    Sager NP9377-s with dual 980s. I didn't see an option for DSR in Nvidia control panel. Is there some way to force it?

    Maybe @Mr. Fox can try doing this.. As far as I know, he's quite experienced tweaking desktop drivers etc.. Do it only if you have some spare time to do so Mr Fox!

    You can do this with a custom resolution. It's the same thing, the game will downsample.

    I ran the Witcher 2 @ 3200x1800 resolution and was able to turn off AA because it looked so nice. Framer ate averaged 66FPS on my machine doing that.

    Interesting, I can go upto 3200x1800 using this method but not full 4k resolution it just gives a black screen with a grey line on the top edge. Would think 4k would give better results based on linear 2:1 scaling on the 1920x1080 panel.

    It'll give better results based on the fact that it's a higher resolution... also are you on an eDP panel? It might let you go higher if on eDP as opposed to LVDS.

    Yeah eDP on the Chi Mei panel 72% ntsc TN. It's interesting I get about 50% of the fps that I would get at 1080p when I use the 1800p resolution.
