What happened? DSR

[Anomaly1964]

All the sudden, by nothing I did, my monitor went from 1920x1080 to 2715x1527???

I did get a new video card (listed in my signature) but it just happened without me doing anything?

I tried some games at that resolution but I see MUCH less now, like everything is very close up?

What is going on?

Dunno... just reset the screen resolution and see if it does it again. You have basically the same setup as my GAME rig, never had that happen personally...

Sounds like DSR (dynamic super res) is enabled and monitor lost signal (or some background driver upgrade) that caused windows to redetect display. Windows will usually set display to highest native resolution, which I guess Nvidia overrides with DSR resolution. Just a guess though, check the 3D global settings to see if DSR is set.

You sure you're not just standing/sitting closer to the screen? Haha, I'm just messing.

Maybe you accidentally hit a combination of hotkeys. I'll never forget the first time I made my desktop turn upside down by accident.

That's 2x DSR setting for 1920x1080. But DSR is not enabled by default. Re-install driver, and choose clean installation I guess.

It's DSR. Just change it back.

Cool...I did some reading up on it. Why if it increases resolution do you see LESS in a game, shouldnt you see MORE?

Sounds like a bug. The resolution didn't downscale.

From what little I understand, it seems like its blowing the image up with more pixels but not re-sizing it to fit my monitor so I see less of what is going on. For lack of a better term its like it's ZOOMED in...

I tried it on my 1080p tn panel before I moved to 1440p and the difference dsr made was to only make the UI and such smaller. No real difference in quality so I switch because some things look fuzzy.

Buggy drivers unlike what everybody says.

It's happened to me a couple times in the past when I was playing farcry 4 running a 970. Running a 144Hz screen so around 100fps or so was much better than the xtra eye candy/viewing area. I did play around with DSR a little bit but preferred higher frame rates in the end. Once in a while when I started up the game it would look just like you described. To me it looked like one fourth or so of the screen blown up.

DDU and clean install of drivers seems to fix the issue for me.

I'm starting to notice 60 fps isn't enough, but there is no 4k screen that does above that. Could you oc a 4k screen to hit 75hz? I feel that would be enough for me.
