anyone tried downsampling this game using nvidia DSR or ATI equiv.?
visual quality better or largely the same?

downsampling from 4k vs. 1080p+smaa?
- Thread starter rumtruffle
- Start date
Done this in beta 3.09 and gamma 2.05 with nvidia driver panel.
Downsampled from 2x1080p to 1080p without AA .
Noticed barely a difference.

I'm using DSR another way by creating a custom resolution and selecting it in ED on a 1080p monitor. It is noticeably more detailed while having better antialiasing between screen pixels so less sparkles on edges. Details like scratches on the cobra dash on the sides are more defined and some of the lines like supercruise lines look thinner
And what resolution is this pray tell?
4k pushes my GTX970 a little too hard with head tracking at stock speed so I run 1440p scaled down to 1080p in a borderless window. Thats on a 32" monitor.
Are you using DSR to do this? Not much experience with downsampling, but hearing so much about it is making me think I'm missing a trick.
My GPU, 780 GTX doesn't have DSR so not sure if there is another way?
it should have. they added support for fermi and kepler gpus back in october.

DSR + games own AA solution. (FXAA or SMAA) works nicely.
PostAA is done before scaling so edges do get nice gradients and it helps DSR to work better.
Currently using DSR + FXAA, as FXAA reduces very small sparkly aliasing and it's smoothing doesn't reduce image quality as much with decent amount of DSR.

Just add a custom resolution under nvidia panel, then you can choose that resolution under graphics settings of ED.
How do you use DSR on a 780? i thought it was only available for 900 series.

No, it's available for the 700 (works on my 750 Ti) and I think even 600 series.
It's in NVIDIA Control Panel 3D settings if you have the latest drivers. Enabling DSR disables custom resolutions, but that doesn't matter as DSR does the same thing better.

I use 3200x1800 VSR on a 2560x1440 native resolution monitor and it's an improvement.
ED is probably one of the best games to be using DSR/VSR or other forms of forced super sampling in because all the in game text and HUD elements are 3D surfaces anyway, and won't be screwed up by the downsampling.
I gave DSR 3840x2160 ->1980x1020 a go on my 980.
Image was absolutely brilliant. FPS dropped to 30-40 inside stations though.

I'm really curious about the FPS on a GTX 970 for the same thing. Can anyone tell what the FPS is on a GTX 970 when using DSR 4K->1080p? Thanks!
