Hardware & Technical Nvidia DSR setup.

Image quality is worse with DSR. DSR is kinda like FXAA's slightly more attractive cousin that weighs more. Play with DSR on for a bit and then try supersamlping 1.5 or 2.0, whichever let's you have the more desirable frame rates, and see if you can spot the difference. You'll still have aliasing to deal with while supersampling but with SMAA from sweetfx it is cleared up for the most part. SMAA also creates a minuscule amount of blur on the textures unlike FXAA or what you get with DSR. Ditch DSR and use SMAA over FXAA in your games; your eyes will thank you.

Personally I find DSR to give a superior image. I use the optimal settings recommended for my system by GeForce Experience and haven't had any problems, even though I'm pretty sure it leaves anti-alisaing on. Though I haven't tried manual settings. In fact I haven't even seen them! I tend to just use the Experience software and the Gigabyte OC Guru software that came with the card.

I messed around with DSR in Elite but I hardly noticed any difference, not enough to justify the performance hit. I was hoping it would reduce aliasing, which is pretty bad in this game.

I've got a Titan-X and it's not powerful enough to handle Elite at 4K to 1080p conversion. Stations are slideshows.

I used DSR for Screenshoots to OCR them and i cant see a difference to native 1080p. DSR is pretty if you have a great flora around you(can completly removes the flickering from grass), but for ED.... Also if i use DSR and go to the Galaxy Map(The only time i use my mouse) i have one big problem, the mouse position isn't translated. The cursor is not the actual position.

You should report this as a bug.

DSR is like SuperSampling. Please don't spread nonsense like comparing it to FXAA.
If you got blurring, then you should blame your setting on the "Smoothness" slider, not DSR.

I just went out and got a 4K monitor. Native resolution works oh so much better then cramming ten pounds of crap in a five pound bag.

There's no fine line with the smoothness setting for DSR. Either you will blur the image or you'll have jaggies.

Should work smoothly on that card. I suggest you have an issue somewhere.
DSR down from 4K was buttery smooth on my GTX 970 and now playing natively on a 4K monitor at 4K res I still get a solid 60fps everywhere except inside stations where it drops a bit. And your card kicks mine in the nuts.

E: D is amazingly well optimised. There's nothing else I've been able to play at 4K on max settings and enjoy a steady 60fps.

Interesting ... what motherboard/mainboard are you using please?

Here's my setup:

Intel 4770K
ASUS Z87 Deluxe motherboard
32gb DDR3 RAM @ 2400MHz
MSI GTX 970 (not overclocked)
Win 7 X64
Elite installed on SSD.

Hope that helps. Might just be a driver issue. Good luck.

Sussed it. I was forcing anti-aliasing in the NVidia config and in the Elite video options. Removing that gave me a smooth experience and of course AA was pointless in this context.
Thanks for the pointer!
