[kde] [Bug 431494] Being able to set a higher resolution than your monitor has
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431494 --- Comment #11 from Toadfield --- But fxaa looks very bad. If the game would get rendered in higher resolution,then it would look much better. This isn't a niche use case,many games don't have ssaa support,but most pc's can handle it for older games. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I mean if I set 2160p in the game and it downscales to 1080p,then wouldn't the game look better? Cause then it would work like ssaa. And if I don't want the higher resolution in game,I could just set 1080p in game. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

When you are playing the game, check your monitor's on-screen display (or monitor's settings panel) to find out the resolution and refresh rate of the input signal. > Try to watch a 2160p video to see if that makes any difference. Actually, if your resolution is not the same as the video's resolution, the media player will scale the video for you: Example of upscaling: 480p video on 1080p monitor Example of downscaling: 4K video on 1080p monitor Some media players such as mpv [2] allow you to configure the scaling algorithms. Some algorithms will sharpen the video but require a powerful GPU. Suppose your monitor does accept an input signal higher than its native resolution, then the scaling will be done by the monitor, which is not ideal since you cannot control how the monitor downscales the input signal. In addition, suppose you have forced 4K but your monitor's native resolution is 1080p, then when you play a 1080p video, it will first be upscaled to 4K by software, then downscaled back to 1080p by your monitor. This will result in quality loss, and it wastes GPU computational power.

That's not what I mean,I want two things: 1. Playing games at a higher resolution than normal,so I can have the best aa possible. 2.Try to watch a 2160p video to see if that makes any difference. And also,wouldn't anything look crispier at all? Cause fonts aren't the only thing you see in guis. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
