Upscaling in DCS

[Denwagg]

I don't understand !

I have a hp reverb g2 with wmr, openxrcomposite , openxr tools and openxr toolkit installed (rtx 3080 ti) 

When I increase upscale from 100 to 150% my framerate goes up from 30 to 50 fps. 

When I decrease upscaleing from 100 to 80 percent my framerate decreases from 30 to 25 fps

Same quickstart mission AH-64d Syria ready on the ramp

I thought this was suppose to be opposite to what is happening on my system

There are two ways to specify the upscaling factor. The two methods are exactly equivalent, and you may choose which one to use at your preference:

• A value above 100% represents the ratio “target display resolution over application rendering resolution”. The higher the value, the lower the application rendering resolution. For example, a value of 200% means that the application rendering resolution will be calculated to produce a target display resolution twice higher. If the target display resolution is 2200x2200 pixels, then the application will render at a resolution of 1100x1100 pixels.

• A value below 100% represents the ratio “application rendering resolution over target display resolution”. This is how the upscaling factor was specified in the previous version of the NIS Scaler. The lower the value, the lower the application rendering resolution. For example, a value of 50% means that the application rendering resolution will be half of the target display resolution. If the target display resolution is 2200x2200 pixels, then the application will render at a resolution of 1100x1100 pixels.

I have no explanation for a reduction in framerate other than 20% (80) is less than 25% (150).

Well number 80% and fps not exact but if I lower upscaling percent framerates decrease

I remember back when I was using the mod I ran into that same thing as well, found that part quite confusing myself.

I understand now when you go up or down in percent both increase frame rates

So you can't actually up-scale in the traditional understanding of the term?  only downscale?  Why?  That doesn't make sense to me.

 

/EDIT

 

Ok N/M I get it...  The idea is to use upscaling as an offset and target display resolution for adjusting "super sampling" basically...
