Hello,

I watched this video a few months ago (on a 1080p monitor) and was blown away:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGyaR2sSBkA

Now I understand that it was originally created on a 4k resolution and the video is best viewed on a 4k monitor. But I have never seen it on a 4k screen, and I thought watching the video in 1080p was life like.

I recently upgraded to a GTX 1070 and have a 1080p monitor at home. I put Battlefront on ultra graphics settings, installed the SweetFX real life mod, and it runs at 80+ FPS. It looks good, but it doesnt look as good as the video.

Since I was watching the video in 1080p all along I thought it would look the same when I play it on 1080p, but it doesn't.

Am I missing something?
 
Solution
I personally dont own the game so I cant speak for how the settings work, but it may be that you cant set it to 4k unless you have a 4k monitor.
My guess is they are running at 4k with the rendering maxed.

4K settings? Is that the section where it says you can make the rendering higher but it will slow the game down? Yea, I tried to do that. I put it at 200% and it brought my FPS down to 45, but it still didnt look like the video.
