amd virtual super resolution

[JacTech17]

hey quick question I just got a 240htz monitor and was wondering does anyone know if amd virtual super-resolution limits a monitors refresh rate

Resolution doesn't limit refresh rate per definition. The higher the resolution, the less likely you'll be to take advantage of the higher refresh rate, though.

No, the monitor has nothing to do with it. But it will make a hit to the frame rate your card is able to push.

 i think it will, because the card will be outputting more data, and whatever interface you're using (HDMI, DVI, Display port) will limit your refresh rate......

i am not sure

the monitor is 1080x1920 and i go up to 2k. so you are saying that the super resolution wouldn't change my refresh rate. also, do you know what could be messing with my monitor refresh rate settings?

if you're experiencing lower refresh rate when enabling VSR then it's probably VSR

In my case it does.

If I use DSR then I cant use 165Hz on my monitor.

HDMI can support up to 240Hz at 4k resolution so unless you didnt crank that thing too high it would be fine not sure if you are using virtual resolution though

This is just wrong. It's not pushing any more data. The video signal is still the same restitution, AMD's VSR and Nvida's DSR are an anti anti-aliasing technique. It renders the image in video memory at higher resolutions then down samples to to match the display.

 

Any reduction in frame rate is due to the extra processing power needed to both render a larger image and then do the down sample.  The display is not involved in the process at all.
