Scaling mode, which one? [Preserve Aspect Ratio, Full Panel or Center]

Post by axaro1 » 18 Jun 2020, 02:49

I have a 5700xt + a 1080p 240hz monitor, which scaling mode should I use?

GPU scaling is already disabled to lower input lag so I was wondering which scaling mode I should use.

why aren't you rendering at the native resolution?

I'm rendering every single game at 1080p on my 1080p monitor but I'm forced to choose one of these 3 modes for panel scaling(and idk which one I should use for displaying 1080p content 1:1, I don't play games at lower or higher resolutions), the other option is GPU scaling that I want to avoid.

There isn't any scaling unless you're changing one resolution into another.

I don't think it matters, they should all be the same.

Try to see/test if theres any difference at all.
