I got 344.24 installed but I can't get DSR settings to stick. I click apply and it just resets to off. Bleh.

[lumpyhed]

If you have SLI enabled apparently it doesn't work.

Lame!

Gief driver plx, I want DSR and MFAA.

[BababooeyHTJ]

Mfaa does sound nice

[bill dennison]

With the launch of Maxwell we are introducing the world to Multi-Frame Anti-Aliasing (MFAA). This new, Maxwell-exclusive anti-aliasing technique improves edge quality with a minimal performance cost, and helps you enjoy anti-aliased games at ultra high resolutions like 4K

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/mfaa

think they will back off of that ?

and DSR after getting 135 with 680 sli at 4k with Fire Strike Ultra, I don't think DSR will be much use with less than 4gb cards

[SirBaron]

Nah they stated at the start that it's Maxwell only, DSR they said will make it to older cards, as for cards with less than 4GB, I'd say 780 with 3GB can handle it but it depends on the games.

[BababooeyHTJ]

Sucks but they claim that it has something to do with their memory compression or something. I would be more inclined to upgrade or a little upset if it effected sgssaa which I use more often tbh.

[demo]

Yeh from what I understand it's to do with temporal/alternating samples done via hardware, which only Maxwell supports. 4xMFAA is basically 2xMSAA with alternating samples iiuc. A better explanation can be found here at 21 mins.

Good news on DSR btw. Plenty of games to use it on. Plenty of people including myself already downsample without issue, bill.

good news yes but you have 3gb cards and are not on 1600p already
and they got to get it working with sli fully

[Mangler]

I can't downsample at all with the ROG, so it is kind of a bummer that I can't get DSR working with SLI like some people.

[SirBaron]

You don't have to use DSR at 4K you know, If a game is quite demanding I often downscale from 2800x or 3200x etc resolutions.

[|MaguS|]

I tried DSR and it broke my PC til reboot. Entire display flickered like crazy.

That doesn't change anything I said. DSR is still a very useful feature, even without 4GB of video memory. They do need to fix SLi support though.

I would love to be using it in legend of grimrock right now

DSR FOR EVERYONE!

Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) For Fermi & Kepler GeForce GTX Desktop GPUs

Alongside our record-breaking, critically-acclaimed GeForce GTX 980 and 970 graphics cards, we introduced a new software feature that enables gamers to enjoy 4K-quality graphics on any HD screen. Called Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR), the tech is built into GeForce Experience’s game setting recommendations, allowing players to dramatically increase image quality with a single click. How it works is simple: compatible games are rendered at a higher, more detailed resolution, and the image is intelligently shrunk back down to the resolution of your monitor using a custom-made filter, giving you up to 4K-quality graphics on your screen.

With the new Game Ready drivers installed, you can now use this exciting, easy to use feature on GeForce GTX 500, 600, 700 and 900 Series GeForce GTX graphics cards.

No MFAA though.







I am teh sad, DSR still does not work with SLI.

[Meteor_of_War]

Well I know what I'll be doing tonight.

And that sucks about no SLI. This is a feature SLI would be perfect for.

[BababooeyHTJ]

Cool, I'll be trying this out in grimrock 2 tonight.

[acroig]

DSR FOR EVERYONE!I am teh sad, DSR still does not work with SLI.

Wow, I hope they fix this ASAP.

I also want a 3D Stereo driver for Alien: Isolation.

[Mangler]

Looks like SLI and DSR not working is a gsync/dp/Rog Swift issue, it should be working for everyone else.

[Meteor_of_War]

I guess that would explain the confusion of some claiming it works with SLI and some claiming it doesn't.

[BababooeyHTJ]

Nice, can't wait to try it out

[acroig]

Nice, can't wait to try it out

+1, keeping fingers crossed.

[|MaguS|]

Don't bother with DSR, the quality of the downsampling is pretty bad. I find GeDoSaTo to be a far better option.

[Mangler]

Isn't that tool still limited to dx9?

[|MaguS|]

Isn't that tool still limited to dx9?

and DX10, it's constantly being updated as well as its independent of your native resolution so you can go all the way up to 8K if your PC can run a game at that resolution. Not forgetting that it also adds the ability to load textures and extra graphics if someone creates (or you do if you know how) to edit the profile for the specific game so force HBAO, SMAA and other effects in games that normally might not offer it.

I will say DSR is far easier to use... but if you really care it doesn't look that great (I tried a few games and didn't care for it). DSR also doesn't work with overclocking your monitor (I run mine at 70hz).

[Mangler]

I know what it is, but as long as it does not work with dx11, DSR is still useful, since they have a tendency to be the games with the worst AA solutions.

[Dave]

As with the previous driver, DSR works just fine for me with SLI

[Megaman]

What is a DSR compatible game? Anything that doesn't have its own resolution scale setting?

[Mangler]

More or less any game that supports resolutions highers than your own displays native res.

There are some exceptions though, apparently some games using unity do not work with dsr, same thing with games that only runs in windowed mode.

Excellent. Might piss fart around with a few games tonight.

I have seen nothing wrong with DSR, no image problems or anything, looks pretty damn good to me.

d/ling the new driver now. is dsr a select-able option via the control panel?

[SirBaron]

Yeah you get options like 1.25x etc, I just tick them all and choose which resolution best fits the performance.

[jolle]

The driver install crapped out on me first time.
Chose to do a clean install, and during the update, via Geforce Experience, geforce experience just threw an error, shut down itself and the driver update.
then windows just went ahead and downloaded some older driver from windows update..
But after a restart I ran the installation again and it went fine.

srry, but where exactly is it within the control panel?

[Mangler]

Manage 3d settings>global settings.

[Dungeoncrawler]

Manage 3d settings>global settings.

much appreciated.

edit - strange, my sli titans has something called double precision where my tri-sli 680's has the standard dsr setting.

[Meteor_of_War]

Finally just sat down at the home PC to D/L the new driver and play with DSR!

Must say I'm kind of excited.
