Here what Nvidia says about DSR :

Well I found that Airbus 318/319 does not get along with DSR - its not bad just a bit of stutter on spot plane view while panning - I prefer not to use it with this birdie 

When using DSR ( 1.50x / 33% ) the image with FXAA off and MSAA set to 8x is way sharper than before.

 

Issue : most of the time when using "fullscreen"and choosing an option on the P3D taskbar only a grey box appears.

Solution : going back to windowed mode. Than all menu aptions appear.  Then switch back.   

 

Pro : clearly sharper and with my Titan cards I see no drop on FPS

Con : the photoscenery ( 1 m/p ) appears "too" sharp.T.i. , from 5000ft away the underground never looks that sharp in reality . And as I use photoscenery that shows a lot...( we call that a luxury problem... )    

 

 

In Windows itself I use the native resolution, so I only have it set to a higher value in P3D.

For those asking. Yes, it works in FSX, FS9 and as far as I know, every application that lets you set its resolution. Older titles work very well, as they generally have performance to spare, so you can ramp up the scaler; the only downside is the aforementioned decrease in the menu size, though I've yet to find anything unusable.

 

Gerald, if you find things look too sharp, you can always increase the Smoothing, which will add more blur.

@Novation

 

The testing I did was with just 1 monitor ( adding FSX scenery to P3D, testing it and perhaps the need for modifying textures / Afcad files I do in my living room with my server and 1 monitor. Within 1 week I will put the server back in the cockpit )

Flying is with 3 monitors and blowing up the groundscenery always results in less sharpness. Perhaps I even have to decrease smoothness to 20-25.

What I don't really understand is that a few of you are reporting better performance (smoother, less stutters) while you are in fact adding load to the GPU and CPU...?

 

I will surely gives this a try myself as soon as the regular drivers have been updated with this option.

Why is this hard to understand? It's just a load of misconception. What you notice as 'stuttering' is not low framerate as such but fluctuations. You don't really notice a constant 20fps as much as a sudden drop from 30 to 20. As you noted, DSR (a.k.a Downsampling) puts more load on the GPU and partially on the CPU lowering the framerate. Suddenly you don't drop from 30 to 20 but merely from 22 to 18. The fluctuations are much smaller resulting in the perception of increased 'smoothness'. The same applies to the appearance of less shimmering. There is less shimmering because the image is less sharp.

EDIT

Never mind...

Not sure why but when I try to run the setup, the driver begins to load and about 15 seconds later I go BSOD. I also tried to update from the current 337 to 344.11 and the same issue happens BSOD. I am not sure why, maybe because I have both a Titan and a 780 in the same computer but they both are happy with the 337.** driver that is installed. :o

Try a good driver cleaner maybe - I use a payware thats great drivercleaner.net - and use ccleaner for your registry before installing a new video driver

 

Also noticed using DSR street lights are like a halo twinkling thing going on guess thats due to the vsync being off - to be honest I am happy with this driver as it is not using DSR

 I have a titan with 3 monitor surround when installing the driver 344.24 . message said NVIDIA installer cannot continue. this graphic driver cannot find compatible graphics harware. any help?

I didn't get a BSOD but the screen went black. After about 10 minutes I shut the power button off and restarted the PC. When it came back it was using the Intel graphics and looked terrible. I ran the 344.24 installer again and Windows threw up a "driver is not signed and will likely cause premature death of your first born" warning which is I think why I stared at a black screen for 10 minutes the first time, Windows popped up that warning but I couldn't see it because the existing driver had already been disabled. Anyway, since I don't have a first born I went ahead and installed it and that time everything went fine.

 

Gemelli, you probably missed the step where you have to extract the driver and replace the .inf with the modded one, the driver is meant to be used on a notebook I believe.

Jim I did the same thing and still a no go, in fact I tried it about 6 times and all were no go.

Is there a difference in this and just setting up a custom resolution that's scaled to your monitor? I can run my 1920x1080 monitor with a custom resolution of 2560x1440 for most games.

In Windows itself I use the native resolution, so I only have it set to a higher value in P3D.

 

 

I've not yet tried this, have been working most of the w/end, but having read most of this thread plus the original thread over at Orbx, I have one question:

 

My understanding is that the new driver with the modified .inf gives new higher res options within P3D.  But I see references to "down-sampling" to get the res back to what the monitor wants... how is that done?  Is this just a matter of not changing the desktop res?  Or is there another tweak somewhere else that "downsamples" the picture to something that the monitor can work with?

 

Thanks,  Bruce.
