member on GFN

The resultion in both games should be 4k

Is this to be expected of Stadia to produce a picture with so much blur?

Hi @accolon 

That looks like it is not using VP9 somehow.

You could use the unofficial pluging Stadia Enhanced to force VP9 and the resolution to use.
It also let's you check all the stats including used codec and resolution. :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I've already done that and everything seems to be in order.

Hi @accolon 

Strange. So the plugin shows it is using VP9 and running in 4K?
You can force the settings by using the plugin and it should show you in the stats.

Could you validate you are seeing Hardware VP9 or Software VP9?

Hi @accolon 

:face_without_mouth: Could you try using Stadia in a Chrome Incognito window to see if that somehow helps?

Well I've tried a number of things:

  • Incognito mode
  • Different browsers (including Chrome canary)
  • Advanced scaling settings - turned off the feature that lets Windows try to fix apps so they're not blurry.
  • In NVIDIA settings changed the low latency setting to Ultra for the used browser (this did help a bit)
  • And I'm on wired (1000/100)

But all to no avail.

Attach us a screenshot where you can see the decoding time information and others that the extension offers you, please, in some cases if you see problematic data there, you may have to use the internal graph instead of a dedicated one. In my case, using the integrated intel allows me to have stable 4K when with my dedicated nvidia I dropped to 720p sometimes due to the decoding time it used.

You could also try on a mobile or other device and see the differences.

Destiny 2 should look roughly like this in 4K HDR (recorded directly from Stadia). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx7LwZSYrOM

My onboard graphics doesn't support VP9 so that is not an option.

I sadly have no other devices to test with on this monitor.

Here come the screenshot

After watching the provided clip I see that my picture looks about the same. So I guess this is as good as it gets presently on Stadia. I really like the the userfriendlyness of the platform but it is a bit sad that the graphics is notably worse then the competition :disappointed_face:
