Nvidia DSR

There will be a difference as the games will run at a higher resolution. What resolution are you setting when you change the DSR settings?
 
same as AMD, enable it in the driver control panel and in-game under video options, set a res higher than 1080 (which wouldn't have been previously possible), if you are doing that already and still don't see a difference...... :shrugs:
 
I have to admit that when I’ve tried out DSR on my 24” 1080p monitor I’ve not really been able to notice any quality difference.

Possible 24” isn’t really the best size screen for this feature as everything is just too small, so will give it another go when my Swift arrives.
 
Use the alternative method of downsampling with Nvidia Control Panel. Lots of guides on Google and better than DSR as it gives more options and apparently DSR uses some kind of gaussian blur effect that normal downsampling does not.

Years ago Currys dealers said to view Blu-ray movies you really need at least 40 inch HDTVs to notice quality difference to have best experience. 1920x1080 desktop is quite small on 32 inch HDTV in my bedroom so 125% DPI upscaled solved it, when I tried 4K DSR and OMG 4K desktop is so tiny at 125% DPI but it still very small at full 150% DPI. On 40 inch HDTV in living room, 1920x1080 desktop is incredible with huge icons at just 100% DPI and 4K DSR is amazing still on 100% DPI I can see quality difference that was impossible to see on 32 inch HDTV because it was quite small for 1080p and absolutely tiny for 4K.
 
some games it looks a lot better than others
im guessing that has some to do with texture sizes too
 
I bet he's just enabling it in the nv control panel but then not actually selecting a high res in the actual game. I'm saying that as I did exactly the same and was confused for a while!! It's not obvious.
 
nv control panel > manage 3d settings > dsr factors, tick them all.


Launch a game, change resolution in game, select ones higher than 1080p
 
I noticed some games actually set themselves to DSR for my card, if you use optimal settings in your Geforce experience software. Tomb Raider is one which springs to mind.
I have to be honest it really does look, well just odd really, using DSR.

I game at 1080p on a 24" monitor and when its set to a higher res in game it just doesn't look as good as standard 1080p to me. Almost blurry to a degree. Hence i don't see the point. It definatley impacts performance as well. All things considered personally i wouldn't bother using it.

Just a guess, but I'm going to say you haven't turned down 'DSR Smoothness' to zero.???

The default setting is 30% and will add a blurred, anti aliased filter to the image.

Is that defo true? 0 works best

I found the default setting worked best overall - while you can get a sharper overall looking image by changing it down any more than a very slight change up or down from default starts to make smaller text look odd (with the inconsistent pixel widths obvious) whereas at default its passably close as an approximation of what text would look like at that resolution.
