Was sure where to put this and this thread seemed like a good place.
My 1440p monitor is unlike many as it can can accept a native 4k input and automatically downsample it to 1440p, this means if I want downsampling I don't have to mess about with DRS or any other trickery as every modern games has 4k showing as an option in the menu.
So I've been playing with CP2077 and it's DLSS modes and found that:
1. Native 1440p looks loads better than DLSS balanced (Balanced is often recommended for 1440p)
2. Balanced mode misses loads of fine detail compared to native 1440p but does provide a more stable image.
3. Setting the games output resolution to 4k with DLSS on performance mode produces an infinitely better image that both native 1440p and 1440p DLSS balanced mode.
With option 3 the game is 1080p to 4k using DLSS and then the monitor downsampling back to 1440p and it looks awesome, I wish there was a way for me to capture it as MSI Afterburner grabs just show a 3840x2160 .PNG image as it can't show the downsampling my monitor is doing internally.
This shows what I'm seeing, the barb wire shows what I'm talking about.
