So it's simple.

I activate DSR (I know exactly how to do it in NVIDIA control panel) and in resolution I use 2560x1440 downscaled to 1080p. Ok this is how it looks:

http://

And this is how it looks with native 1920x1080 with no DSR:

http://

I watched videos on YouTube and looked over post and DSR looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY much better on other computers. Any solution to this?


Also hapens in games, they dont look better like if I were using an AA method.

DSR looks bad at the desktop for everyone. Just don't use it at the desktop. There is no purpose for using it at the desktop, except to play games in windowed mode. This is the main title of the thread, so the primary issue is simple, you shouldn't be using it at the desktop.

In games, DSR is iffy. It does a form of downsampling, but in order to make it run better than normal, they don't do as good of a job as downsampling normally does. There is an smoothness slider to adjust how blurry it will get, or how sharp it will be. The sharper you choose, the less it does, but doesn't make the image blurry...

Don't use DSR. It's pointless other than for testing performance at higher resolutions or recording in a higher resolution than your monitor supports. It doesn't make the picture quality look any better.

Dont wanna sound rude, but thats not the point of it. I wanna use it.

I wanna use it mostly for games because I have enough power and I heard is a very good AA solution. The problem is it looks bad. Very bad.

I don't know if it's generally useful/recommended for desktop, but in games it's essentially super sampling anti aliasing, which AFAIK is the most powerful (and most demanding) form of AA.

Edit: 2nd image link doesn't work for me.

DSR does not look as crisp as not using it when the images already properly rendered for static use. DSR is meant for gaming, not for the desktop. It's a form of AA for games that don't have good AA options. The downside of downsampling is that it softens the image. The desktop already has quality images with out aliasing, as a result, you can only degrade the image with DSR.

Don't use it at the desktop. Just use it in games.

There are other 3rd party programs which allow you to sharpen the image. SweetFX is one such app. DSR is better than nothing, and can be better than FXAA and even MSAA in some cases. It however is not perfect.

Edit: And YouTube videos won't show you how it looks on another persons screen, as they are compressed and softened as well, hiding most the AA that exists in person.
