Using DSR in FSX but it really cuts into the fps so wondered if anyone tried it in P3D yet.

Had to do a Google search to find out what DSR is. I gather this is for folks with NVIDIA cards? Nothing against acronyms, being retired military and all, but 'tis nice to include what that means!:encouragement: NC

Yep, meant nothing to me either and I'm not a "tweaker" by nature so if it doesn't do this out of the box, it's not anything that would interest me.

I have DSR active on my GTX970 / P3D V2.4. Didn't notice any fps penalty.


Cheers,

I tried it. A little performance hit, but not to bad, but TBH, I thought the image quality was worse than using the native resolution & some AA. Increasing the AA with DSR also increased the perf hit. My graphics card isn't top end (GTX760) so better cards won't suffer so much.

I used the DSR to 2.0x with my old GTX480 and the results were quite nice, but the performance hit was noticable.
Now I have a GTX970 but I haven't reactivated the DSR yet.

yes I stopped playing around with Nvidea ins when I found DSR ,very sharp image and no FPS hit and no jaggies in sight,it is easy to activate and change settings,you need to use full frame setting in the sim to activate ,works fine for my old gtx570 and now my asus strix gtx970 peter

I use a combination of DSRx2 + 4xAA in game. DSR smoothness is set to 0.2. I have a GTX970 and there is no performance hit. The results are very good in image sharpness, especially for reading VC instruments. Check out this screenshot that was taken using these settings:

I also use DSR 2x with 4xMSAA in game and my old GTX670 card takes no noticeable performance hit.
I prefer DSR because without it, I needed NVidia Inspector AA Sparse Grid Super Sampling which seriously kills frame rates with clouds / smoke FX.
What I also like about DSR is that the ATC/checklist popups are smaller (they were quite large on my 1680 x 1050 screen).

I tried DSR with FSX but at down sampled DSR 4k I was getting jerky pans so went back to 1080p instead. And that is with three 980 cards.

I wanted to buy P3D to see if DSR would work better but they are having a problem with their site and I cannot get to the checkout area.

P3D looks great, with no jerkiness, at 4x DSR 3840x2400.

Makes an even bigger difference with DCS. The planes look amazing.
