Is there any way to upscale HZD from 1080p to 4K?

[Hyperion]

I have tried to use the in-built Nvidia settings with no results. Any way to force render resolution upscaling?

...set your game resolution to 1920x1080 and set the game to full screen instead of borderless like with literally any other game that doesn't have a render% slider?

Tried that as well. Not working. And I use an amd card.
Generally some games don't work, only a few.

[Seamus]

If setting the game's render resolution to a lower setting doesn't result in an upscaled image, there's something wrong with your setup.

This is just basic "How games function" stuff, not "Some games don't work."

[Blaagh]

then you have either set scaling in drivers to 'center' instead of 'full' or in the menu of your monitor (you DO have a 4k monitor/tv ??)

I have a 1080p panel, but in games like Assassin’s Creed, you can upscale it to 200% which is 4K at the expense of fps, but with a much cleaner image.

That sounds more like Supersampling/Downsampling. You render the image in 4K and view it on a 1080p panel. Upscaling would be rendering the image in 1080p and view it on a 4K panel.
In the nvidia control panel you can enable DSR and choose 4x. After that you should be able to set the resolution to 3840x2160 in the games display/graphic options.

Yeah so that's on me, I did actually mean Supersampling, but I think I've tried enabling it in the Nvidia Control Panel and there was no DSR option in the settings.

[Alex]

There is no specific DSR option in the games settings. If you have it enabled, you just change the resolution from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160.

In the nvidia control panel it's in "Manage 3D settings"

[Seamus]

Ah. Yeah, HZD doesn't have a render resolution slider that goes above 1:1/100%.

Not sure if enabling DSR in nvidia control panel would actually work, I don't recall if the game actually has the proper dedicated fullscreen mode that is required for it to work, but:

Right click on desktop > Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > Find DSR - Factors in the list > Check a bunch of the boxes in the list to enable higher resolution scales

Then in-game you'd turn the actual game resolution up past 1080.

If it doesn't work with the game set to full screen, you're out of luck. Barring the annoyance of creating custom windows resolutions, which some monitors don't like.

For me DSR works even in windowed mode. I have GTX 1080 Ti and a 1080p Freesync 144Hz monitor and thus can only play in 1440p with an acceptable framerate, but its DSR factor for me is not an integer, so I get pixelated picture in fullscreen (only 4x produces a clear image for me, that's 4K). When I switch to windowed, it's like the game has its own internal scaling (or maybe it's a DX12 thing), the result looks definitely like a downscaled image, so I've completely disabled AA.
I get around 55-58 fps with all set to ultra except AA. CPU is 6700k with stock clocks, 32 Gb RAM (2666 Mhz). I initially planned to upgrade to RTX 2080 Ti this winter so I can play with constant 60 fps and stopped my current walkthrough, but seeing the prices spiked like mad, I dropped that idea until better times. Sigh, time to get back to the game I guess.

P.S For those wondering 'why do you play at 60 fps, you have a 144Hz monitor, buy a 3090 to play at 144 fps'. My monitor is set to 144Hz, I just limit my fps to 60, the actual Freesync refresh I get is 2x my fps (~115-120Hz), it feels completely different from standard 60Hz monitors, the camera and mouse pointer controls are very fluid.

Yeah so DSR doesn’t work on laptops (Optimus architecture), so any alternative?

I can’t access DSR since my laptop won’t support it. Any alternatives?

All you can do is try to create a custom windows resolution in the intel gpu settings since that's what manages everything.

it is full screen...

I already replied with your only option as you're on a laptop:
