ZZCOOL Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I failed to get a 4k monitor in time, so i wounder can it be downsampled? i don't know much about downsampling i just want to play the game in 4k on a 1080p monitor, i want to render videos in 4k resolution with no differences from playing on an actual 4k monitor.

SilverRST Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 You can do it by using 4x DSR. Shayd80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZCOOL Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) You can do it by using 4x DSR. so i'd get the same exact effect as on an actual 4k monitor so for videos i technically don't need the monitor itself as long as my pc can handle the 4k resolution i have 780 ti's Edited April 13, 2015 by ZZCOOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 4x DSR on a 1080p you'll also get a very clear image without jaggie in games. Edited April 13, 2015 by SilverRST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanBurnsRed Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 It works in GTA IV. But it gets rid of a lot of jaggies but not all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutalu Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Can I do 8k downsampling with DSR? Only if your graphic card support 8K resolution. For example, NVIDIA Geforce GTX 660 reach 4K resolution. So you can downsampling from 4K to 1080p. Edited April 13, 2015 by sutalu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilipCRO Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 So, I have a native 1080p fullHD 32 Iinch TV. Is it better for me to use downsampling or just stick with antialiasing (MSAA 2x + MFAA) ? What is better ? My pc : i5 4690k, gtx 970, 8gb ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can downsampling from 4K to 1080p. It worked, but all settings had to be low-medium in 8K compared to ultra in 4K. I would need a 16GB VRAM GPU that does 2Ghz clock to run it smoothly.

r0llinlacs Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) I tried AMD's version of this downscaling back when I had a 1080p monitor. It didn't hardly do anything but caused huge decrease in performance. The only thing I found it useful for was extra desktop space, but even then, scaling issues came into play. You can't squeeze more pixels than what's there, the way both AMD and Nvidia talk this feature up makes it seem like it's an industry changing feature and that we'll never need 4k screens because 1080p can already do 4k according to their advertising (facepalm).... but the reality is it doesn't do anything but hurt performance.
