Before I watched this video, I watched your older video and here's something interesting I wanna share. I'm on 1080p monitor and I did the copy method for 1280x960 on 165hz. It worked but after I followed your steps, I put on the 1280x960 resolution in display settings. Because I like "experimenting", I also turned on GPU scaling in amd software and screen froze, boom black screen, the monitor went out of range. I thought I bricked my OS but it was fixed it by holding power button so I force shutdown the pc, on next startup AMD software reset my settings cause of "failure" and set my screen resolution back to native 1080p (it didnt reset cru settings)

[@nicolasfelipe2169]

with integer scaling should both of my resolutions be the same in my advanced display? or is that only with display scaling?

hey chris in the nvidia control panel i do not have the display option as a scaler on my xl2411p is this resolvable my 2nd acer 60hz monitor does have the option to be scaled by the monitor but not my main

[@KEKnightCS1]

so for some reason my two resolutions matched up when i checked the windows display advanced settings, and the nvidia control panel said gpu scaling, and while i would like sharper image and good imput lag, i only get 120fps average rn with my gtx980 and dell monitor. I did set the nvidia contorl panel up for DSR 4x, do you think that was a bad move? I did this after watching a linus video where they said to turn that on even if the game doesnt support it

[@PainInTheAss33]

im confused.... cause if i want to use integer scaling on my AMD Radeon software, then i must also enable GPU scaling, otherwise integer scaling is out of order. But on the other side if i use both to make integer scaling enabled then whats the point with your first part of video and display scaling? do i understand right that i need to choose between display scaling without integer scaling enabled .... or GPU scaling with integer scaling enabled, right? Theres no way to have display scaling throught CRU with integer scaling enabled ?

Has latency been measured between monitor scaling and GPU scaling? I've seen monitor scaling measured at 20ms to run 1080P on a 4K panel. While I need something with more vertical pixels for work, that has me hesitating.

As much as i want to believe display scaling is better, i just cant, i tried it on my xl2546k and had the worst experience i could get, a blurry, slow and very high input lag, i even tried thru CRU and it didnt help a single bit. So just to clarify GPU scaling is better and the low latency is much more stable, faster and just far more enjoyable. U truly made me believe that Display scaling is better, but i experienced the quite opposite and would never want to use it again. But alotta other stuff u got on point so thank u for ur great help with everything besides display scaling 🙏

We love u Chris! Having said that, i'd like to share an experiment of mine. Main purpose of this experiment is re-creating a BenQ xl2456k game-like experience but on a bit higher resolution and IPS colours in an ideal 25,5" diagonal which such a monitor is definetelly missing from the market. First of all all the resolutions we get is 1080p, 1440p and 4k which i find very limiting since there are at least 4 resolutions between 1080p and 1440p that i find them to be ideal for wayy better visual than 1080p while very competitive as far as peripheral vision and framerates. If you're running an Nvidia GPU and your monitor supports the "perform scaling on: Display" scale then you can set any desired custom resolution on your monitor at max Hz supported and enjoy a very unique gaming experience WITHOUT ANY INPUT LAG WHATSOEVER. For example i am a strong monitor enthusiast (own 9 high end monitors) and what i am really interested in is missing from the current monitor market. My favorite of my monitors are 2 for different reasons, my Alienware AW2721D, IPS panel at 1440p, 27", 240hz, Gsync for atmospheric experience single playing games and semi-competitive pvp games and for absolute sweating in PvP i use my BenQ Zowie xl2546k, TN panel at 1080p, 24.5",240hz, Dyac+ for fastest possible responce times the absolut minimum input lag and that stellar motion handling from Dyac+. Now what i did is the following> i tried to combine all in one on my Alienware AW2721D that supports the perform scaling on Display option on my Nvidia settings combining all the elements im really after such as smaller than 27" display for better peripheral vision and competitive advantage, custom resolution that actually recreates that stellar 1440p visibility on the same analogy per inch and the true usage of 240hz maxed out on all my fav games at all times from my Asus TUF Rtx 3080 Oc that had some problems reaching a constant 240hz at 1440p on the games i love. Therefore my final results for my experiment is> custom resolution of 2304x1296 px (which offers an overall lower input lag since the GPU is rendering in theoritical less res than the native one while the scaling is performed instantly from the display itself), 240hz, Gsync ofc disabled since im running at the max hz at all times and a diagonal size of about 25", Overdrive on the middle setting of SuperFast, Black EQ at 2, and custom color profile. This resolution on that size is addentical to 2560x1440 px (1440p) resolution on 27" which is the native one. NOTE* most people might not like the black boarders around but i was already used to it from the side panels of my BenQ for making me to be way more focused at the middle of the screen.

Very good experiment. But I think that you should lock it to 235 fps for example to enjoy gsync.

[@JSmithUSMC1992]

I wonder if you were to combine these settings while using dynamic resolution (and DLSS in game) in NVIDIA control panel at 1.78x or 2.5x what the results would be. My understanding would be that it would render in at 1080p or 1440p while still translating it onto your screen at 720. I use DR and DLSS Balanced for MW because the game is so blurry... might have to test this out myself.

[@int7392]

chris we need updated intel bios guide

[@smadyankidd]

so you are saying that if I use integer scaling, i can play with lower resolution and get good quality image but the only downside is the picture a little bit blocky?

[@DoubleJumpPunch]

Take 1920x1080 integer scaled to a 4K monitor, for example. Logic and intuition suggests that it will look blockier than native 4K, but still look better than an equivalent native 1080p monitor (same size, color profile, refresh, etc), while having similar performance to the latter. This is because the 4K monitor still has smaller, less visible interpixel gaps. There is a lot more interest in this lately, with the announced Lenovo Legion Go handheld. It has a 1600p screen, which the APU clearly can't handle for many modern games, but the intention seems to be that you could integer-upscale 800p. Some people are saying integer scaling won't look good on it, but we'll see.

[@Dirt33breaks]

So are these methods better than using the in-game resolution scaling? Im switching from a 1440p 16:9 to a 1440p 21:9. And know my fps will take a hit. I play battlefield and the dlss in this game isnt that good. So im interested in manual upscaling.

@@GodyArtDesign bro you downscale to get fps or to play stretched res in game like csgo. The point isn’t clear pixels in a game like csgo but instead to stretch character models. For fps downscaling then of course you want sharp image but just having a lower res monitor like 720p won’t even be good compared to a normal 1080p monitor anyways. 1080p isn’t too hard to drive and the only reason to downscale is if you can’t get enough fps on 1440p or 4K (which then you shouldn’t even have those monitors if you don’t have the specs for it). The way fr33thy showed to downscale with a sharper image is a good method but having a lower, native monitor for better fps is probably the better solution (but obviously not down to 720p since 1080p/1440p is better).

Well, I don't know about the input lag. But as far as "looks" go, GPU scaling 10000% looks better, sharper, clearer however you want to call it, than display scaling. Maybe I have a crappy low tier setup... Dont know. I'm using an RTX 2060 on a benq xl2430 monitor.

[@sh4bbiee]

why i dont have integer scaling? is it only on 2000+ series gpu's?

[@yercules]

only nvidia 16- series or later... pain because i have 1080ti...
