Upscale Resolution (1920 x 1080p upscale to 2560 x 1440p)

[lhai250]

Hello everyone,

 

I play Battle of Kuban normally with Hd1080p Setting in Graphic option. Could i set the resolution higher, like some other game i can set the "Resolution UpScale Setting" to make the game render at higher resolution

I love to play with high resolution (like 2560 x 1440 maybe...), my PC could handle that res, I could play Battlefield 1 at that upscale setting (1920 x 1080 upscale to 2560 x 1440), so i could do that with IL2, couldn't I ?

 

Thanks

My specs:

Core i5 3,4ghz
16GB Ram DDR3

GTX 1060 6gb
TV LED Sony Bravia HD1080p

In NVIDIA Control Panel, enable "DSR - Factors" under "Manage 3D settings". Choose any scaling factors that you'd like to test. Then, launch Il-2 and select a new resolution. 

 

However, the GTX 1060 may not be sufficiently powerful to play at 1440p with all graphical settings maximized. DSR acts like antialiasing with heavy performance cost. Also, UI scaling can be a problem. You might not see a significant image quality improvement with 4x AA + 2x DSR. 

 

It'll probably be necessary to run a few tests to find a good AA setting that balances performance and quality.

Is this a setting that's only available under certain conditions? I have windows 10, 1070 external box, and can't find that setting in my nvidia control panel. I'd like to give that a shot.

Nvida DSR.

Ah yes. So it's a Maxwell thing they dropped later, it seems. Explains why I have no setting for it.

Pretty sure it is still current, you will find it under Nvidia global settings, not individual game, and set the new available resolution in IL-2

Nope, nothing like 'dsr' or that looks remotely like dynamic super resolution is in there. Maybe it's conditional upon turning another thing on/off, so that it would magically appear in that case. But not to worry, I got reshade working last night, which I think eats into my framerates, and I believe dsr would also do that. so both combined would probably be too much for my card.

DSR is just marketing speak. It should be obvious you cannot increase the resolution of your monitor simply by sending a high resolution signal to it. 

At most DSR will give you a bit smoother picture, like antialiasing but at a large cost in performance. If your GPU can handle generating a 2560x1440 output then you’ll see the best reults on a monitor with that same native resolution. On a 1080p screen the result will be negligible.

In the control Panel under "Manage 3D Settings/Global Preferences"

 

DSR Factors

DSR Smoothness

 

If it aint there there something wrong. Its not conditional on anything else to my knowledge. If you decide to use it then setting the power options to "prefer maximum" is probably must too. 

 

My old 1060 could run DSR most of the time on high settings but heavy clouds/lots of AI would be problematic. A 1070 should be in a much better position.

Just had another look, for the X't time. It's not there. Entirely not there, not greyed out or something. I'm reluctant to believe there's something wrong, since nothing else about the card's 3D behaviour, or my ability to change settings, suggests that it might be.

But, as I said, with how I've got the settings right now, including some lumasharpening and techicolor2 from reshade, which I quite like, my fps, let's say in WoL, in a busy spot, drop to the point where I wouldn't want to pile something on that takes away some 5 or 10 fps or so.

It's there in nvidia control panel:

Mine looks like this:

DSR is not Anti aliasing its simply Super Sampling with a Gausian filter anti aliasing (DSR Smoothness) applied to all settings but DSR 4.00x

The only DSR Factor that works correctly on a 1080P monitor is X4.00 (4K 3840x2560 DSR)
If you have a 1440P monitor than correct DSR setting will give you (5K 5120x 2880 DSR) 

The info as to why this is is the case is there in the pdf about DSR.
At 4.00x it uses sqaure pixels and does not bring in much aliasing.
where as all other settings below use partial pixels to make the res creating artifacts and thats when you need DSR Smoothness setting
Which is a Gausian Filter style of anti aliasing.
if you use this on say dsr 2.00x then you are blurring the image to hide the Aliasing and almost negating the point of super sampling for image clarity.
 

Also Do you have a laptop. i dont think Mobile GPU's allow DSR anymore

[stupor-mundi]

Yes, @=TBAS=Sshadow14 , I have a laptop. This will be the reason probably. It's not a mobile GPU, but a desktop 1070 in an external TB box.
