Nvidia's DSR Feature Won't Work In Borderless-Windowed Mode

[PsychoPsyops]

Nvidia's DSR feature won't work in Borderless-Windowed Mode.
For me, it only works in Fullscreen Mode and Windowed Mode, but not Borderless-WIndowed Mode, for 3D Applications.

Is there a reason for this?

Thank you for your time in advance.

As far as I know DSR is applied to everything (global settings).

This includes your desktop as well.

When I set it up on my system it is a global setting. I haven't updated my drivers though... so maybe it's changed to a game specific profile?

DSR isn't applied to everything and isn't applied to the desktop, just the application.

The reason I believe it is applied to everything is because it is a global 3d setting.
When I turned it on my monitor went black for a few seconds, then came back on.

There are some posts about borderless window issues with World of Warcraft.

Some other users posted about it applying to the entire desktop- I am not an authority on DSR, so don't hold me to that.

Global 3D setting does not mean applies to everything. Global 3D setting means it'll be the default, or user-set default, for each and every application. Also, it seems like the users who had reported it affecting their entire screen is experiencing either a bug, or they had Alt-Tabed out of the application, which presents the whole desktop being affected, even though it should not be.

Anyway, I had come to the conclusion that some games just aren't optimized for certain resolutions, thus not being able to conform to both DSR and borderless-windowed mode.
