Mobile DSR patch (currently doesn't work)

There's no risk of damaging a screen through downsampling. After you create them, you have those higher resolutions available in-game, but you keep desktop resolution at 1080p or whatever your native is.

The OSD shrinks proportionally to the downsampling factor but you can scale it up in RTSS to compensate.

 

What I'm saying is that when I am in game, if I alt-tab, I am still in that resolution. 1440p anyway, that's the only one I use. It's odd because it doesn't always happen. Driver glitch? Who knows.

Oh yeah, that's normal when alt-tabbing. It's like if you game at 800x600, alt-tab or press Windows key and the desktop is humongous. Doesn't return to native until you actually close down the game. Anyway, no harm to downsampling. People have been doing it for years.

 

Usually when I alt-tab, it goes back to native resolution with the exception of borderless window that I'm forced to use with a few games that won't stay full screen any other way (both sleeping dogs, updated FF7 and FF8, The Last Remnant - don't know why Square games don't like to do Full-screen on my machine) It's when the game crashes that I get stuck at whatever it was at, that's what I found odd. It was interesting seeing the panel do 1440p though.

Well good reason to have DSR if you're uneasy about regular downsampling as DSR makes it independent of monitor hardware

 

Thief didn't work ..no choices over 1080p, but Modor did. Did 150% no problem on the benchmark, 200% [4k] was like 21min/27avg on stock, bet some OC and some small tweaks would cover the difference to completely playable.

...gives me a new appreciation of just how GODLY the 980 m really is.

 

SoM has downsampling built-in

 

I haven't even got around to playing it, but I didn't know that. Tomb Raider & Hitman didn't seem to work either. I'm going to try the rest of what I have installed.

 

Yep, SoM has its own built-in downsampling. Tomb Raider has SSAA. Hitman: Absolution has MSAA.

I think it's pretty safe to say at this point that this DSR patch simply doesn't work.

 

No need to launch a game to see that it doesn't work. Just open Control Panel here.

Anyway i did test this in several drivers and above all what i found is: THIS IS ONLY A COSMETIC CHANGE DONE IN NVIDIA PANEL...

Doesn't work in any games!!

Did test several games and none game me an option to resize above 1920x1080...

So this so called "registry hack" is nothing but a cosmetic change in registry to show upscaling resolutions on NVIDIA PANEL.

Until proved the contrary i'll stay in 345.20 modded driver

 

@joluke : Yeah, the same here. The biggest resolution that I can see in game or NVidia control panel is still 1920x1080...

What is the mod for the 345.20 ? I didn't hear anything about this until now. Is it a G-Sync mod, DSR Mod or OC Mod ?

 

Modded driver! See here:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/index.php?threads/772018/

 

Oh, thank you! But, I see that the driver is mainly for Clevos and Alienware with unlocked VBios... I am owning an ASUS G751JY and I do not think that they will work for my machine as the VBios is locked.

 

unlocked vBIOS does not matter. Modifying the .inf to let it install does.

If your vBIOS is locked I feel very very sorry for you.

 

This is how you end up when you do not have enough money to buy a Clevo... But the G751JY is great to be honest. It only has some restrictions when it comes to maintenance and tunning. Though I can use a custom VBios at any time, I wouldn't go so far just for an OC. I love my warranty and I wouldn't risk it for 3-4 FPS, especially when the Gtx980M is powerful enough even at stock clocks.

 

^Wut? This gen Clevo is waayyy cheaper than ASUS, AW, and MSI.

 

Yo, yo! Thatz what you gut piple when you don't have enough mony to buy Acer, ha-ha!

 

Not in my country. Over here, the cheapest Clevo with 980m was about 1666Euro's and the G751JY with Gtx980m was 1420 Euros. With the difference of 250Euros I could buy 1 256GB SSD and 8 more GB's of RAM.

 

What country was this? I'll buy the BGA junk G751 now!!!

 

@TomJGX : Welcome to Romania my friend ! But as I said, this is the cheap version, without SSD and only 8GB DRAM. But the Clevo was the same, so the comparison still stands up.

 

Apparently, this patch enables DSR on SLI+G-Sync desktops, which is otherwise locked out by Nvidia. Currently, you can have SLI+DSR/SLI+G-Sync/G-Sync+DSR but you cannot have SLI+G-Sync+DSR.

Nah, they discovered the same: it gives options but doesn't actually enable it.

 

It works for some ppl in the thread

 

Yeah, 3 guys say it doesn't and 2 members with 86 posts total for both claim it does.
Perhaps it's just a luck again where Nvidia locked some minority because other majority which can't have it enabled would complain even louder as was with MSI GT72.

 

I don't know why this is even a thread anymore. The thing doesn't work and the OP should be edited to reflect that.

 

Thread title changed.
