This might make it easier to see the difference. Hoping that Nvidia continues working on DSR but enables it for "retro" resolutions such as 1024 x 768, renders it at a multiple and then scales it down and aspect ratio corrects it to 1080p. In games that are not demanding like Toca Race Driver 3 or Doom 3 it works quite well. Even 16x AA was less demanding than rendering at 2160p. The issue is that very old games usually do not support 1920 x 1080, sometimes through tweaks, but even then often with issues like UI stretch.

At 3840 x 2160 you either need a very powerful system or play very old games. Just click it and wait for the dropdown to. Nvidia control panel does this when you enable DSR for the first time). Have you enabled DSR in nvidia control panel 3D Settings->Manage 3D Settings->Global Settings->DSR - Factors. Turning it on is as simple as enabling the different DSR factors within NVIDIA Control Panel (NVCP).

You can also tweak it with a slider in the Nvidia control panel if you like. Export your Nvidia DSR registry settings (you should only ever need to do this. I've done a quick video on how to enable NVIDIA DSR. The image is softer, no doubt, but it's consistent and not that bad to be honest. Welcome to a quick tutorial on how to enable NVIDIA dynamic super resolution aka DSR on your GeForce graphics card.DSR lets you run your monitor on a higher. In the Bioshock scene there is a lot more detail on the door to the left. I can also see that rendering at higher resolutions leaves you with a more detailed image. So old games that use HDR like Far Cry or Chaos Theory or other games like Dead Space turn out beautifully with DSR. EVGA 2070 Super XC no option for DRS setting in Nvidia Control Panel Hey all, just got a new 2070 Super XC, but cannot see, nor find any DSR settings in the control panel, I am using triple displays, all the same make/model, on DP inputs. What stands out is that it works with games that otherwise don't support AA or need complicated hacks.
NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL DSR 1080P
You really have to watch it at 1080p and on a 1080p panel. I made a little video, an external capture card allowed to record it. Now that Nvidia has enabled this technology in older cards and mentions that it works well to improve the visuals of older games I had to test it our on my GTX 660 with some games.
