1080p @ 200% Resolution Scaling the same as 4K?

1080p @ 200% Resolution Scaling the same as 4K? Or are they different?

Upscaling will never look as good as native 4k. It will look better, but not by much.

Ah ok thank you. So 2k is would be the same as 1080p @ 150% resolution scaling?

1080p 150% is a bit more than 2k.

No. You are still seeing a 1080p image, but it has been rendered at a higher resolution. Effectively. It's pretty much the same as DSR, where the GPU will render at a higher resolution, and then down-sample to the output resolution. Resolution scaling is a per-game basis, which has the potential to either be better or worse than Nvidia's blanket DSR solution, so it depends on the game as to which one will look better. Personally, I think  DSR is better since you can fine-tune it in the Nvidia control panel to change the smoothness of the image. For surround setups, the only way to render the image higher than output is through in-game frame scaling.

Hope this helps.
