hey I got kind of a general question, I don't know much about this stuff

If I use this to downsample will I suffer performance loss?

 

[TheCongressman1]

Fantastic work Durante! This is incredible.

Running games at higher resolutions comes with a performance cost yes.

 

[Durante]

Are you guys with the registry key error running on restricted user accounts?

Yes, absolutely.

 

[Stallion Free]

Works for Dead Space, though up to 4k on my end:

I was able to go significantly higher without issue in that game.

 

[brian!]

alright thanks!

 

[Alo81]

The glitch continues.

Removed SweetFX from the Dark Souls 2 folder.
Deactivated GeDoSaTo and checked the game works fine and it takes shots without messing up
Activated GeDoSaTo back and went back to the game and the issue seems to be still there. (I havent changed anything from the GeDoSaTo settings)

I got the same issue as soon as I received a Steam pop up.

Try disabling the Steam overlay.

 

[Gbraga]

sup guys i tried installing it not sure what the prob is plz halp

LOL

Your tag needs an update.

Good!

Works perfectly

 

[Matteoj8]

Ran Dark Souls 2 at 7680x4320...it was so pretty...but my GTX 770 4gb couldn't handle it I'm afraid...everything went dark. I think it's amazing all this can be done before the game is officially released...great job Durante!

 

[Portugeezer]

Give me 21600p, or give me death.

 

[Willkiller]

Good!

Still got the glitch after disabling notifications

 

[Cerity]

seems to work well in KoA:Reckoning. 2160 -> 1080p

UI stretches though.

 

[Stallion Free]

Still got the glitch after disabling notifications

Did you disable notifications or the overlay all together?

 

[molnizzle]

does this work on the witcher 2

 

[Willkiller]

Did you disable notifications or the overlay all together?

Notifications, I'll do overlay

 

[Durante]

Ok, confirmed, steam overlay popups break everything while downsampling.

Turn off the Steam Overlay for now.

That's the problem when you play exclusively on any account with no friends for testing

No friends, only Dark Souls.

 

[Stallion Free]

Sorry I should have mentioned something to you earlier D. RE6 was where I first ran into the issue.

 

[Dr Dogg]

I recommend disabling the steam overlay for most games when using a custom res through this, at least that was my experience with the previous release. Durante built in some handy screenshot buttons so you don't need an external method.

Yeah that's what just worked for me after getting severely blown out results.

Anywho here's Dead Space at 7680x3240 (hastily resized to 1920x810) and still at 90fps but at 95% GPU usage! Might see what some SGSSAA on top does.

 

[Durante]

Well, I'm off to sleep, I'm sure you'll discover a gazillion more bugs for me to worry about until tomorrow

 

[Rösti]

Are you guys with the registry key error running on restricted user accounts?

Nope, admin account.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I've never bothered with downsampling, I'm excited.

 

[plainr_]

Fantastic work Durante!

Can't wait to test this out once I finish reinstalling windows.

 

[banjoted]

Durante, you're a god amongst men.

So should this fix be used instead of the Nvidia Inspector / SweetFX stuff from the PC Gamer article?

 

[R1CHO]

HOLY SHIT!

Great article, thanks for the effort, trying the tool right now.

 

[Anteater]

holy shit dude =o

 

[legacyzero]

I expect to see A LOT more people in the PC Screenshot thread, then!

 

[koryuken]

Praise based Durante, savior of PC gaming.

 

[Askherserenity]

Durante, you're a god amongst men.

Would like to know this as well. Is it cool if we just leave that stuff on as well as Durantes program?

 

[StarCreator]

So, a question for the future, when this is ready to hook into games other than Dark Souls 2: if one wanted to hook this into a game that employs GameGuard or some other anti-cheating rootkit, what are the chances of this being detected as a cheat and causing the player to be banned?

I kind of want to get this working with Phantasy Star Online 2 if at all possible - currently, graphical tweaks are only possible via Nvidia Inspector, and thus only function on Nvidia hardware - AMD users are SOL as things stand now.

This stuff is all already mentioned at PC Gamer.

 

[banjoted]

This stuff is all already mentioned at PC Gamer.

Oh yes, apologies. Between this thread and the OT I missed the third PC Gamer article completely.

100%, if the anti-cheat program isn't totally worthless. It makes no attempts to hide itself.

(Yeah, I said I'd sleep. I'll really do so now!)

 

[Parsnip]

This is exciting.

 

[Levyne]

Bar bars on a 1920x1200 screen even using this. Oh well.

 

[Levyne]

Yep, going to have to turn off the bokeh DoF, haha

 

[Stallion Free]

Bar bars on a 1920x1200 screen even using this. Oh well.

This has nothing to do with aspect ratio ATM.

 

[TyrantGuardian]

I feared as much, about cheat detection. No Dota 2 downsampled at 120fps for me

 

[Anteater]

So the texture modding can work for other games? Does that mean we don't need to use texmod anymore?

 

[Levyne]

This has nothing to do with aspect ratio ATM.

Hmm? Educate me! Really, I don't want to come across like a dumbass D:

 

[sprinkles]

First test with DS2 on AMD7950 a little unsuccessful, everything unchanged in the files:

Isn't it nvidia only atm?

 

[Stallion Free]

Aspect ratio is a separate problem from down sampling from a higher resolution that is the same aspect ratio.

 

[VashTS]

First test with DS2 on AMD7950 a little unsuccessful, everything unchanged in the files:

Looks like the same glitch that happens when you open steam overlay. Try changing the res a few times to fix it and don't open or disable steam overlay. (xfx 290 here)

Thank you based Durante! Finally we can have good downsampling. I just wish I could play at 4k, gonna have to settle for inbetween at 3200 x 1800 60 fps it seems.

 

[dmr87]

Durante checking his inbox tomorrow.

Are we going to need new Snoop Dogg gifs for this one?

Yes.

 

[Levyne]

I think I see.

Anyways, I maintain 60fps with some mild downsampling and the smaa set to the '4' setting.

Time to die.
