    Hey guys,

    Well, i'm the dummy and i'm wondering about downampling. I'm not sure on how it works.

    For what i understand you set your monitor on a higher res (say 4k instead of QHD) and you ask your vid card to put the games back to QHD when you play ?

    Is it worth it on a 1440p monitor ? If so i would need to use 4k resolution and downample the game to 1440p ? That would probably require two titan X SLI to be smooth ?

    Is anyone using downsampling ?

    TIA :)

    Nvidia has a built in downsampling feature now called DSR. Just turn it on and go :)
