Question DSR Factors

[serpentinedrummer]

So this was turned on in Nvidia settings, to 4x resolution I believe by default. I went ahead and turned of DSR Factors completely just because it seemed like something that could take a hit to performance.
But just wondering if this is something that should be on? or nah.

I'm not 100% sure what DSR Factors even does, as far as I can tell turning it off has made no difference at all, graphic wise on games or performance wise.
Although I only play at 1080p.

Specs:
Ryzen 7 2700
Gigabyte RTX 2080
16gb G.Skill Ripjaws Ram
Corsair 750w PSU

One of the more intriguing capabilities Nvidia introduced with the GeForce GTX 970 and 980 is a feature called Dynamic Super Resolution, or DSR, for short. DSR is a way for a fast GPU to offer improved image quality on a lower-resolution display. Nvidia bills it as a means of getting 4K quality on a 2K display.

Plus you shouldn't be worried about a performance hit, you have a ryzen 7 and a 2080.

Dynamic Super Resolution renders a game at a higher, more detailed resolution and intelligently shrinks the result back down to the resolution of your monitor, giving you 4K-quality graphics on an HD screen.
