I have AMD APU A10-7800 and monitor Philips 227E4QHAD 21.5" Full HD, using HDMI port.
Now i see into the driver settings on Radeon R7 (integrated in the CPU) new options like "enable virtual super resolution" and "GPU upscaling"
So i did it and now in Windows 10 i see i'm running at 2560x1440 pixels, but i see no better image quality then before.
Often that i tried to put 2560x1440 into driver settings too, but give me an error-the monitor does not support 2560x1440. Look at the screenshot.

GPU upscaling-is this do something about the image quality or it's only about the games.
So my question. Is it have some difference super resolution on or off, because i see no image quality difference.

VSR and GPU upscaling will enable you to increase the resolution of your desktop, and also within games, although this might have an impact on the framerate, as the GPU has x2 the work to do on 1440p. If it is working correctly, then you should see a noticeable difference in the image quality. Icons and text on the desktop, & within games will become a lot smaller if you increase the VSR to 1440p over 1080p. In your screenshot, you have increased the size of your desktop icons, so it is hard to tell the difference.

You must insure that you set you monitor to "maintain aspect ratio" and also "keep centered timings"

If you use FRAPs or any on screen display framerate counters, you can notice it in games because the FPS counter will be...

Thanks for fast reply.
Yes it's 2560x1440 now in Windows 10 control panel-resolution and the icons was very small, i made them bigger after resolution changed. Excuse my poor english. But i see no difference into image and video quality, when a'm looking YouTube clips for exampe, it's even better without VSR in my oppinion.
Where to set "maintain aspect ratio" and also "keep centered timings" In "custom resolution/digital flat panel" i see no option?
Anyway i will keep VSR, because you said it have difference into the quality, but will be happy and someone else to have oppinion here.

You will see the difference with Youtube vidoes if you change the quality up to 1440p if the video allows it, and then go to fullscreen. Search for 1440p in youtube.

You should also notice a large improvement with it in games. Especially with AA - Antialiasing switched on. I run Fallout 4 & The Witcher 3 at 1440p VSR, and the difference is amazing. There are no jagged lines at all with MSAA switched on. It can have a large impact with your frame rate though.

OK, i get it, off course the videos must runs at 1440p to see difference, but where are the "maintain aspect ratio" and also "keep centered timings" settings?
If nobody answer i will accept your answer as solution.

Hi, I have a R7 370 and have played with VSR. I set up 1440p while still displaying in 1080p.

Videos and game cut scenes show no change. However in Mad Max, the difference was instant. I even turned off anti-aliasing as there were so many pixels being resized at 1080p so it was as if it was antialiasing anyway. FPS was not impacted at all.

Other games showing overhead maps like Windward or city simulations also showed better details without (noticeable) FPS drops.

Some games did slow down as they were more GPU intensive. I'd simply activate VSR only on select games...

I never play games. Thanks anyway.
I just wondered if this "virtual super resolution" is some catch, how much AMD is super, or it's realy works, because i still see no difference, even on 1440p, but will accept your oppinions and mark as solved this rule.
About the maintain ratio and centered timings-may be this options are avaliable only if you use external PCI-E Radeon R7. With my APU integrated R7, just see no these menus into the driver (one of the letest versions by the way).
Last question. Can i make VSR more than 2560x1440p with the same APU A10-7800 and TV 46" BRAVIA® EX710 Series. This is into my another room PC, connected to this TV via HDMI?

its basically just like Nvidias DSR...Dynamic Super Resolution. Basically up scales and then pushes it down to your resolution using the upscale as a kind of antialiasing. Only really good for old games like dark souls and dishonoured for example.

Also for example if your at 1080p its recommended you use the x4 option so the effect is even otherwise their is blurring and weird artefacts but that is 4K and is upper demanding on the GPU as your asking it to render at x4 what 1080p is so that x4 the pixels.

Granted it is lower, but I'm using a 390X so I get around 45-120....averaging around 75fps in Fallout 4. And that's Vsync off then capping it to 120 with Rivatuner. If I don't cap the FPS. It goes crazy fast indoors, and lock picking is like Benny Hill speed. The FPS indoors without cap is in the 200-400s at times....absolutely nuts.

The Witcher is a little bit more intensive, and it varies from 35-90ish but all-in-all, its pretty smooth and sweet. It just looks awesome with it on. I was considering buying a 1440p monitor......now I feel like I don't really have to.....although I would still like Freesync.
