Finally got Downsampling to work on my AMD card!

the hide refresh rate is grayed out,can anyone tell how to create a custom res/i clicked the the setup inf and then saved the file what do i do next
 
hmmm not sure... Under mine it lets me untick it... Just make sure you install the modded monitor driver before you do anything then just follow every step of the instructions listed in the link I gave... Once I did all that it came up with windows does not support this resolution or something like that but once I unticked that box it worked perfectly and I could change to 1440p on my desktop and in games.
Make sure enable GPU scaling in the CCC isn't ticked also.

This is mine... as you can see... there is the custom 1440p res and the untick modes isn't greyed out..

Managed to get it to work, currently @1440p, but all the text appears blurry?

try lifting the HZ a little that clears Text up on the desktop it up for me using Nvidia control centre to downsample, IMO how much you can downsample and how good it looks depends a lot on your monitor aswell
At 1440p downsampling I'm @ 69HZ to match the clarity of 1080p at 60HZ for me

Seems to matter what i change it to, tried 57-60-65-70-75, it's still blurry.

Nevermind, hope i'll have enough cash come payday to treat myself to a 1440P monitor.
 
Downsampling is sweet. I can get 3200x1800 @ 60Hz on my 1080P monitor with ease and it does make games look super sharp. I recommend everyone to have a try at least :)
 
I'm tempted to try this. Reckon i can get 3840 pixels × 2160 on my 1440P DGM monitor? Or is that being too ambitious? I think i may need a better guide though as the one posted on Guru3D doesn't explain things very well and it only goes up to 2720x1530.

Since your already at a higher resolution than my old 1080 screen i'd assume its a way better screen and you should hit that easy, 3400x1850 at 50hz is my best

Go try and report back :)
 
I struggled to get anything high on my Dell 1440P Matt in truth and the TN panel on my Asus seems to go forever on big resolutions. I might try a full 4K res at 30Hz to see if it takes in a bit.

Edit:

Just tried but no go sadly :(

3200x1800 is my max but 60Hz and looks very good :)

Well i just tried 2720x1530 as instructed in that Guru3D thread. It worked but like Reece text when a bit blurry, like the aspect ratio was wrong.
 
Matt it seems adjusting the text size and "cleartext" helps a little, not perfect but much better

It's maybe a silly question but, is Downsampling to 1440P on my 1080P screen, no different to actually using a 1440P monitor? performance and IQ wise?

Reason i ask is because if so, it seems a great way to test your systems performance at higher resolutions before actually buying a new monitor first, at least then you know what sort of performance loss and IQ increase you can expect.

Very impressed by my cards performance so far at 1440P though, doing a great job on BF4 and Thief.
 
It displays the 1440p image on your 1080p monitor.Its a great way to test your gpu yes but for comparing iq not so much.If you buy a 1440p screen and its bigger then your 1080p the pixel density will be different so the iq is not the same.
 
Got a question...which are people using downsampling, when they can use CRU (Custom Resolution Utility)?

It's not downsampling, but rather it actually output the higher resolution on the monitor.

I've comparing Valley Bench on 1920 res vs 2560 res on my Samsung SA700 23", and on 2560 res the graphic/image definitely look sharper and objects seem to have more depth and got a more solid feel to it.
