Related question - running a gtx780 with a 1080p monitor, what sort of multiplier could i use DSR for without hurting fps too much?

 

Or what would be the nearest bump up with DSR to make it 1440p?

1.5 or 1.25 would be good things to try

1.5 would be 1440p (more or less), but I'd check off all the 'factors' and then just set each game to whatever resolution is playable.

is it just me or DSR makes the game look fuzzier? cause that is what is happening to me, when i run it at 1440p and 4k on a 1080p monitor with DSR

How many computer programmers does it take to change a light bulb?


None, that's a hardware problem.  :D

Well, the best mode for DSR is x4 (that means 4k for 1080p display), because scaling is very nice, when there are exacly four pixels to choose color from. :) In other modes you would get fractions to calculate the color and I would recommend using simple AA to get things a bit sharper. You can also play with the DSR sharpness setiing, it's default at 33%, but maybe you would need to increase it.

edit: rookie English mistake, count -> calculate

owls are awesome

That's mostly impossible to answer without knowing what game you're talking about. The older/easier to run the game is, the higher the resolution you'll be able to run while maintaining a given framerate.

 

That said, a GTX 780 should do okay with 1440p in most games. But beyond that, it depends.

I don't mean anything specific, i tried it in watchdogs just and i couldn't tell if DSR was actually on or not. That was at x1.2 so i guess the next bump is x1.5. I know a 780 wont excel past 1440p so i just wanted to know which multiplier was equal to 1440p. Then i'll test all my games and see which get the 60fps thumbs of approval. Besides don't you just assume when someone talks about hurting fps that they are referring to current games?

No, I wouldn't want to assume that. Playing older games is something we do a lot as PC gamers. One of the best applications of DSR is if you wanted to go back and play Mass Effect or Half-Life 2 or something, you can easily run them at 4K and make them look a lot better than they used to.

 

Even between "current" games, not every game is as taxing as another. I'd call Titanfall pretty current, but you'll get a lot more mileage out of that than Battlefield 4 or Watch Dogs.

 

If my math is correct, 2560x1440 should be 1.78x, but you should just check them all off in the driver. All that does is enable them all for use in games via their resolution menus, where they will appear as width x height like usual. Even if you're not going to use most of them, I don't see any reason to take away choices.

Absoluteley my thoughts! :)

 

Either go DSRx4 or don't enable it at all. I have the same experience as @decer304 where everything just gets fuzzy on other settings.

who cares...

I understand your logic, i just thought that with a 780 (not saying its the cream of the crop anymore) it would be obvious that older games wouldn't really hurt it. You have given me some ideas though, im going to try Mass Effect at 4k, its due a replay.

 

Lets not get started on titanfall - LOL.
