Watching videos from content creators like Bellular, WoW looks almost like a different game from what I’m playing.
Crisp, vivid, lots of rich colours etc.
I have a 4K monitor from 2015 and an Nvidia RTX 2080 Super GPU, but my game doesn’t “pop” at all. What’s the secret, faster refresh rates? HDR?
Disable the UI. It makes everything beautiful. You will be surprised.
You are watching videos on same monitor as you play game, it has nothing to do with your monitor or gpu 
Basically they make it “pop” in post process with color grading and contrast etc.
Sure but if their source video is crisp and colourful then it will look better on YouTube for me than my own gameplay would using bad settings etc. A video is pre-rendered and gameplay isn’t.
I use a pretty sparse UI already, this is more about colours and how everything pops.
Wow pop ? . Dont Think it ever Will pop visually with The engien it has now.
I’m sure you’ll figure out a way to make it “pop” visually.
Another trick is to play it on lower settings for a while and then crank up the settings to 10, BOOM omeegod
Np
They make it “pop” in video editing software, it has nothing to do with game nor with your monitor.
Get a 2k or 4k monitor with good brightness and with good color contrast, like a 10-bit color monitor with deep dark dimming. Having good color contrast makes the biggest change IMO, also higher the refresh rate better the experience.
Sure, but still: disable it completely in some cases and you’ll see what I mean. It makes it aesthetically feel like some beautiful single player adventure games in some cases; it’s extremely uncanny (in a good way); all those raid frames and spells and weakauras however smol we make them be: take things out of the aesthetical immersion.
In Final Fantasy you have an ‘Addon’ called “Gshade”, but I don’t know if there’s something similar for WoW.
Would be amazing though, Gshade is absolutely incredible.
It’s not that. A beautiful picture is beautiful even on 1080p and 8bit.
By the way: 2k is almost identical to 1080p in pixel density per inch.
LMAO if you really think that there is no difference between 1080p 8bit vs 2k 10 bit you don’t know anything easy as that lol
Maybe they use Nvidia Filters from the GeForce Experience.
It’s irrelevant for most people. You are effectively off topic and by definition wrong: people are telling you they want to reproduce a pretty picture THAT THEY ALREADY SAW ON THEIR 8bit monitor and you tell them “get a 4k 10bit monitor”.
a) They already saw a pretty picture on an 8bit monitor so you’re already wrong b) they want to reproduce it for others so they can’t buy 10bit 4k monitors to others c) come on: a pretty picture is pretty on any monitor
Problem is you’re watching videos from
Bellular. Blokes a complete joke.
Turn your colour scale up, it’s 6700k by standard if I’m remembering right. I turn it up to 9000k and everythings more vivid. Turn your sharpness up as well in amd/geforce to make everything err… sharper. Change colour mode on monitor to cold/warm from normal. Then play around with saturation/vibrance settings.
You can make the game look way better tinkering a round. Are you amd or nvidia? Can explain way better when I’m at pc lol.
If you have GeForce Experience installed you can just hit ALT + F3 and start tweaking away.
I take some skooma before playing. Goes well beyond 1-10 graphic setting scale.
I’m sorry but you are wrong about there being little to no difference between 1080p and 1440. Do you have a higher resolution monitor? I have a 24 inch 1080p monitor as a “backup” which sits next to my main 27in 1440p Samsung monitor and I can tell you for a fact that the latter looks vastly superior. I used to play WoW on that 1080p monitor when I first started in Legion and I’ve been using the 2k for almost 2 years now.
I actually had WoW running on the 1080p monitor not long ago because I was thinking of giving it away and wanted to see if it was still in fully working order. The difference between WoW on that and the one I currently use is night and day.
I used to be a sceptic myself but now I can say without a doubt that this “there’s no meaningful difference between 1080 and 1440” argument is total rubbish.
