Stellar Blade is one of the few games that benefits greatly from 8K

Stellar Blade has gained attention for its performance at 8K resolution with DLSS Quality settings, although players have reported significant specular aliasing issues, particularly on metallic surfaces in environments like the Hall of Records. This aliasing affects both PC and PS5 versions of the game, indicating a widespread graphical concern. The comparison between 4K with DLAA and 8K with DLSS Quality shows that 8K provides a more stable and refined image, enhancing clarity and detail in characters and environments. Enabling HDR can worsen specular aliasing, and players may need to increase internal resolution to alleviate these effects. High-end GPUs, such as the NVIDIA RTX 5090, allow Stellar Blade to run over 100 FPS at 8K with maximum settings and DLSS Quality.
