resolution scale

[machine506]

first of all i apologies for my bad english 

second of all does "resolution scale" work same as changing a resolution from 1080p to 1440p

 

i know that if i put my resolution from 1080p to 1440p it will make the gpu load more and the cpu load less but what about resolution scale like in rainbow six siege or far cry 5 thare is a setting called resolution scale i can put it from 0.5 to 2.0 i know that it makes the game render at higher res but does it still work same as putting 2k or 4k 

 

my question is does : resolution scale make the cpu load less at higher res ?

Resolution scale does not change the final framebuffer output, it only changes the internal render resolution of, generally, all of the 3D elements. So if you changed the resolution scale in a game at 1080p to a 1440p equivalent, it won't look the same as native 1440p.

Changing the resolution to a higher one, in any case, won't really lessen the CPU load, moreso it'd make the GPU work harder.

The "CPU load" only "goes down" if your GPU goes from 120fps to 60fps, as your CPU doesn't need to work as hard then.

 

Changing the native resolution down also affects things like text on screen, using a resolution scale in a game tends to leave things like text sharp.
