With my 980TI, I started using DSR. Turned the smoothness down to 10% and made sure AA is off where framerate was starting to dip below 60. Monitor is a dell 3008wfp which is still going strong!
In games like BF4 and Skyrim the difference is huge. By far the best graphical upgrade I've done. However, in Dota2 and Heroes of the Storm, the DSR output isn't all that different than native 2560x1600. Anyone want to guess why? I'm curious.
Being able to play BF4 at 60fps with DSR at 2x with everything on Ultra (no AA) is absolutly beautiful. It seem to really bring out the lighting, textures and effects. Same with Skyrim. Skyrim really just feels like a new game all of a sudden especially coupled with 4k texture mods, lighting & weather overhaul and a few other top rated mods on nexus.
Normally when new graphical features come out, they're most clearly seen in comparison images such as HBAO, SSAO, different types of AA but DSR benefits really hit you in the face. Since most games are now console ports and if optimized run into the 100+ fps range, being able to use DSR and putting your GPU to work to really enhance the visuals is a welcomed bonus.
It's not all great though. I just found out that DSR and G-Sync do not work together so my enthusiasm for a new G-Sync monitor is quite deflated. Still major credit to nvidia for bringing this tech out and making it easy to implement. Perhaps the best feature I can recall since HDR.
