AMD's Virtual Super Resolution

[xFluing]

I plan to upgrade my card to something more modern, like R9 270x and the AMD site states that they only support certain resolutions for use with VSR, and one of those is 1920 x 1200, which is the next step up from my 1680 x 1050 monitor, and I was wondering if I could run VSR with a 1680 x 1050 monitor

Yes.

What VSR does is render the images/frames at...1920x1200, but squashes it down to...in your case... 1680x1050.

Your GPU is still putting in work as if it was pumping out frames at 1920x1200 resolution.

 

Your image quality will be better, but your GPU just has to work harder.

What I'm getting from the AMD site is that you can use VSR if you have a 1920 x 1200 monitor, and I don't, and I want to know if I can use VSR with a 1680x1050 monitor even if it's not mentioned

From what I can see, VSR is supported for 1680x1050.

I don't think the VSR page is the most up-to-date.

 

Regardless, I can double check in a little bit -- I have a spare 1680x1050 monitor.

Thanks, that would be great!

VSR works with 1680x1050.

Best to use 16:10 resolutions...so like you said, like 1920x1200 and 2560x1600.

2560x1600 is pretty heavy on the GPU though, don't think a R9-270X can handle that too well...

Thanks a lot! I was mainly shooting for 1200p, but I'm sure R9 270x will be more than enough for 1600p on older games, besides I don't mind dropping the settings to medium, which is gonna help the card a lot in higher resolutions
