I kind of posted about this here. You aren't going to get a ton of detail in a native 1080p render. You can, but you've gotta know what you're doing with texture maps and especially lighting. This is why a lot of devs render in 4K/2K and then downscale to 1080 for the actual compiled game. It'll allow you to retain detail whiling keeping a manageable file size.
That being said, if you're looking for pure skin detail for Daz, then Daz Original (e.g. Michael 8.1, etc.) 8.1 (and/or 9) models are going to be your best option. Especially at 1080p. Kooki99, Raiya, Mousso (to some extent) are all non-Daz Original vendors who put out good/very good 8.1 skins.
The key for 8.1 is definitely the Detail Normal Maps and the ability to tile them. It really tends to bring out a lot in the skin detail. You'll also want to give some reflection/slight sheen to the skin itself via either Top Coat or Specular Lobe Roughness.

The patch Saint_RNG replied with is what you need. The same vendors I listed (except for maybe Kooki) all have high quality G8 stuff, as well. The Daz Original stuff is still almost always going to be better than anything by an external vendor, though, as they're usually hired/outsourced bodies who tend to be very competent at what they're doing.
It's a lot of extra work, but Texturing.xyz is some of the best skins you can get, but as implied aren't very native to Daz without a fair bit of work. There's also

for Daz, but only work with 8.1 models.Gimp has filter which create normal map from height map. You can use any texture to create nm - partial or whole texture.
One of best details (skin detail not wrinkles) you can find on
Golden Palace works good with G9 but with G8/G8.1 looks good in default pose. If you make it visible (bending/spreading legs) dissortions are much more important then nm maps

Maybe I'm missing something, but based on what? Ergou models are some of the worst I've used. Decent hair assets and figure shapes, but the detail isn't really there.
Not morphs/shape but maps. Good normal maps and roughness or specular maps can be used to obtain great skin surface.
Maps/textures which gives surface details can be used on most figures with the same uv.
Some normal, bump or diplacement maps gives wrinkles/skin folds and fit to one character but here you have only microdetails.
I cannot find good examples of in my render library but I found some render where surface with the same color (no texture, just diffuse color) looks different with 2 normal maps. Look at clothes. I used no textures, just simple bump maps - strip on cloth and some disortion on trims.
edit:
I created 3 renders
sample01 - just texture without any normal nor bump maps
sample02 - added Victoria8.1 roughness (V8.1R) map as a bump map - effect goosebumps
sample03 - V8.1R map + normal map - effect goosebumps + cellulite/glute crease

Clothes used on renders have smotth modifier. You must move hands over clothes.
