for me it doesn't work either...nothing happens at reboot...:/

I have an hdtv samsung from 2007 and with old method (before 13.1 driver) i can get 2560x1440 with my 5850 without any problem...Damn amd!

Yup, nothing for me.

Had DownSamplingGui0.6 working in win7. Moved on to win8 and 13.2 drivers, couldn't get any downsampling methods working. Uninstalled that and went back to 12.11, downsamplinggui works again.

Did this too, in fact I installed the latest 13.2 beta drivers again - once the resolutions are set it works.

 

[Shaneus]

I didn't bother uninstalling the old drivers (which is a new thing for me) and just installed both 13.2b3 (initially over 12.8) and 13.2b4 and it managed to keep my monitor settings but also seems to still utilise all the proper DLLs and profiles etc.

So I'm now downsampling with that app from 1440p with 13.2b4

 

[AkIRA_22]

I've got the 30" dell ultra sharp, I noticed someone had issues with the 27", is their problems with particularly high resolutions? I want to run 3840x2400 at the native.

 

[Shaneus]

Depends what your card is. From what I know, the 5xxx series and possibly the entire 6xxx series (including the 6990) were physically incapable of rendering more than 2560x1600. I know the bottom-tier 6xxx cards were but the better ones *might* be okay in that regard.

I have 2x water cooled 7970s connected with DP

 

[Shaneus]

Should be fine then. I'm not sure exactly what the limit is, but I know for a fact that it's a good deal higher than the ones I was mentioning. 3840x2400 should be fine.

The new tool is thus far the only thing I've ever gotten to work, so thanks to whomever posted that!

 

[omonimo]

Up.
I don't know if the new update of AMD has changed something but now not works more to me. It appears this error: ERROR: ADL_Display_ModeTimingOverride_Set() failed!
It has worked fine until the new update the hell it's happened? Please help me.

 

[VashTS]

The best work around currently if you are using new drivers:

1. Uninstall current new driver using amd tool
2. Reinstall 12.11
3. Setup resolutions with DownSamplingGui0.6
4. Reinstall newest driver
5. Enjoy your downsampling

A new tool seems to have surfaced, I've tried it, but my monitor can't do anything more than it's native resolution, it seems.

Also, can someone help me? Any non shitty monitor can be used to downsample?

 

[nikos]

Tried CRU with my AMD card in Windows 8, but no dice.

 

[derFeef]

The CRU thing is unreliable if you don't know details about your monitor or how refresh rates exactly need to be.

driver cleaning>12.11>downsampluegui>13.x
is still the better way sadly.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I already had the resolutions I needed set up and they continued to work after installing the latest driver beta, so I guess it only prevents you from setting up new resolutions? 2560x1600 for my monitor and 2560x1440 for my TV both continue to work since I set it up originally forever ago. It would be nice to be able to go higher than that but anything higher failed to work properly, which I guess is the situation for most monitors.

 

[pestul]

Crap, guess I'll have to roll back to an earlier driver then reinstall newer to be able to try anything over 1440p. Seems newer Catalyst betas don't jive with it. My pre-existing 1440p injection stayed in Windows, but no dice on more custom resolutions...

 

[FlipJonesy]

Does anybody know if I can uninstall java after I generate the new resolutions with this utility? I know I won't be able to use the utility application after I uninstall java, but will it 'break' the new resolutions I've set?

 

[derFeef]

13.3 deleted the custom resolutions, ugh :/

Oh shit, you're right :/ Didn't even notice it.

 

[derFeef]

Seems to be deliberately. Man AMD, just add the option to the drivers and win our hearts.

 

[def sim]

Aw

I was hoping this bump would bring some good news.

 

[derFeef]

I tweeted to the catalyst creator, this sucks. I am a AMD guy, but please guys don't remove options.

 

[RukusProvider]

I have a Dell 3008WFP. Anyone played around with the limits of this monitor?

How is this different form NVidia's transparence super sampling AA?

 

[Last Baron]

I tried using CRU but apparently I missed something because setting my resolution to 2560x1440 gives me an Out of Range error from my monitor.

The CRU does not work for me, either you need to be an expert with monitors or it's buggy as hell.

 

[Shaneus]

Wait, so even if you created them then ran the AMD driver removal thing then installed 13.3, it removes them? They'd better offer something in the driver itself, damnit. Any major changes/upgrades?

(I'll check on Guru3D too, but figured I'd ask here as well)

 

[Metalmurphy]

Just read on another forum that this works:

1. Uninstall current new driver using amd tool
2. Reinstall 12.11
3. Setup resolutions with DownSamplingGui0.6
4. Reinstall newest driver
5. Enjoy your downsampling


Uninstall just the driver, leave everything else. Gonna try it now on my pc.

 

[nib95]

Don't you get tiny HUD elements from doing this? I'd say 1080p with AA/AF turned up is still the better solution.

Depends on the game, I think. Controller-based console ports haven't given me any trouble yet.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Damn, it didn't work for me after I rebooted. If I try right after installing the drivers it works, after I reboot I still get the resolutions displayed, but it doesn't down sample .

 

[Felix Lighter]

I installed 13.3 beta and I still have the downscaled resolutions I set up with version 0.2 of the utility.

 

[Shaneus]

Yeah, same. I just installed over the top and still have 2560x1440, no probs.

 

[phosphor112]

Does anyone think that PS4 can downsample with all the extra ROPs? Might as well use them for something, right?

 

[Shaneus]

What's the point? People downsample on PCs because they've pushed the level of detail, effects etc. as far as they can and there's nothing else they can do. With a fixed hardware spec like a console, devs would scale whatever tech they've made to that hardware so there won't be any room to downsample.

0.2? What exact tool do you mean now.

That's pretty pointless for a console.

Windows 8 acer monitor, tried the CRU b/c 13.3 vanished my downsampling. No dice. I got the resolution to show up but when I try to use it in game or on my desktop my monitor says Input not supported. Bummer.

You may need to just disable the unsupported resolution option. I think if the resolution shows up it will work.

 

[kami_sama]

Well, just reinstalled the 12.11 drivers and the utility works! Before, I always got a black screen on my monitor.

 

[Last Baron]

Finally got this to work but my framerate halves in Borderlands 2 and Bioshock crashes often

 

[Metalmurphy]

Yeah, same. I just installed over the top and still have 2560x1440, no probs.

Do they actually work though? I could choose them, but it wouldn't downscale, I'd get like 1 quarter of the full screen.

 

[derFeef]

Okay it totally works again, no idea why.

12.11> downsample gui > 13.3

It stops working for me after the reboot.

This happens when you choose a resolution higher than 1440p first. Start at 1440 then you can change it to anything.

That's a 16:9 resolution though, mines 16:10 would that cause a problem?

Either way I didn't have to do that before, I could go straight to 2560*1600.

noob question: Does this work with emulators? (such as pcsx2 and dolphin)

I recently have a 5870 and wants to know if with this can i get better performance.

You'll never get better performance with this, you'll get worst. You'll be rendering the games at higher resolutions.

Yes in the sense that the game will be running in a screen in that resolution. It's just that those emulators have scaling internal resolutions where you're already rendering the image at a higher resolution than what the window is in, which is already the same concept.

 

[Kelegacy]

I'm an AMD owner (even Crossfired) but next I might go Nvidia. The options seem to be so much better on that side, which irritates me to no end. I don't want to go Nvidia, so I wish AMD would get their act together.
