@satsworld Hi;
It's been over two months since I have brought this to your attention. Are you looking into this?
I can give you two solutions for this which should be relatively easy to implement in the rendering pipeline.
FIrst: Let users choose their maximum and minimum internal resolutions which would be then upscaled using the game's TAA to its final output resolution. Which is a bit more robust.
Or Second: This is the relatively easier one, choose the internal resolutions for the low, mid and high TAA to 66%, 83% and 100% instead of the 85%, 91%, 100% values.
Note that rendering the game at 80% resolution scaling brings the internal resolutions in parity with PS5. But the game does not use its TAA upscaling to upscale the image to 4k. It only upscales the image to 80% of 4k which is significantly blurrier than the PS5 output.
Would love to get some comments on this from the tech team. Or at least some workaround through the config file would be greatly appreciated.

@ubi-borealis Well. We got a title updare today and the game still renders at an internal lock of 1836p minimum at 4k. Any news from the dev team?

Oh and also a bunch of crashes!

Hi, I am quite enjoying Valhalla. But slight performance drops in settlements keep it from being perfect for me. On consoles XSX and PS5, this game scales down internally to 1440p on a 4k output according to Digital Foundry, however on pc its limited to 1836p. Myself and I believe a lot of pc gamers would really appreciate if we could also go down dynamically to 1440p minimum using adaptive 'antialiasing' option while playing at 4k.

@ubi-woofer Well? Anything from the dev team? Make the dynamic resolution to go for 66% minimum res scale and not 85% please.

@ubi-woofer What about the artificial 85% resolution scale limit using DRS? Anything from the dev team? Ubisoft is releasing riders republic with the same resolution restrictions and I am telling you now it's a mistake! Fix it before it's too late.

@ubi-woofer I think everything you need to know is in the DF video I posted above. Still I am going to post my benchmarks for different cases here so you can spot the resolution requirements for this game on pc at 4k. My descriptions of the images will be below the images respectively so keep that in mind.




This is at 4K with 60 fps adaptive antialiasing setting dropping internal resolution to 1836p only.



This is at 0.8 res scale at 4k so the internal resolution matches with the PS5's internal resolution. However as the TAA doesn't upscale the image to 4k and only upscales the image to 80% of 4k. The final image is significantly blurrier than the ps5 image. (yes I also own a ps5 copy.)


Now this is the game rendering at 1440p with high antialiasing, so internally at 1440p as well, no dynamic resolution here.



Now this is the game running at 4k with in game 30 fps lock and vsync on. Notice the RTSS stats on the top left corner how the game locks to 31 fps instead of 30 fps. Doesn't really look smooth on a 60hz panel.

I hope you understand now that the main performance hog is the internal lock to 0.85 resolution scale (or 1836p at 4k) at low antialiasing setting instead of the 1440p lowest internal resolution at PS5.

You can look at the DF video to understand the lack of Ultra clutter option on PC.

If you need a video proof the DF video is right there.

I don't know how else or how more elaborately I can explain this simple topic to you and other ubi members on this forum. Let's see if you guys can fix this on PC in the foreseeable future.

I swear us PC players are not entitled pricks. But at least we want parity with the next gen consoles as a desktop even with a 500$ gpu costs a lot more than a next gen console in these days of chip shortages.

@ubi-mark I am going to link digital foundry's analysis and comparison video here in the mean-time and you can take a look here to get the general idea.

1. Resolution restrictions on PC. Using the DRS (antialiasing) we are restricted to 1836p compared to 1440p on PS5. HUGE gap in gpu horsepower requirements at near(lower than) PS5 settings (derived in the video linked above).
2. Lack of an ultra clutter option that is by default used in PS5. (mentioned in the video)
3. 30 FPS lock locks to 31 FPS resulting in a juddery gameplay on a 60hz panel.
4. cutscene camera stutters. (mentioned in the video)

@krogululus Give a thumbs up to my post earlier so it gets better visibility. Maybe then ubisoft decides to do something. Disjointed posts like this are not gonna get us anywhere I feel. I discuss the changes in the post Dynamic Resolution Scaling | Ubisoft Forums.

@ubi-mark Hi, still no fixes. So could you maybe add this to the reported issue megathread by @Ubi-Woofer?
Also the 30 fps in game cap for pc locks the game to 31 fps instead, resulting in visible judders on a 60hz display. Would really love an update from the tech-team about the dynamic res issue!
