Downscaling on 4850

[Mulder19]

Pretty simple. . . does anybody know how to run games at higher than native resolution and have my GPU downscale to native res. I want to see whether I can use this as a replacement for, or in addition to, AA. Tried a few things, no luck so far.

Impossible... try running at higher then native, monitor will say it only supports up to say 1920x1080 @60hz... cant be done as far as my knowledge goes..

Supersampling? There might be an option in CCC somewhere.

It is possible.

The easiest way is to add the resolution to the inf file of your driver, this way you can select it in game (Crysis, GTA etc.) and mark "Use Centered Timings" under the GPU Scaling options.

Now you have SSAA/downscaling.

go ahead and enjoy!

As long as you're only changing the resolution of the framebuffer, and not your video out, there's no problem.

Also, for Crysis use the console commands r_height and r_width to set your custom resolution, again, make sure you have centered timings enabled.
