1080p gaming on 1440p monitor

[tweakboy]

I just started to play games on my U2711 and it turn out even my rig can't handle 1440p so I turned it down to 1080p and then my screen is blurred out like it had Vaseline smeared all over it.

Is there a way to get around this. It look worst than my old 1050p monitor D:

Your 1440p will give some good results. YOu wanna overclock the monitor then go to nvpanel. gl

oh yes the mythical 1/4 res looks as good as native claim. lol

no , never said that, it just is dividable , so it should be easier to scale than 1440>1080 .

For some reason GPU scaling looks absolutely terrible. If your display has its own scaler, try using that instead. Some games try to override it but at least Nvidia has a "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs" setting in the "Adjust desktop size and position" tab of their control panel.

I regularly game at 1080p on my Dell 3008WFP and if using the display's own scaler the reduction in image quality is not all that terrible. I usually don't use much antialiasing at that res because the image is already smoothed a bit.

I don't have 1440 monitor but I do run my Dell 1600x1200 at 1280x1024 with scaling set to display and it's sharp .
I guess you need good monitor for scaling to work good with display or you end up using GPU with blurry outcome .

your vision must be poor as you dont even notice the distortion of running a 5:4 res on your 4:3 screen.

I didn't realize I was in 5:4 ( I just picked closest highest res to 1600x1200 ) but I just tried both and honestly don't notice much difference , both look sharp with text .
I will leave it at 1280x960 .

BTW , my eys are 56 yrs old so yeh, I guess not best like they were in my 20-30's .
