DSR applies sharpening - when downsampling you always have to sharpen -

What sharpening is that ?

Rroff · 9 Dec 2014 at 20:40

Purely as an example due to imgur probably going to eat some of the detail and motion between image grabs slightly changes the scene - zoomed in pixel detail of the top of a control tower in eve online:

First 3840x2160, 2nd 2560x1440 no native DSR, 3rd DSR*, 4th what you get taking the screenshot from DSR and resizing it using browser/image editing. Notice the difference in the stars, etc.

* Not actual DSR just using the same technique sans any specific nVidia tweaks or settings.

Can someone answer some of my questions on VSR?
So i mainly play BF4 on a 27" Samsung 120hz monitor 1080p which i cap to 100fps and have custom Graphic setting in game to stay at 100fps.
So i tried just selecting VSR and i can change my resolution on my desktop to doub;e what it was and the same in bf4 so thinks look sharper.
ALso i have the setting next to this in CCC about using the GPU scaling options to increase the resolution on the desktop, what difference doe sit make if i choose this?
I dont use any scaling in BF4 its just at 100%
Thanks in advance

People have been posting resized screenshots in the high res screenshot thread for years do we really need them in here as well ?

I guess not and I bet the high res screenshot didn't have this much trouble! :rolleyes:

Any type of sharpening you want.

when you downsize an image it will always become softer, therefore you always apply sharpening back to get the microcontrast around edges lost due to the downsampling process.

USM is usually the sharpening technique of choice but you could use an inverse-Gaussian filter for example.

And trouble I didn't start just to point out.

I was just showing a stunning :cool:

way to display the images. Got jumped on fast by nbots man.

I downloaded Gimp and had a quick play. Anything I should know about resizing and what settings to use please?

Nah got a 290x now

Yes sorry i'm slow whats a Nbot?
I do like the thread idea but i think it will take a day or two for the VSR results to come through more i think

nbot is anyone who owns nVidia. They instantly become the enemy and you must never agree with them ever and argue with them at every opportunity.

Am sorry but who started all this? Because it wasn't me... I was simply defending my method a method that is just the same as yours but takes less time and effort...

So how was I in the wrong?

Yes there is some softening but the 13-tap gaussian filter is not a sharping filter, its a blending filter.

Nvidia uses a 13-tap gaussian filter. This downscaling filter is probably quite similar to the filters used to scale video down from higher resolutions, like when showing a 1080p video on a 720p display. The fact that this filter uses 13 taps, or samples, is a dead giveaway about how it works: it grabs samples not just from within the target pixel area but also from outside of the pixel boundary.

We'll get into some examples shortly, but the effect of blending in info from neighboring pixels is easy enough to anticipate. This downscaling filter will blur or soften images somewhat, granting them a more cinematic look.

Thanks Greg

, Sad though to me when people are grouped as such due to what they own, Its the time of happyness and merriment May you all have a great day/night no matter what brand gpu you have

Martini1991 · 9 Dec 2014 at 22:34

I don't own an Nvidia GPU.

Although I kind of wish I did

Well at least you apologised, so that's something. Well done

And I did say on the first page to post how you like (to try and get the thread to do what I wanted) but then you get all rude and finally started calling people nbots, so pretty childish really.

Maybe better if you didn't get so heated and chilled a bit. Insults are uncalled for.

Triss, you should join us on a Wednesday night on TS and BF4... Some real stick given to either brand in the jovial sense it is meant. Nobody cares what GPU his fellow gamers are using and we all want to play and have fun. Sadly, some here don't work that way and end up getting personal and all for the sake of what GPU they have.... A real shame really.
