Corky, I've been wanting this exact thread for a long time now. Many thanks to you for creating it. I will give it a shot this weekend.
I wonder do any of your downsampling users have heard of a injector called SoftTH?.
My monitor is 2560X1440 by default. No settings I tried worked. I am running a GTX 670

I've seen this, think I bumped into it in that guru3d downsampling thread but judging by other posters' results it didn't appear to be "all that" so I didn't jump aboard. But yeah, like others mentioned before the most ideal thing would be if there was a universal dsfix-esque solution where you could decide the render resolution yourself.
Is there any game where downsampling is really visually apparent so I can try SoftTH there and make a good comparison?
I see that's a bummer because I'm currently to lazy to downgrade my AMD drivers back to 12.11 only to get downsampling working Is there any game where downsampling is really visually apparent so I can try SoftTH there and make a good comparison?
Ooh I figured out another game, Dead Space! That game lacks AA and works great with downsampling considering how gentle the game is on your rig.
Did you do this with the injector or just regular downsampling?
.
Anyone have problems taking screenshots with fraps when downsampling. I can take screenshots at 2560x1440, but at 3600x2025 the game just closes. Tried it on Sonic and Skyrim, both just close.

Are you using Full RGB with those settings? I've been able to get 4k @ 60Hz working before, but always only with Limited RGB, so I don't use it.
Well I'll be fucked! Changing cables, monitors, gpus - nothing made my setup go above 3680x2070 @ 59 Hz.
Remember when I said which driver you use matter? Well I tried the latest geforce beta drivers : 313.96 on a random whim ( not for downsampling purposes ) and as I mentioned in the OP your custom resolutions get erased when uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. So I was in the process of setting them up again and BAM...I finally managed to capture my white whale. 4k@60Hz.
Would love if it turned out to work for others as well, so go ahead and try the above resolution + timings and see if it works for you.

I have the both screens on mirroring the computer screen.
I'm not quite sure downsampling works while using a dual-monitor setup.
It works. But I haven't tried anything higher than a 2880x1800 on a Dell u2412m. Extended desktop though, and both are computer monitors. The receiver probably has something to do with the problem.

it worked for me too, well done corky

Would I just create a custom resolution as I did above and apply it, then set the same resolution in the game I'm playing? As you can see from my image there is no way for me to set the scaling mode.

Wait, 3840x2160 is 4K? So I can play stuff in 4K resolution? WTF? How powerful the 680 actually is?
I just thought that I should post this here in-case someone is trying to get 2160p with Asus VG236H. This is with the latest nvidia drivers and a GTX 460.
it worked for me too, well done corky
Those 4k settings are working for me too! I've been trying to get that resolution to work for ages, so thanks for that!
Fffuuuuuuuu it actually works!!!
seems to do a number on my mouse sensitivity in some games
Works for me as well. Huzzah!
Worked for me thanks!!
tried windows with it, everything so small!! lol
Guess I was doing it wrong! Thank you so much man, I can game in bliss now.
Does anyone know how to downsample to 720p when your screen's native resolution is 1080p? I'd like to use this technique for 3D gaming, but nvidia tech limits the resolution to 720p so I'm not quite sure how to get it to work.
I might now how to do what you're asking, but I'd need you to clarify because the wording is a little confusing.
Any reason why you have so high total pixels values? I was under the impression that any "pixel" over "active pixels" wouldn't display.
Hey Corky, Are you manually altering Front porch and Sync width, or are those just you're monitor defaults?
I don't know what difference changing those makes, and what's the logic behind whether I want to increase or decrease them.
If i go under 3500, it fails the resolution test.
Those settings are the default settings, I'm not sure whether they pertain to 1080p itself or to my monitor but judging by others success with them I doubt they're settings that are somehow 'locked' to my monitor model.
Perhaps it may be by card? I have a 570 and a 1080p monitor, while all of you seem to have 680's.
Sorry if this has already been asked, but I read the OP and didn't understand exactly why this work. Can someone explain it to me? If you're monitor is 1920x1080, and you're pushing the image out at twice that resolution and then downsampling it to 1920x1080, why is it not the same as displaying it at a normal 1920x1080 resolution? Intuitively this seems like it should be like doing 1 * 2 = 2 -> 2/2 = 1, but what's actually happeing is 1 * 2 = 2 -> 2/2 = 1.5 which makes no sense to me.
