1080P clearer than 4K?

Show a screen shot. If Nvidia control panel indicates 1080p, then that is the resolution your monitor is currently displaying, period.

 

NV 1080p desktop setting used for both screen shots below:

(Best to hit the download button top right in Dropbox for these two)

4K set in-game, Full Screen mode (Original bmp screenshot 24MB file):

4K set in-game, windowed mode maximized (Original bmp screenshot 6MB file):

What you say applies to Windowed mode, not to Full Screen or P3D's pseudo Full Screen.

I'm sorry, you got me there.. I didn't know it was possible to set P3D to a true exclusive fullscreen mode like you could in FSX.  How do you even do that?

I can also report that it's possible to run my desktop (and FSXA and P3D 3.1 when in windowed mode) at 1080p with both sims configuted to switch to 4K in full screen mode. I was pleasantly surprised that this works in P3D with their 'virtual full screen'. I'm using a GTX980 and a Panisonic 58" 4K scrren with HDMI.

Yes, P3D's full screen is not just borderless window mode.

And thank you all again for your continuing support.

That video was a clue ... are you running Win10 virtual desktops? If so, I recommend you turn that off.

 

Your video (below) is definitely running at 1080p ... here is a screenshot of your video on YouTube:

 

 

And now here is a screenshot of one of my video below on YouTube (both set to same size on YouTube):

 

 

As you can see, my Loading progress dialog box is much smaller than yours because this is native 3840 x 2160. You are most definitely running at 1080, not 3840 x 2160.

 

Cheers, Rob.
