How to force 'DISPLAY SCALING'
Posted: 23 Mar 2017, 14:47
My question is simple.
How can you confirm display scaling is being used over gpu scaling? Also, how do you FORCE display scaling?
I ask because my primary objective is to achieve the lowest amount of input lag possible. You can say I'm a bit of an input lag fanatic and I've already tweaked my system in virtually every way to achieve this goal, BUT, GPU & Display scaling raised some questions.
I already know display scaling offers less input lag than gpu scaling. After much research on display & gpu scaling I've come across some troubling threasd. For starters, some say Nvidia automatically uses GPU scaling for anything above 60hz. I've also found some INFO that suggest even if display scaling is checked in say the nvidia control panel, GPU scaling is still being used. Under what conditions does this happen? I don't know for sure...
I've also run tests where I lower my resolution along with refresh rate and check to see if my monitor's OSD reports the same. I have the Asus VG248QE and it typically almost always reports the same resolution and refresh rate so that should suggest display scaling is being used, correct?
I've also read that some suggest 144hz defaults to gpu scaling? 144hz should offer the lowest amount of input lag but if the GPU is scaling the image rather than display, this would incorporate more input lag.
I also ran into a problem where I used toastyx CRU, and ever since rebooting my system, the 'Use Display Scaling' option has FREAKING DISAPPEARED!! Now the only option available is GPU scaling. This confuses me as well! If my OSD reports the same resolution and refresh rate as my current settings, doesn't that imply that display scaling is being used? Are there circumstances where GPU scaling is being used even if my OSD reports the same settings? I did notice that when I set my refresh rate to 119hz, my OSD reports 120hz. Does this imply GPU scaling is being enforced?
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it but I'm pretty confused at this point.
My goal - FORCE DISPLAY SCALING WITH CONFIRMATION
Maintaining the highest refresh rate is not my goal.. I can comfortably go with virtually any refresh rate at or above 110 as long as display scaling is being used. I apologize if this thread is jumping all over the place, I'm just lookign for answers along with a means to force display scaling and know for sure display scaling is being enforced.
Thanks in advance!
