Do I need to change in game resolution to get Nvidia DSR to work?

Hi there,

 

I'm not sure how to go about getting Nvidia DSR to work. This is on a 1080p monitor. My goal is to get the gauges to display a little more clearly if possible. I set DSR Factors to 4.00x (native resolution) which in turn automatically switched DSR - Smoothness to 33%. This is all I've done so far.

 

Do I need to switch the in game resolution to that of a 4k monitor? I think I tried that but then only the top left portion of the game menu was being displayed. Also, I've got a fast rig with a so-so video card, a GTX 960, so when I get this to work maybe I should be setting DSR Factors to 2.00x?

 

Thanks for your time,

 

Chris

In game select your new resolution. For full screen (downscaling) on your monitor you need press RAlt+Enter.

Thanks Falcon. That seemed to work as my usually butter-smooth framerate took a noticeable hit now with DSR enabled and running 4k resolution in game. It did not make the gauges any clearer so I guess I will just have to zoom in for now.

do not switch to 4k. it will drop ur fps. 1440p is the max u shd go. once u have activated ur dsr in nvidia, change ur resolution to 1440p. the text and game objects will get smaller so u will have difficulty tracking targets.

Ok, I will try that. I use a 42" LCD for a monitor so hopefully that will help me track targets.
