Does anyone find that they can't dsr to 1440p? It's 1527 or something?

I just let the Geforce thing do whatever with games, seems to be working and everything is always maxed out with DSR sometimes.

you can use dsr though http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/dsr/technology

Forgot about that, thanks.

I can

did you tick all the dsr resolutions in the nvidia drivers? cos you probably missed one if you don't see proper 1440p

I haven't touched any settings, it automatically came on.

Tick all the boxes

savagesam117 · 4 Jul 2015 at 22:10

How on earth did you get to that?

arknor · 4 Jul 2015 at 22:13

Right click desktop > nvidia control panel

savagesam117 · 4 Jul 2015 at 22:15

Really? No way! I can't change any of the display settings in there. Meh, i don't care. It plays fine just thought it was weird.

at all? maybe reinstall the drivers if you can't change any of the settings

or maybe it's because you set geforce experience to optimise your games for you without asking

Two stock MSI reference on the way & have ordered two EVGA AIO coolers to fit onto them once they arrive a week or so later

.

Looking forward to some 4k gaming tomorrow.

I'm looking to buy one of the top cards, Which one you choose from these?

1. EVGA Classified
2. KFA2 HoF
3. Zotac AMP! Extreme

I would go for the HOF but I'm getting the Zotac since I can't wait anymore (and it's 50£ less).
All the manufacturers have so many years of experience by now that every card it's a safe bet. I'm sure even the Palit Super Jetstream, which we've never discussed here, will turn out great.

P.S. Even buying the Zotac for 509 and the EVGA AIO cooler (about 90£) doesn't seem a bad idea.

I want another for 1080p because it will look cool

Strife212 · 5 Jul 2015 at 01:40

You can run games at 4K DSR I suppose.

Anyone else running with a 3570K?

I was keeping any eye on the GPU load in GPU-Z while playing BF4 last night and the highest it got was was about 80%, most of the time it was sitting around 60% - 70%.

Is there any way of increasing this, I have already clocked my CPU to 4.4GHz, should I be looking for an i7?

What were your in game settings
What resolution do you game at
What were your fps
Do you have fcat results

I max everything at 1080p my card runs at full pelt most of the time.

Never lower than 90fps.

Although I now limit fps to 120...and it never goes below :-)

unlike my old 680 sli rig.

CPU at 4.4 wouldn't be the cause..

Thread bottle neck.

Need an i7 in there, it's something me and matt tested a while back on multicard setups.

Should be able to grab a 26/700/3770k relatively cheap these days I would have thought

turn on the graph and see if the cpu is bottlenecking the gfx.

I highly doubt that CPU can bottleneck a 980 Ti.
