Cannot use DSR

[max_payne32]

Guys i need help...i own a 1080p monitor..but i cannot use dsr..i have the latest drivers and i own a gtx 970...dunno why for some reason..in the 3d manage settings...my native resolution is being shown as 1024*768..although i own a full hd monitor...and when i turn on DSR....the highest resolution in the options is 1920*1080..where as others get 1440p and 4k resolutions...why is this happening..any ideas?

So you can not see this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHu7K1plz8U

The 1.75 factor normally works very well as that is roughly the difference between 1920x1080 and 2560x1440.

Then when you get into your game you should be able to choose 2560x1440 and enjoy the improved image quality.

I hate to ask the stupid question, but I am trying to make sure we have done all the simple things first.

I am guessing you know that its not the desktop resolution you can change, so what games have you tried for that 2560x1440 resolution?

 

[Justin Millard]

You change the resolution in your game, and not on the desktop.

 

[Justin Millard]

Kind of surprised that it has downgraded your desktop to a lower resolution than what I presume can normally reach 1920x1080 though, if that is what is happening. You would need someone who knows more about it than I do to help you there.

of course mate..i changed the resolution in the game only...firstly i tried changing it in saint rows 4 gat to hell....then dragon age inquisition...then i thought these games might not support DSR...so i tried those games which are used for benchmarks..i downloaded crysis 3...metro last night..bioshock infinite..etc...in none of those games DSR worked...in some the screen went black...while in others everything became abnormally big which u see when you do not use DSR....

 

[Justin Millard]

What monitor do you have? It might be that your monitor does not support DSR yet?

I am trying to understand this..geforce experience says 1080p which is true...but nvidia control panel says native reso is 720p

Hey I have to go now. Best of luck to you mate with working this out. I will be back tomorrow if it is not already solved by then.

What? monitor?? i wasnt aware that DSR works on a few monitors and doesnt work on others?? i own a samsung 1080p 60 hz normal full hd monitor...and i have not seen any monitor which comes with the label "supports DSR"..i was under the impression that it supports all HD monitors?

 

[Justin Millard]

Alright. I had just been hearing that it doesn't work with most HDTVs and some people have found it does not work unless they disable SLI and G Sync. Do you have G Sync enabled on your monitor?

 

[Justin Millard]

Sorry about not being much help. Is it working these days?

Hey...this is a very old thread :O yes, its working....all i needed to do was buy a DVI cable instead of VGA ....DSR works perfectly now

 

[Justin Millard]

Yes brilliant. Cabling was the only idea I had left haha.

I picked you as the solution for a laugh. Well deserved. Glad to hear that frustrating problem is solved.

[Justin Millard]

Hahah yeah that would do it.
