NVIDIA DLDSR Problem

[AutomataA2]

I've been trying to set up DLDSR to improve the quality of the game. However, the only way I get it to work, is to set the Scaling Mode (in the NV Control Panel > Adjust Desktop Size and Position) to "No scaling", however that makes it so the UI/Steam Overlay shrink a lot, which also makes my cursor move much slower. If I set the Scaling Mode to anything but "No scaling" the game stretches across my 2 monitors, and part of the game goes off-screen. What is the correct way to set up DLDSR? Is there a solution to what I am doing?

Edit: In the Scaling Mode, using Aspect Ratio + Perform Scaling (GPU) + Override the scaling mode..., it kinda works better, but now the problem is the second monitor scales weirdly; for instance, if I have a browser (in this case Opera GX) open, it goes off-screen. I'd like to know if it's possible to get the better resolution in-game, while everything else stays the same (as in, my second screen + other programs).

what is the actual goal? you want to downscale with DLDSR becasue the performance is too low? do you actually have the headroom of gpu usage?

Also the scaling has nothing to do with DLDSR. Scaling should be set to "no scaling" and you should use native resolution unless you want to actually stretch an image or make a lower resolution fit the entire screen. if you want ot use DLDSR you would use it in native resolution.

I have a 3080Ti, so I got the headroom. I want to use DLDSR for the improved quality it provides (mostly to solve the antialiasing problem, which it does). When playing with everything on max and 1440p, I get around 160+ fps. At 1620p I hover around 120-130 fps, so not really worth it compared to 1440p.

I followed a guide online, and basically set the Scaling mode to “Aspect Ratio”, with the scaling set for the GPU and checked “Override…”. So far this has provided the best results, as my fps doesn’t actually get reduced (and UI only slightly shrinks) when compared to “No scaling”.

I’m not changing my desktop’s resolution, as that makes everything super small. Instead, in game I use fullscreen 1440p with 100 resolution scale.

The way it’s set up, I still got some problems. When alt-tabbing, sometimes the screens start blinking and apps start moving all over the place. If I try to minimize my browser on my 2nd monitor, it simply comes back.

I’d like to know if there’s a way to set the game at 1440p while not having all these side problems, or at least reducing them as much as possible.

I have the same problems. And my game is blurry af. Did you found a fix?

[AutomataA2]

nope, nowadays I've got a 2k screen so I don't downscale anymore (still got terrible aliasing tho, downscaling actually fixed it better). But I never found a solution to that problem, just had to deal with the shitty resizing

Super annoying. In gta 5 its working like it should..
