I just wanted to mention that this option is also available in GeForce settings > General > Image scaling, and does it to Only to games, not windows itself.

[@josueaguilar1563]

Thank you

[@themusketeer9458]

How does it work? I use it and have green nis, but no more fps.. do i have to also reduce res in game? I have it at 4k and the nis is green, it was blue when i used it on windows aswell, because i needed to reduce res in game for it to start. Is it the same here? It's weird because you set the res in geforce, but it doesnt seem to do anything

[@zZiL341yRj736]

I rather turn it one in GeForce Experience

[@FreedomBU]

I’m pretty sure if you turn it on in GeForce experience it turns it on in control panel, the only extra benefit with GeForce experience is that now you can optimize the game settings with that specific 85%/77%/ect image scaled resolution without entering the game to change the settings yourself. Tho sometimes the optimizations in experience is not as nice as optimizing game settings manually.

[@FreedomBU]

@@jacktyler58 if your windows is its native resolution, like with my setup how one monitor is native 1440p and the other is native 4k, it will only image scale the monitor not running its native. Kinda sucks cause I run most of my games in borderless mode and I wish I could use image scaling on just the borderless games without fucking up my desktop config on both my monitors.

[@O6i]

this setting is honestly awesome

[@wraithlotus]

I understand that NIS is an open-source project, it is normal that it has problems, hopefully the community can also help together with those of Nvidia.

[@rick_takahashi]

NIS was made to sell DLSS. I think it's crap - implementation is utter crap. FSR and XeSS will be the best open source solutions.

[@ProtoType4588]

​@@rick_takahashi even if that would be true...they need to be implemented in the game by a developer while nis doesn't need to be implemented by any developer it just works straight away nis can be implemented by devs to make it perform even better dlss on the other hand you know why it works better right? while fsr and nis just is a smart pixel scaler they lack the information of the objects in the render they upscale the hole thing meanwhile dlss can ai upscale and knows the objects in the scene and can work with that data to adjust the pixel priority on say like text in some cases dlss can even look better then native like in cyberpunk 2077 the text is way clearer with dlss then it is native dlss is way more complex then fsr or nis and to put it clear once again dlss needs to be implemented meaning there is no way nis can sell dlss if the feature isn't being implemented in every game out there if anything dlss support and fsr support might decrease due to nis since why implement a feature that already has a driver base solution?

[@rick_takahashi]

@@ProtoType4588 Hence why I said poor implementation.. imagine, actually manually setting your resolution lower for it to work and actually thinking this is "a good solution". There's a setting in GeForce Experience but you still have to manually set it. FSR and NIS are spatial scaling and clearly one has better implementation whilst the other one has better "marketing" and current mindshare doesn't even help distinguish how lackluster it is.. see BF2042 with NIS. FSR can be implemented globally, see MagPie. DLSS is a blackbox approach. It is better in quality no doubt but because of its proprietary approach and the amount of work developers has to do for it to work.. I don't think it will be a sustainable solution (same as G-Sync, which even Nvidia has adopted the AMD's open-source Freesync and rebranded it as if it's their own). Intel's Open Source XeSS, which is also Temporal scaling will be a better choice for devs and I think will be long term solution unless if Nvidia does something about it (or fanboys will continue to blindly follow Nvidia). Proper OpenSource solutions will ultimately be the long game here. NIS has a short vision and is only made to sell DLSS. Think about it, FSR only needs at least 2 hours to bake into a game but why not integrated on most games... Nvidia's 💵💰 play huge influence. Will be interesting when Intel joins this circle early next year.

[@ProtoType4588]

@@rick_takahashi imagine actually needing to select lower resolutions for performance its the same story with normal resolutions you do it to gain fps having the feature related to a resolution slider doesn't require developer implementation tell me how could they have done it different without it being on by default with no option to change it you want a button a slider wel bad luck for you those sliders and buttons require to be coded into the interface everyway you possibly shape it there are no real other solutions then having a developer develop it into the game again nis cant sell dlss if dlss will never be implemented in older games and again not every developer even wants to bother implementing the scaling features your stuck with what developers want not what you want fanboys get that shit out of here only thing that mathers is performance i had both amd and nvidia cards i had both intel and amd processors it don't mather what their rep is performance numbers define what i pick up in my case it was a rtx 2070 super before the pandemic so prices were normal meanwhile amd offering here was over 100 euro more expensive but the best balanced card for me still is the rx 580 8 gb need to get me 1 again for backup rip it costs around 600 euro now if amd beats nvidia in performance then the next main card would be amd again simple as that that should answer your question if I'm blind or a fanboy as I'm neither but what you are my man is a amd fanboy probably got a amd card a amd processor even your ass says made by amd its either that or 2 other reason's 1 : your salty that you don't have a nvidia card to test this 2 : your part of that disgusting ignorant aholes that only likes to talk shit about technical advancement nobody is allowed to like new stuff because that's bad the only one selling dlss right now is you because with nis dlss lost a lot of its value but at least i can say thanks for letting me know magpie exists it gets added to my compatibility and game enhancement folder anyway hope one day you realize that fanboying doesn't get you anywhere and see it from the perspective of a gamer that just wants to game that doesn't give a shite what brand or manufacturer and then you realize mmm yes even if moneymaking was the reason the feature exists it still is free performance :)

[@rick_takahashi]

@@ProtoType4588 I agree with your opinion on fanboys.. I don't like fanboys and I also don't like people who are just repeating the marketing material of a certain company without independent 3rd party or their own validation; basically "parrots". Whilst we could have had a good discussion, it seems like you have come to defend Nvidia on my criticism on NIS, and instead redirect your 'attacks' to myself. This is called Ad Hominem --> and this is why I hate fanboys, they will never get into a good discussion without attacking another person because they couldn't take criticism of their favourite brand. Ironic, because you mention that you hate fanboys but couldn't even focus on the 'topic' without displacement. If you scroll up, I focused on the NIS' issue. One problem with your current argument, as well.. is that you thoerise all these things BUT you actually don't have any modern hardware, or even tested all of these features with modern hardware. These are the modern cards that I currently 'have' Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3080 Palit GameRock RTX 3080 Palit Gaming Pro RTX 3080ti EVGA RTX 3080 EVGA RTX 3070 ASUS Dual Mini RTX 3060Ti EVGA RTX 3060 MSI RX 6800XT Sapphire RX 6700 XT MSI RX 6700XT Sapphire Pulse RX 6600XT Sapphire Pulse RX 6600 Ryzen 5600X Test system Intel 12600K Test system I actually test PC hardware and validate these things on my main channel.

There's a little tip here (even from Nvidia it self), do not use it directly on your windows desktop. Keep your desktop resolution at native and enable overlay indicator to see if NIS work or not. so you can enjoy the 144hz with NIS enabled Blue NIS = only sharpen Green NIS = scaling + sharpen

[@whizkid4690]

DO NOT SET NIS ON YOUR NATIVE DESKTOP! You may choose to use overlay on NIS under Nvidia Geforce Experience. NIS scaling resolution appears in your 'game' video settings for selection. Green NIS will appear at top left corner of screen when you play games with resolution change. Blue NIS for sharpening only. Sharpening does not affect your framerate - for best results use 15% to 25% for sharpen. Best returns for framerate is at 85% scaling - any lower you start to have diminishing returns because of lower resolution.

[@vanshnigam6074]

Wdym?

[@whizkid4690]

@@vanshnigam6074 In short, under Nvidia control panel -> Manage 3D settings -> enable Image Scaling to "On" -> Set sharpening to 20%. Save/Apply settings. Then under Geforce experience, go to settings -> Enable ingame overlay. set image scaling to 85% (Take note of your render resolution). Sharpening is at 20%. Launch your game. Goto your game video settings, check and select same video resolutions (same as render resolution), apply it. If all is well, NIS in green appears in top left corner of your screen. If you didnt change in game resolution, Blue NIS appears for sharpening in effect for the game. To do further adjustments, in the game , press alt-Z key to launch Geforce overlay, adjust your sharpening further according to preference, keep style at OFF. Enjoy increase FPS.

Hello Trouble, been fan for quite sometime. Just wanted to say you're the best at explaining stuff. Your talking manner is absolutely amazing. Anyways, I've installed latest drivers 497.09, but I do not have the Image Scaling option in my control panel. My rig is: Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 513QM with ryzen 9 5 series and rtx 3060, gotta say it's a beast of machine. But I'd like to have that NIS neat option available, cause I've just bought a 27 inch 1440p monitor, and playing on higher resolution rather than standart 1920x1080p dropped my fps a tad. (15-25) fps so yeah, any idea whats going on ? Maybe gotta enable some developer settings or something ?

[@stakkd4380]

i have a 1080p monitor plugged to my laptop closed lid and i have the same driver update 497.09 but i have a 3050, i also have a different control panel setting, my image scaling has sharpen: 0-1.0 and ignore film grain: 0-1.0, and i do not have an overlay option. p.s i now that i have an external monitor for my laptop shouldn't i have control panel display tab now? i don't but just wondering

With lower end GPU it scales 720p to 1080p quite nicely and makes sharp image but if using shadowplay to record gameplay it only captures at 720p even if in-game res looks like 1080p.

Because it's upscaling the image and not native 1080p. If viewers use their image scaler to watch using the same settings KZbin will still only be up to 720p but it will upscale your 720p video properly as intended. Sharpness is more down to personal preference.

For Ultrawide you gotta set a custom resolution. NIS still DOES NOT support ultrawide. My monitor is 2560x1080p so I have to make a custom 2176x918. That would be 85%. For 3440x1440 you gotta set it to 3151x1271.

[@xonz5445]

I'm on a nvidia geforce gtx 1070 7th gen GE63VR 7RF Raider, I don't see the display settings or image scaling in nvidia control panel (which is a laptop btw)

[@wlsniper4761]

i dont have NIS/ image scaling in nvidia control panel ??? my graphique card is gtx 1660 ti

[@isalx]

ur my fav roboman :D

[@igoturdonut8907]

i have the latest nvidia drivers and i dont have the option, idk if its because i have laptop or what. can u help?

[@HHaziq-pe5wr]

does this work for laptops? I can't find the 'image scaling' setting.

[@snehalraj6394]

I have a nvidia mx330 card and it has latest drivers but I don't see image scaling option anywhere

[@aviral1230]

I can't see image scaling option under manage 3d settings, can anyone help? I'm using rtx 3080 laptop gpu. Thanks.

What’s the best sharping

[@kylecaraway8662]

I have had good luck with it. Pathfinder wrath of the righteous I got like a 18 fps boost reliably but in witcher three it was only an 8 fps boost so what I have found is the boost depends on the game. Baldur's Gate 3 I actually had it perform worse just to add but idk if that is because it is still in development or not. It's good but I don't understand why they just didn't make it work on anything 4k or even 1440p and lower. Having to change the resolution of an 1080p monitor just to get it to activate just seems ridiculous to me and I would say it is pointless but it did make the I think it was 1650x1050 look way better imo just sucks that you have to pay all this money for a high end monitor just to reduce the resolution for maybe a 20% boost in performance at most when the program literally will work on 1080p even 1440p as long as it is not the native resolution. Anyone else feel this way? Also I've tried to reduce the resolution lower to 1600x900 and it didn't give anymore performance then at any other lower resolutions. Idk if this is the experience all around but figured I'd state that.

[@amitkumar0384]

Can somebody help me my screen resolution is 1366×768 how much sharpen should I use

[@sunburntstrapon6449]

This is litteraly the best thing that has happened to me computerwise for years. It seriously increased my perfomance with ~40% in every game. Not like FSR where the game has to support it. With NIS u have to click two buttons in the Nvidia Control Panel and then you are done. No joke. Now I dont even have to overclock my GPU or CPU at all and can run ANYTHING in 1080p with 60 fps+ all the time with medium/high settings in everything.

[@brendandh3023]

what % did u put the scaling?

[@marcograsso1386]

i have rtx 2060 but i can use fsr everytime i want using app called lossless scaling, no need game native support :) fsr have also a bit better quality than this.

[@sunburntstrapon6449]

@@brendandh3023 20%

[@sunburntstrapon6449]

@@marcograsso1386 Okey didnt know. But with NIS you dont have to buy an app and then to make it work with lets say Escape From Tarkov change things with another app to get it to work! And during the quality I dont believe FSR gives better quality cuz I cant tell the difference between usin 1080p and NIS with 1477x833 in the game (77%).

[@marcograsso1386]

@@sunburntstrapon6449 for me fsr make better image, dlss ofc is better than both but not much (i tried cyberpunk 2077 with dlss and fsr and difference isn't huge, dlss on ultra performance ruin texture like fsr). Is matter of personal choice, if for you nis is better is good that we can choise both :)

[@Jonas-ej7id]

Will NIS be coming to Laptop gpus any time soon?

[@d4v97]

So, it's like using DLSS but without AI, right? Pretty useful for GTX but not for RTX. Am I wrong?

[@misenko856]

Not really because actually only bunch of games support DDLS

[@feeblemind]

your having problems because your changing your native res on your desktop lol. my 21:9 has no problems. You just have to use utrawide downscaling resolutions. This seems to work better than FSR or DLSS so far. Its about on par visually with performance mode for FSR but gives more frames.

[@danellis2336]

i'm on a rtx 3060 omen, 17 inch 1440p laptop and i was exited to try this but any reslotion i put with sharpening and scaling enabled just looks awful so i'm not sure how this works :(

[@willy8499]

My NIS overlay isnt working. I think its upscaling but its hard to tell. Im running at 85% of 4k to save some fps so it does seem to work. But there is simply no overlay, anyone know how to fix this?

[@TimsFPVundROVfootage]

04:20 I'm a little bit confused, why exactly would I want more fps if my screen gets locked on 60hz instead of 240hz I'm running it ATM?! It would still look like 60fps even If you get like 363747 isn't it ? 🧐🤔

[@q8kid2k2]

What can I use for 800x600 used on 1080p

[@sheluvf]

is NIs still gonna push up sum fps if i dont play on strech res or sum

[@niko1even]

It sems like it works differently dpeending on the monitor. I am still able to keep my native refresh rate when using NIS.

[@snowy9073]

I don't know why but when I try and enable NIS it doesn't work, it refreshes my monitor and then it's on but then it does it again and turns itself off for some odd reason

[@2828moises]

Question whats the point of higher fps if your capped at 60hz?

[@RocZi]

my issue is that my monitor native is 1440p but when I turn on NIS, windows always brings my monitor to 4K active signal resolution, and then downscale to whatever lower desktop resolution i set, including games. so with NIS on, NIS is detecting my active signal resolution as 4K, and going to 50% I have to set ingame as 1080p, which is pretty high and this lags my game. I have spent like 7 full days trying to solve this but in the end, it is unsolvable because it always goes to 4K when I turn on NIS, negating the benefit of NIS. same goes for DLDSR, it gave me like 6.8K and 8.6K resolutions at 1.78X and 2.25X of 4K. I have learn to just play at 1080p, and let my GPU / Display scale it to a 1440p screen.

[@jonocooper3869]

@TroubleChute what streaming software were you using to capture this? I've been trying to troubleshoot FH5 with streaming software and I'm always getting stutter counts? I'm wondering if it's the streaming app or just something isn't optimised on an rtx 3k series card.

[@yamusa85]

Try OBS. Stuttering may occure if you use highly loaded decoder type. Try using Nvenc (gpu decoding) or x264 (cpu decoding) to compare what decoder is best for your use case.

[@paulrivieras9762]

@Jono Cooper Try CapFrameX and capture the Frames for at least 10 to 15 Minutes so your Card gets heated up enough during Gameplay. Also, depending on which Game you use it for, try to get into Heavy Scenes (Lots of Gunshot, Explosions etc...) to see how low your FPS and high your Frame Times go in those Scenes. You usually get the smoothest Experience if your lowest FPS stays above 60 FPS as anything below that will feel really stuttery, even on higher HZ Monitors.
