If you changed the Nvidia Control Panel Settings properly, the simulator will offer you corresponding additional resolutions higher than the native ones of your screen.

 

Kind regards, Michael

Nduru,

 

You need to check the resolution options on the P3D Display Settings page. You will see additional higher resolution options with DSR enabled.

 

For the record, I only have one extra option with DSR 2x enabled, but that's probably because my 19" 4:3 monitor has a native resolution of only 1280x1024. The DSR resolution that I can use looks quite odd (1810x1448), but it appears to be the native resolution multiplied by the square root of 2. I have tried it, and it does appear to significantly reduce texture shimmering in P3D on my PC. What I want to know is.....are there any performance or VAS penalties associated with it?

Result is the in sim setting of 4xMSAA Chris.

 

 

I would just choose 4xSGSSAA (or 8) in NI and 4xMSAA in the sim, or settable in the cfg:

 

4xSGSSAA is a real killer in P3D with many clouds especially with HDR enabled, despite of a 980GTX in my system.

 

After moving to P3D with v2.5 I'm a bit disappointed compared to FSX.

I will check out 2xMSAA and 2xSGSS with the 2x DSR in my next test flight this afternoon. P3D looks great with the 2x DSR/4xMSAA/4xSGSS combo, and the performance is pretty good with HDR disabled, and clear skies.

That's the point and I don't want to fly P3D as a " fine weather" sim.

Yeah, I can understand that. Since I am a low and slow VFR pilot (even in airliners), decent visibility at all times is quite important, although I would like to be able to fly with lots of clouds if the performance could be maintained.

BTW, thanks Steve - the 8xSG worked fine - no more flashing poles.  Now to try some weather . . .

I am confused, does DSR only work in fullscreen mode?

There

There is no true full screen mode in P3D though right?  It's pseudo.

That's right fullscreen P3Dv2 is a captionless, borderless window. DSR operates on the desktop as well as the fullscreen game mode view as used by FSX fullscreen, so can do P3D as well.

Good work birdmanmike.

Hello,

 

I've been watching this thread for a few days and I don't get the above option at all. I've changed DSR to 2x and when I go back into P3D I just see my current ones,1920x 1080, nothing higher.?

 

I'm using a 27' 120hz monitor.

 

Thanks

Not sure if its just me, but, 2.5 is really performing great at 4xSGSS, even in cloud cover.  I'm currently running FTX Global\Vector,  ASN/REX Direct. Something tells me however, the minute I start installing full fat Orbx regions and AI, fun times are over.

On my PC, I have to be pseudoFullscreen AND the black-out desktop and auto-fill main view checked AS WELL as DSR factors and DSR smoothness set on the Nvidia Control Panel. Under Display-change resolution, you should see the higher resolutions. I have just a 660ti and driver set 344.80

G´day for SGSS use i found this article long time ago http://www.overclock.net/t/1250100/nvidia-sparse-grid-supersampling

 

I went with these SGSS settings within P3D2. What i have right now is 4MSAA in the Sim 4SGSS in NI + Negative LOD BIAS to ALLOW instead of CLAMP (dont know what that is for) The result is pretty good.

 

I just have only SGSS in NI enabled the rest is done in the Sim. I might post some shots later.

have you enabled it in the Nvidia control panel and then inside P3d,you need to press alt/ enter if I remember correctly twice  ,then you will see the red figures appear quite small that is when DSR is active,you can also go into the P3d control panel look at the resolution box,the new resolution appears at the top,but I beliieve that you still have to have it  enabled,it works great for my 32" tv
