DSR in XPlane?

Featured Replies

99% of the time I use windowed mode, I guess only full screen users can benefit from DSR?

I do not have this option in Nvidia Inspector: NVidia Quality Upscaling. 

 

 

Nvidia Inspector 1.9.7.3 

 

GTX680 2GB 

 

Monitor Resolution: 1280 x 1024 :\

 

Some help?

Go to Nvidia Control panel and then to global settings for 3D.

There is an option called DSR , there you can choose the setting (I thng that there is a bug that you can choose multiol settings) .

Then one setting down , there is one called DSR smoothing , choose what you want.

After that , go and change your desktop resolution to the new option (higher than the native of you screen) , then DSR should work.

You don't have to change the desktop resolution for DSR to work.

You don't have to change the desktop resolution for DSR to work.

Otherwise it didn't work for me...

Maybe I did somthing wrong ...?

I have a GTX 460 1gb , tried DSR 2x with 33% however it all was more blurry and didn't seem to help AA.

After I choose the DSR profile , I should choose the new screen resolution right? Nothing to do inside XPX?

 

You have to change the game to the higher Display settings to get any effect you should leave desktp settings as is.... Ok reading on It appears you figured it out (:

 

 

How did you set it up? I use a GTX 770 4gb, I thought I knew how to, but am I missing something?

 

 

This is how you set it it up 

 

1. goto Nvidia control panel > Manage 3D settings > Global settings > DSR Factors (pick what ever you want I just went with standard

 

2. When in XPX go to rendering options pick the new high resolution and turn of SSAA (i changed the Anisotropic to max that has little effect on FPS anyway)

 

And enjoy.

Douglas its not a Nvidia inspector option it in Nvidia Control panel when you have the latest drivers thats where you set it up my friend 

 

On a side note O wow thats neat i can quote other people and it will go into my newest post awesome

Ok so what factors/ custom resolution should we be using?  I tried setting up 2x and 4x and tried using a 4k custom resolution and all it did was blow up the screen so that only the top left corner was visible on my display.

All I can gather with this rather limited info is that you set up DSR set your desktop to the DSR setting and ran XPX which of course would only sit in a tiny portion of the now DSR rendered desktop.

 

Just do it the other way around leave your desktop at its normal settings and change the resolution in XPX to the new DSR res and let the GFX card do the rest.

If I leave the desktop the native size and set the DSR resolution in XPX then it displays at 4k and doesn't downscale as it should to my native, thus only showing me the upper left portion on whats going on in game.  The only way I have managed to get it somewhat working is to set my desktop to the DSR resolution and then set the same rez in XPX, there are 2 issues with this, first being that the text in the UI is barely readable and also my cursor winds up showing up about 3 inches to the right of where it is clicking within the game, for instance I'll hover my mouse pointer over the menu bar and if I go to click one menu, the menu 2-3 spots to the left is what actually gets clicked.  I once read that XPX isn't a true full screen application so I'm assuming this is why I'm having issues as Counter Strike works perfectly fine with DSR without me having to resize my desktop.

I'm a bit confused as to how, but setting DSR to 4.0x and smoothing to 60% in the Nvidia control panel and LEAVING the XP setting at native 1900x1200 gave me the 4K effect. I think. Anyway it looks great...

I don't think that's how it works.  Even if you use GeForce experience to set up games you still need to set the 4k resolution within geforce experience.  The way I understand it is it downsamples higher resolutions to your native resolution, I think it processes whatever you feed it into your native resolution, which is why you need to specify the multiples and the higher resolution.

Most correct, you do not change your Desktop...and as a side-note...as soon as you end your session with ANY flight simulator, running DSR, if things are set-up correctly, your Desktop will revert back to your native res, automatically.  That is how it should work. You only pick the above-native reso's...within the window allocated for precisely that for each sim.

 

You will know if you are above your native resolution, by the fact that the fonts are much smaller, and some of the menu features are diminished. If for any reason, in Full Screen Mode, you do not see the sim taking up the entire square inch surface of your monitor display, then your settings are wrong, and you will have to sort it out. Only fonts, should be seen in a diminished form.  Quite readable, but smaller in scale and in height.

so, what is the exact steps needed as I am totally confused now?!

so, what is the exact steps needed as I am totally confused now?!

 

Ian, here are the steps,

 

1. Pour yourself a good, high-quality beer, in a pre-chilled glass (as suggested right from the nVidia site...), and download driver 344.48.  Install stated driver suite.

 

2. Start sipping the beer, with smacking of lips

 

3. Bring up the nVidia Control Program, by right clicking on Desktop Under GLOBAL advance down to the tab DSR and highlight any number of the *x settings that you will want to have that corresponding resolution for, up and beyond your native reso.  (Example: For myself, I have 1.5, 2.0, and 4.0 check-boxed, and now have three choices in the DSR section of the Control Panel , whereby you'd change Desk-Top resolution, if you wanted to do that...)  You also will now have either one, or in my case all three custom over-and-above-native resolution choices to show up in your resolution listing inside any of your sims...) Changing your entire Desktop to the new reso you want, is not required to have DSR run in your sim.  Your sim will take on that reso...and each time you end the sim session, your Desk Top will revert back to your native sim, automatically as the sim session ends. 

 

4. Set the SMOOTHNESS FACTOR to whatever you want, or as in my preference, I have kept it at the default 33% factor.

 

Press APPLY/SAVE, whatever...

 

5. Go to the GAME TAB, and bring up P3D, FS9, FSX, any of them you want, and make any changes that you feel you want.  DSR and SMOOTHNES ONLY is to be found under the GLOBAL SETTINGS TAB.

 

Press APPLY/SAVE, whatever...

 

6. Take another sip of that beer....

 

7. Fire up any sim of your choice, and when at the F.B.O. call up the running sim resolution window, and now, you should see the same exact single, or multi number of resolutions you created by use of the GLOBAL TAB in the nVidia Control Panel.  

 

8. Pick one and then press APPLY, or whatever is required in that sim to make the sim now USE that resolution element.  Now, if you are not already, go to FULL SCREEN within that running sim.

 

9. You are now in DSR mode and should see the effects of being in that mode, by smaller fonts, menus, etc...BUT the sim should be taking up the entire space of your monitor display, just as it would, if you had been running at your highest native, or lower than native, that we always could do.

 

10. Finish beer... before the authorities catch on to this arborant  behavior....

 

11. Go fly in your 'new' sim.....

 

12 Crack open another beer...and say: "Ah..what the h*ll, this is a simulation flown out of my den.....".

 

13.  Keep having fun, and rubber-necking the new detail...

 

14 Return ALL N.I. settings for that particular sim you want to use DSR with...to DEFAULT, or just remove that reference in the line up. DSR takes care of all the artifacts you have been tweaking your guts out for the last 15 years. In the rare case that on your system it does not, keep your tweaks to a minimum, as those that reported at first, they did not see what the hooza was all about, found out what the hooza was all about, only after removing their N.I. settings for that sim.

 

That's it, all in a nutshell....

 

Mitch

Thank you, it might be the beer, but this KILLS the FPS! 

 

also, now I can not get back to windowed mode, even unchecking the full screen box! Any ideas?
