April 4, 20224 yr I have enabled the recently introduced Scaling functionality in the NVIDIA Control Panel with the latest NVIDIA GPU driver 512.15. I thought I would share my findings. To my surprise the results are very good. Higher FPS and more smooth sim everywhere I fly. I now have much smoother sim over big cities and in big airports. I just enabled scaling and turned off sharpening. I have not made any changes to any setting in P3D. I run 3x4k tvs at 26 Hz. Would be great to know if anyone else is having any luck with the NVIDIA scaling, as I think it actually works.
April 4, 20224 yr LGKR, knowing your video card at a minimum would be nice. I believe a lot of the older Nvidia cards may not find any benefit from the updated drivers, as the underlying technology may not be able to support them.

I believe a RTX 30 series GPU is a minumum. I have a RTX3090.

April 4, 20224 yr On my 3080ti/1440p system, no FPS increase and it makes the desktop and other apps run at the scaled resolution so not great. DSR would be nice.

Same experience here on a 2080 Super/1440 res monitor. The downside you mentioned makes the feature not worthwhile for me.

I thought it only scaled apps/games that were purposefully run at a lower resolution than the desktop/system? I left the desktop at 4k and turned MSFS down to 1440P and 1080P allowing Nvidia scaling to scale the output back up to 4K. It ran a lot better than native 4k, but I couldn't really tell the difference from running the in-sim resolution scaler. Edited April 4, 20224 yr by Dazzlercee23

Full screen here. 1 hour ago, Dazzlercee23 said: I thought it only scaled apps/games that were purposefully run at a lower resolution than the desktop/system? Indeed, I set my resolution in the sim to 1920x1080 (same aspect ratio as my monitor)... didn't make a difference. I checked both GPU usage and CPU usage in MSI Afterburner thru several test flights and saw no difference. 1 hour ago, Dazzlercee23 said: Are you running full screen or windowed mode?

I checked both GPU usage and CPU usage in MSI Afterburner thru several test flights and saw no difference. Full screen mode here also. I also thought you'd have to reduce in-sim screen esolution, but on my system I have set the in-sim resolution to 4k same as the tvs. The improvement in fps/smoothness was instant. When testing you need to enable the overlay in the menu to see that scaling is active - the overlay is in green colour when scaling is active.

But you do have to lower your screen resolution for it to do anything, so this makes zero sense. Sounds like a placebo tbh.
April 5, 20224 yr As i have understood from NVIDIA, with the scaling feature of the RTX drivers set to active, the frames and pixels of a game are rendered with a lower resolution internally by the GPU tensor cores. The pixels left out are then upfilled by the DL algorythms to upscale the Frames to the target resolution set in the game. This speeds up the renderprocess significantly. Because the GPU is demanding less pixelinformations from the CPU and can faster render each frame and pixel. I have just read an article in a famous PC-games magazine where they explained how it works and tested the feature and affirm it works very well and boost up renderperformance. And it´s getting better over time because of the ongoing evolving better DL algorythms at NVIDIA and provide them with driverupdates.
