Questions about DSR in nvidia control panel.

[Guest]

Im playing Far Cry 4 now and it looks amazing. I am curious about DSR and my question is am i supposed to check all boxes or just one. The slider defaulted at 33% when I checked 1.5x native resolution and it stayed at 33% when I checked 4.00x. Can someone explain this to me please.

Each box you check enables a different resolution. I usually enable them all just to have some flexibility.

check all of them so you can choose which one you want to use. it gives you more variety of resolutions

My monitor is 1920x1080 so I guess I would just pick a resolution higher then that in game and see which one looks best?

Sorry I posted this reply from my phone and it logged me in on my other account.

Yeah, you can do that, just be aware that as you increase the resolution you will need more and more horsepower in order to maintain a good framrerate. You're unlikely to be able to downsample from 4x 1080p aka 3820x2160 on modern titles unless you're running an extreme high end SLI setup. 1.7x 1080p which is 2560x1440 is a better compromise that won't require an insane amount of GPU horsepower. Far Cry 4 is a quite demanding game, so you may have to not downsample at all if you want to maintain ultra settings and 60FPS depending on which card you have.

My GPU is a Strix 980 and I do plan on getting a second one eventually. I'll play with the resolution and see what happens. Thank you for the response.
