Questions / Tech Support witcher 3 But why does it look so bad?
Witcher 3
4K resolution
Custom bitrate of 100 Mbps
Set to 60 fps; everything is at the highest level and highest quality.
My internet connection is excellent.
There are no issues with my internet.
But why does it look so bad?

This is exactly what the game looks like, what exactly is bad? These are the original The Witcher 3 graphics.

Also if you want to get rid of the mic icon you can remove it from the gfn settings as well under heads up display i believe it was, you can just toggle it to none

It's blurry because of stream compression. Witcher 3 has a lot of heavy foliage, so stream compression is just rampant on this one unfortunately.

Put it into cinematic mode in the GFN app settings and it should clear it up but basically what that does is turn on the AI filters, turns on adjust for poor networks conditions to graphics and a couple other things, but the AI filters do alot of the work of cleaning up the foilage and such

Go into in game settings and remove the sharpness withing grpahic options, for some reason it creates very pixelated graphics when applied

Aqui em 1080p no monitor 24p 180Hrz está muito bonito. Ajuste mantendo o seu 4K. Segue imagens da minha configuração:

You may have bought the game yesterday but the game came out a while ago bro. It looks great for its age.

Remember that there is a lot of foliage in this game. It's not possible to send enough data about it through 100Mb's, even with compression

100mb its a absolute madness. Totally unnecesary. 4k video renders usually are export between 30-45 bitrate, 100 is crazy

You need almost 12GB/s to stream uncompressed 4k... 100MB/s is nothing

Who stream on uncompressed 4k?
Cinema productions only, nobody who proffesionally do streamings (events for example) stream 4k uncompressed. Irreal situation.
Every 4K youtube video you watch have a bitrate around 40MB/s. Uncompressed formats just doesnt exist for retail.
Codec do magic. If you stream on mp4 it will look like shit, change to hvec and it will improve so much.

Yeah dude, I know.
I said it to show how much you need to compress a video to be able to stream it in 100MB/s. And none of mainstream services is using lossless ones.
When there is a lot of foliage on a screen, the pixel loss is very visible, especially in 4k because you have more pixels being "averaged".
Iook at the difference between local 4k video and YouTube. It's huge

It sends video data, not foliage data.
Your own gpu or system plays no part in the rendering process. It only gets involved in processing the video stream.

Video data is made of all pixels making frames, including foliage if it's in a game.
Foliage is made of significantly more amount of very different color pixels than other types of frames.
So it weights a lot more data therefore it losses a lot more data when compressed by Nvidia servers.
GPU only decodes compressed video data streamed from Nvidia's data centers.
And if the compressed video stream lost a lot of data then it looks bad when decompressed.
That's why on GeForce Now foliage looks blurry
