DSR now available to those peons that still have Kepler or Fermi Nvidia GTX GPU's.

Yes, absolutely. Like GeDoSaTo, the downsampling is of much higher quality (and tweakable in terms of sharpness<->artifacts tradeoff [though not as much as GeDoSaTo
]).It also works with arbitrary refresh rates and display hardware. Like GeDoSaTo. Though it's currently limited to 2x your HW resolution in each dimension (unlike GeDoSaTo
).Also, it works with any 3D API and without any compatibility issues (unlike GeDoSaTo
).Yes, a lot easier!
OP I was going to make this thread an hour ago, but didn't do it because I thought it there was one. Works great on stalker and starcraft 2 (after the cursor glitch)

Huh, that's pretty cool. Looking forward to trying it on my 780 later. You also reminded me to try using GeDoSaTo again, I'll try that later as well.
Look forward to trying it out today when I get the chance.
So it will work with my 92hz oc I have going at 1080p? Would be nice to do 4k downsampling at that refresh rate in Source.It also works with arbitrary refresh rates and display hardware. Like GeDoSaTo. Though it's currently limited to 2x your HW resolution in each dimension (unlike GeDoSaTo
Nvidia CP.
Yes.
Every single game that supports arbitrary resolutions should work. Enable it globally.
Works on any game with arbitrary resolution support.

Mine too!
All games should "support" it (with a few exceptions) since it just adds more resolutions to pick from in-game.

Any performance charts with a 780 of any of the recent releases?

time to boss up my 670 sli
might be time to replay HL2

My gtx 570 is ready.

How do you apply it for Skyrim? I have it in the Global Settings and I can downsample by all the factors and I can get the desktop from 4K but loading Skyrim up is still rendering from 1080p
You need to change the resolution in the game

Thank you.
Didn't know specifically how it worked, only used GeDoSaTo for FFXIII and thought because it was done by the tool for XIII that I'd have to do it by driver with DSR, thanks it worked fine.
It is almost November.......which means it is time to replay HL1, HL2, Ep1, and Ep2.

The last Nvidia driver I installed caused black & blue screen flickering whenever I booted up a game. I actually thought it was my monitor or GPU dying, but a rollback resolved it.
Fingers crossed for this one.

How cool. Gonna try this out with my 570 just because. While I wait for my 970 to arrive.
Tell me about that. :lol
Been itching for some Half Life 2 lately... I wanted to wait for the new Cinematic mod to come out though.

With MSAA you can usually use Inspector and enhance it to SGSSAA, and that is much better than downsampling.
But just MSAA alone doesn't have the supersampling effect that downsampling does so it wont affect stuff like foliage.
Downsampling comes in handy when a game lacks AA options, or has very poor MSAA (most DX11 games)

Just in case some are wondering (400 Fermi series owners), DSR is available on the 400 series cards as well, i have a GTX 480 and it is showing up for me and is working just fine - no idea why NVidia didn't bother to put the 400 series as compatible.

whats the performance hit?
Yes it does. MSAA only works on geometry, but it misses everything else (shader aliasing, texture aliasing...).
Read this. At least from "Types of Aliasing" to "Sampling AA Comparison". The author is a bit of an asshole, but he knows what he's talking about in this case.
There is no shorter answer which is correct.
The same as rendering natively at whatever resolution you are downsampling from.

Can't wait to try DSR on my ancient GTX 770
Did you read the final sentence? I'd fire the advertising companyThis reads like paid advertising

Depends. MSAA only works on polygon edges (so it doesn't help against shader or texture aliasing), but in many modern engines it doesn't work as good (or as fast) as intended. In theory 4x MSAA offers better results for polygon edges than 4x DS due to better sample positions. DS on the other hand improves the entire image but comes at a much higher performance cost.
edit:
Sorry, my answer came a bit late.

Sweet! will try CS:GO and Dota 2 on the 780ti. Finally put it to work.
so again. about that DSR Smoothness % any sweet spot for it? 33% is the default is seems. or should I forget about it and just keep it at 33%?
with weird product names like "GeDoSaTo" and "Dsfix" that sound like attacks from Dragon Ball Z I'd fire them ages ago as well

Time to play GO downsampled finally. The only game I'm worried to try GeDoSaTo with.

So this DSR is just a more simple way of downsampling compared to the traditional method but with more options? And is the performance hit is the same or better?
Because the driver is ready for the games Civilization: Beyond Earth & Lords Of The Fallen.
Pretty much. It's downsampling at the driver level, rather than the output level. So, it's independent of the display device's capabilities. There are some options you didn't have before, mainly tweaking the sharpness of the image. But you're limited at the moment to a few fixed multiples of your base resolution, so it's a little more restrictive in that way. Expect performance cost to be the same as if you added a custom resolution.
