More importantly, it looked like the PC community was finally getting the long-awaited due.

To make your visuals pleasing to the eye and enhance the PC graphics, the first highly recommended method is using the post-processing method. It basically adds a brush-up to the graphics rendered. To understand the function, you can relate it to the functioning of photo filters. As photo filters work to enhance the image in post-processing, these unreal engines 5 settings would brush up your dynamics of the graphics. These traits include motion blur quality, bloom quality, flare, depth of field, color fringe, grain quantization, and many more. All you need to do is copy and paste some commands to an additional Tekken 8 demo file on your PC. 

  • Procedure

Look for a file with extension ‘engine.ini’ which you’ll find in your Tekken 8 folder on the PC. Once you open the extension, you’ll see a lot of codes already appearing on the interface. No worries, just add two bar spaces above the existing codes and copy-paste the commands: 

r.BloomQuality=0

r.MotionBlurQuality=4

r.MotionBlur.Amount=0.30

r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0

r.Tonemapper.Quality=2

r.MaxAnisotropy=16

r.AmbientOcclusion.Method=1

r.LensFlareQuality=2

r.DepthOfFieldQuality=2

r.DepthOfField.MaxSize=100

Make sure you set these commands to read-only or else the game can make changes to the commands. 

2. Reshade CAS Sharpening 

The reshading of CAS would help the players improve their image sharpness. Players can reduce the blue side effects of temporal upscaling such as DLSS, FSR, and TSR, which you’ll be using in Tekken 8 by default. For the unaware, advanced DLSS algorithms help determine detailing to the graphics to add to the realism value depending on the resolution of your screen.

The first highly recommended change is to include the sharpening filter for the game. Traditionally, the Tekken franchise has used the sharpening filter historically but not with the latest version Tekken 8. 

All you need to do is download the reshade sharpening tool from chrome, can visit through the link. Upon completion, make sure it’s running for Tekken 8, and more importantly, check if CAS is ticked off in the program. 

3. Graphic Card settings (Recommended) 

  • For NVIDIA card users 

Ensure your DLSS software is updated to the latest note. It’s actually a DL file that can be updated for the best late version. To update your DLSS to the latest version, you can download the chrome extension from the link. NVIDIA DLSS DLL 3.5.10 is the recommended version for the best graphics on your NVIDIA cards. 

  • For AMD users 

Experiment with the VSR feature in the control panel. 

Go to your control panel, and look for a setting called DSR factors. Now if you’re above a 2,000 series card, enable the top 2 DL scaling settings. But if you’re on a lower series card, move the settings to 2 times in the Legacy Settings section.

The only difference is AI enhancement, the DL setting for higher series cards would use the intelligence to brush up detailing while it might only cause resolution issues for the lower series frames.
