1080p ultrawide?

[LoganBlocks3]

so i have a native 1440p ultrawide and i want to turn it down to 1080p. if you do the math, 21:9 should make it 2520x1080p, but all the native 1080p uw monitors are 2560x1080. which is the correct resolution for UWFHD?

2560x1080. That's the resolution all the 1080p UW monitors I have used or looked at are.

ye its weird tho because if you multiply 1080(21/9) you get 2520

Do you not have FSR/DLSS as an option? Manually changing the res is going to look like crap.

yea well I don't right now, but I am going to order a rx6600 from gigabyte today so that will. although i thought a significant increase like 1080-> 1440p did not look good and those should only be used like 10% increase. also, does it work for ultrawide?

Looks like it's just for marketing as most of the UW resolutions are not actually exactly 21:9:

^^^ especially changing to a resolution that is not exactly 1/2 or 2x the native res, it'll often look really bleary. If you have high enough ppi it won't (I can run 1440p on my 4K 27" panel and it won't look too terrible) but a 1440p ultrawide likely isn't sharp enough.

It does.

I'm not totally following what you're asking here.

It does. 

thanks but one more thing, how to I configure the fsr on an amd card? should I set the native res to 1080 and the fsr res to 1440 or the other way around? I havent played with it yet idek how it works

For FSR you don't touch the resolution in game, leave it at native. Enable FSR and set a mode. Quality, Balanced, or Performance. Each will render the game at a lower resolution then upscale it. 

 

For games that don't support FSR, you can use RSR. Using that it will need to be enabled in Adrenaline then it includes a nice little step by step guide for how to make sure its being used in game.

Alright thank you!
