blurry and sandy image in all games

Hello,
All games have a blurry and sandy image problem.
I have been trying for 6 months to solve it, I can't solve it.
I replaced the SSD but the problem was not solved.
It's not about in-game settings. Amd Software sharpening is off.
Please help me?
My English may not be good. I'm sorry.

Looks like monitor because those pics are perfectly fine IMHO
 
looks like 1080p to me.
 
Sandy? Are you talking about film grain?
 
Are you sure ?
Can you enlarge it and take a good look?
The same thing happened when I tried it with my brother's monitor.
Yes. Looking at it on my phone at full zoom. There are no anomalies. Blur can be resolution (too low) or AA. But this looks sharp. Are you running 2560x1080 by chance on a larger monitor diagonal?

No. 1920X1080

I think the op is taking about film grain as well. Turn it off in the game settings. I do this for every game. Also motion blur. Cant stand those two.
I always turn off motion blur and film grain but still the same.
 
As someone who games at 4k I can honestly say these look really blurry to me. God Of War and Uncharted look awful compared to what I am used to seeing. However, we need your full system specs to diagnose the issue properly. You can fill them in by clicking on your profile name at the top right and selecting system specs. Fill them in and save and then we might be able to help you.
 
My guess is that your monitor is the source of your problem.

Screenshots grab the data in the GPU's framebuffer, they don't magically put a camera in front of your monitor's screen. The grabbed images look fine.

Your first course of action should be to go into your monitor's controls and find the option to restore Factory Settings. Read the manual if you don't know how to operate those controls.

Isn't this blurry?

Well I use a 1080p screen and wear glasses, I've looked at the pictures twice and cant see anything wrong.

Dude, it's blurry when I look at it on my phone. It's also blurry when I try it with my brother's monitor. Could it be the HDMI cable?
 
How can it be the HDMI cable if it's blurry on your phone as well?

Either your vision is bad or you have a weird expectation or what 1080p images should look like. These images all look fine.
 
i see 1920x1080 pics and then others with ultrawide ratio ????
Did you messed with nvidia panel on windows??
 
in nvidia settings turn off in image scaling you have the sharpen option/filmgrain turn that shit off if on.

I'm using RX6600.

If there is a problem with the monitor, shouldn't it look blurry outside the game?
It's only like this in games.

I added my system specs.
 
I think that a part of what OP is about is Chromatic Aberration, one of the biggest sins of modern video game visuals IMO.
 
The text in the final image is sharp. This is it zoomed at 200%.

Text looks sharp, textures look 'soft'. Something in the settings for the game is off.
 
What could it be?
Internal Render resolution is lower; TAA, FXAA...huge number of possibilities here. But again, images look fine. If anything these are wrong settings.

FSR? Anything like a global setting that lowers render resolution is suspect; maybe you target a certain FPS and it dynamically lowers quality.

As for film grain, I dont see this anywhere in your shots.

I got it. FSR always close. FPS stabilization in uncharted at 120 by the way God of War really has no blur? Is it just me?
 
IMO, some of those screenshots look vaguely blurry (zoomed close on my phone), but nothing that isn't entirely explained by game settings and resolution. On screen text and UI elements are pin-sharp, which means if there is excessive unsharpness it's a rendering thing. The first two screenshots look perfectly fine, while the latter two are marginally blurry - but there's also a question of visual style that plays into this, as not all games aim for a very sharp image. Uncharted seems to use some form of lens distortion/chromatic aberration filter that makes the sides of the screen look slightly unsharp, but that's a stylistic choice - it's a game that goes for an Indiana Jones-like old film look. GoW just looks slightly low resolution. Are you running any kind of resolution scaling? It's worth playing around with post processing settings to see if any of those change anything. Obviously also see if there are any driver-level global settings enabled that could affect this.
 
Disable adrenalin. There's a setting that I found does no good. I forget what it's called but I actually disabled adrenalin altogether.
