Downscale Games

[EarthboundHero]

So I have an R9 280, and I'm currently using a 1360X768 monitor but will be upgrading to 1080P next month. Now I want to get used to the frames I'll be getting when I get my new monitor, so is there a way to run games at 1080P but downscale them to 1360X768? Right now I can run games Ultra with the highest AA and AF, and still get 60+ FPS. Thanks guys.

It'll pretty much be the same except you'll be turning down AA because there are more pixels.

AA pretty much sorta is upsampling then down sampling.

@JEman99 From another post I created, people said FPS will be about half of what they are now. If I lower AA wil my FPS be about the same? And I won't even need as much AA anyways.

Yeah but some games at ultra will get between 50-60 at 4x msaa so you should be fine at 2x and stuff.

aa is not upsampling (anymore) but less of it will free up vram and will allow you to gain anything from 10-50% performance increase depending on what level and type of aa are being used.

Alright, thanks guys.

In case you are still interested trying downsampling..

 

Easiest and the only reasonable solution for downsampling with AMD cards is with GeDoSaTo, http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/?page_id=582.

Using this atm myself for Mass Effect 2, and its really simple to use because it makes the game config show higher resolutions, and then samples up/down to your resolution.

 

 

No.. I don't play like this, 4-5k is enough!
