octi thanks haha right in time.My xbox 360 controller comes early next week

 

Any success stories? Not working here yet, still trying a few things. Lenovo Y500 650M SLI no Optimus 347.52.

LOL what does DSR have to do with any of that

 

This is what patch actually does with nvidia's registry

I havent tryied it i just downloaded it and will wait few days until the new drivers come out and if they dont have dsr enabled i will try this tweak.The controller is bought just for fifa 15 so that we can play one vs one on one screen with DSR enabled haha

 

Hmm... I'll guinea pig it later.

So basically DSR is Supersampling? (Apologies for the ignorance, just read nvidia's 1 paragraph blurb)..

How does this differ from me just playing the game at 3200x1800 from a performance perspective?

 

If your monitor is 900p you can use GEDOSATO or DSR. 1st gives bilinear/bicubic/lancoz/nearest downsample filters, AA ("smaa" or "fxaa") and postprocessing but is third-party, feels such and not very stable on some games.
DSR gives gaussian filter and feels nicely buil-in.

 

Yeah DSR is just downsampling.

Isn't 3200x1800 your native? You can't use DSR unless you're at native res. So DSR lets you downsample from up to 4x native resolution (6400x3600 for you) for better AA and much worse FPS.

Most importantly, DSR works in DX10+ games.

 

DSR is of limited use without SLI support. I have just been making custom resolutions myself but I'm sure DSR is faster.

DSR does work with SLI, just not with SLI + G-Sync

 

This patch doesn't apparently.

From his site: Doesn’t work yet in SLI mode. (Use single mode)

noob question...what is DSR??

 

Oh, he added that update since I last checked.

I used DDU, reinstalled 347.52, installed his patch, and tried both disabling SLI in Nvidia Control Panel and physically removing the 2nd GPU. The two DSR options show up but they don't do anything. Dunno, maybe my panel?

Does it work for you in single GPU?

Dynamic Super Resolution, just a fancy name for downsampling from a higher resolution for supersampling anti-aliasing (SSAA)

 

LOL read Gamenab's response in the comments:

Uh, wut? SSAA doesn't affect performance?

So now I'm almost certain his patch doesn't actually enable DSR, it just makes the options superficially appear in Nvidia Control Panel.

 

If DSR is available for "GTX" series cards, your 650Ms will never see the option. I think some other features like Shadowplay have that requirement too.

 

Wrong. I have DSR - Factors and DSR - Smoothness in Nvidia Control Panel Global 3D Settings, they just don't do anything.

ShadowPlay works just fine with -shadowplay at the end of GFE shortcut. That's an artificial limitation just like mobile DSR is.

Why don't you try the patch see what it does for you?

 

I assume what Gamenab did is you WOULD see DSR options IF DSR WORKED on GTX660M but was artificially limited for GT650M.

On techinferno people downloaded Win10 driver R349 and it also did show DSR yet it didn't work on 9xxM.

 

Right, as if there's any difference between GT 650M and GTX 660M aside from stock clocks and voltage.

I'm not gonna make any assumptions until someone with a GTX GPU has tried the patch. It's been out for a day and I'm the only one who's tried so far? Really?

 

I don't try it because literally I'm too lazy. I don't have much need for DSR either; only a couple of games I see a real use for it.

Besides, if I need to disable SLI, that REALLY kills the ability for me to try it.

 

Yeah! Everybody act like to install it is like trying some kind of real program of who knows what it does or so. What it does is just sets couple registry values and that's it! Not even creating a registry entries! No drivers, no script, no anything!
I thought there will be more of those who try this.

 

I'm feeling too lazy to try it right now, I'll get around to it.

Well I just bought Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition soooooooooooo I guess I'll test this patch after it installs.

It did not put a DSR entry in my 344.91 control panel, let me rollback to 344.75

Did you reboot after installing the Gamenab patch?

 

I did. I disabled SLI, installed the patch, and rebooted. No DSR.

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

 

Just disabling SLI in Nvidia Control Panel isn't enough. You have to physically remove the 2nd GPU.

What we need is a single GTX GPU non-Optimus laptop to try this patch. MSI GT72, Clevo P77xZM/P75xZM, ASUS G751, old AW, etc.

Heck, Optimus systems try it too. No one has a clear idea what works and what doesn't because there's been almost zero feedback.

 

No DSR.



Has anyone examined the exe to see exactly what it does? I hope I didn't just install a backdoor or some other mess. Why use an installer for a regedit?

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

 

Ethrem, thanks for trying. I guess someone should post this in Gsync thread and owner lounge of MSI GT72. Perhaps at least there it will work but I give 50-50.

I sayed I did. Nothing except creating temp files and setting up registry values for Nvidia settings and for program itself (version, about, uninstall etc)

 

Tried it on both 345.20 and 344.75 and neither worked. Yes I rebooted and tried a clean install.

I'm actually worried this is some sort of malware or backdoor as well. Didn't detect anything suspicious with Avast though.

 

You have optimus, which disables the ability of DSR working.

 

No way am I pulling a GPU to try a mod... Go post in MSI forum, sure you can get someone there.

 

Thanks for feedback. As D2 Ultima stated, if you have Optimus, that is probably blocking you.

I think the exe is safe. Scanned it through several different AV.

Then don't. I know it's a more involved process on other notebooks compared to the Y500.

 

new driver just came out http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/download-nvidia-geforce-347-71-driver.html
some very positive comments about this driver with hotfix.I wait for a notebook link

 

Here you go

What's the point, though? MFAA is only supported on Maxwell.

 

@Ethrem Did you try to disable GPU #2 in Device Manager and reboot?

 

No, I can try that later today.

Update:

 

lol. His drivers must be made out of fairy dust

 

Gamenab.net got taken down again

 

Is DSR options only supposed to show in global settings?

 

Hello all!

I'm an ASUS G751JY Owner and I have also tested the DSR Patch from Gamenab with more than 1 driver. I have tested it with 347.25 G-Sync Modded Driver. with 345.20 Official Driver and 347.52 Official Driver.
On the 347.25 Modded drivers the DSR settings don't even appear in the NVidia Control Panel. There is just NVidia Quality Upscaling On/Off.
On the 345.20 Official Drivers there is nothing showing in NVidia Control Panel. Not even that NVidia Quality Upscaling
And on the 347.52 Official Drivers the patch does work and after the reboot I can see the DSR settings in the NVidia Control Panel. But they are not working and they are just appearing in the Global Settings tab. I have tested many games and from what I know, when DSR is enabled I should have been able to select a higher resolution than my 1920x1080p one, which is the native resolution for my display. But I can't see any other resolutions over 1920x1080 in any of the games that I have installed: Crysis 3, AC Unity, Call of Juarez, NFS Rivals (are some of them).

I also can't access gamenab's website since yesterday. Is it just me or is his website down ? Btw, I'm that guy, George, who was asking him about the performance hit on the website.

 

It didn't seem like they were working with me either.

 

There is no in game setting. When you see the DSR options, you can choose the upscale factor (up to 4x) and it will do everything automatically for you when you launch a game. I don't believe this patch ever worked other than putting the option in the control panel, its likely disabled in the nVidia driver itself by either directly blocking mobile Maxwell (device IDs like 10DE:13D7 for the 980M could have been added to a block somewhere) or nVidia could have just omitted the mobile IDs in the enabled section for DSR and we just need to figure out how to mod the driver itself. It was easy on old school hackintosh. We would just insert our IDs into a single configuration file (plist) and reboot and voila. I doubt it's going to be that easy in this case.

Gamenab's site is down again for last 15 hours so now I am more than sure that he is a troll. That's the first time I call him like this but it was obvious that something was wrong with him since the very beginning. Remember his "Nvidia locked me down", "Everybody calls me a troll so I quit and take my time", all other crap.
Nobody should take him serious now and report to PayPal as a fraud.

 

Yeah, it's only in global settings. All it does is enable those downsampling resolutions to be selected in-game and adjusts the blur filter. If you don't actually choose a higher than 1080p resolution in games, DSR doesn't work.

My issue with the patch was I could adjust the DSR Factors and Smoothness in Nvidia Control Panel, but the higher resolutions didn't appear in games.

DSR is not automatic. It's like regular downsampling, you have to actually select the higher resolutions in-game before it works.

 

What's the point of DSR over a custom resolution then?

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

 

DSR does up to 4x native (e.g. 4K on a 1080p screen) while most can't get that high by creating a custom res. For example my Y500 tops out at 2560x1440.

Also the adjustable 13-tap Gaussian filter is of higher quality than the default bicubic filter used by the Nvidia driver for upsampling and downsampling.

 

I see, I see. I got 3K on my SM-A but the performance hit was too much not to mention the tiny text. I didn't try 4K as I already couldn't read my OSD anymore at 3K. Custom resolution makes me a bit nervous of damaging the screen too. It actually applied it to the desktop... Seems risky to push the panel like that to me.
