Help with Nvidia DSR

[LikeABossNT]

About a week or two ago I optimized some of my games using Nvidia GeForce Experience and it set the resolution to 1440p. Today I went to play Borderlands, but it said that I have unsaved settings and I saw that Nvidia had set the resolution back to 1080p.
I went to Nvidia Experience to see if I could put it back to 1440p, but now it only allows me to set few older games to 1527p and the newer ones to 1080p.
I could easily run most of my games (like Metro 2033 Redux) maxed out at 1440p +60fps before.
Please tell me how to fix this, thanks

Go into your Nvidia control panel and check your DSR Factors settings. The box for x1.78 should be checked, if it's not you won't be able to downsample from 1440p.

You can also try setting the resolution within the game manually rather than using the GeForce Experience software, with DSR on you should see the higher resolutions in the game's options menu. Be sure to set GeForce Experience to not automatically optimize games by unchecking the box under preferences that says 'automatically apply optimal settings updates', that might be causing your issues. DSR is a very new feature that wasn't available on most cards before a couple of weeks ago, and as such the GeForce Experience optimized settings do not include DSR resolutions, even if you have a card that can handle it.

Thanks for the help
Nvidia Experience still wont set games to 1440p automatically, but I can set it from the game menu.
Also do you know why the text in game gets smaller and smaller the higher I set the resolution and is there any fix to this?

The decreasing size of the text is an effect of increasing the resolution. Most games have their UI elements and text scaled towards a 1080p resolution or lower, and they can get quite small as the resolution increases above that, it can make gaming at 4k somewhat challenging. For some games you can adjust the UI scaling in the options, or you may have to fiddle around with a config file to increase the text size, but for some others you're just going to have to put up with the smaller text size.

4k monitors only recently became available, so most titles from before 2013 or so simply don't have their UIs designed to scale properly for resolutions above 1440p. Even some games that came out last year like Bioshock Infinite have UI scaling problems at 4k resolution. Hopefully this will be less of an issue for games that come out in the future now that higher resolution displays are becoming somewhat more common.

Ok, thanks again Supernova
I guess that I have to play my older games at 1080p-1440p and newer higher
