How effective is Render Scale?
I keep turning it up and down thinking it makes it look better but all i really notice is fps drop and maybe a little better quality every 20%..i play 1440p 144hz and on max settings i get about 107-111fps when i turn the render scale up to 120 i get on and around the 70fps range. When I goto 150 it drops to about 50fps and then at 200% it drops to 25-33fps.

I use 1.2 on the render scale

specs:
Ryzen 5 5600x
RTSX 3070
16gb 3600mhz ram
nvme m.2
1440p 165hz display w/Gsync

unless you got a good GPU and decent panel... don't go above 1.0

not sure what you mean by effective.

it increases the internal resolution of the game.

So you don't even understand what rander scale is doing. It will multiply your set ressolution to a factor. Like 120 means 1,2*1440p = 1.728i in your case. 200 means 2*1440p = 2.880i and so on. The game is rendered to that ressolution and downscaled to your set ressolution like 1440p. Makeing it more sharp at >100.

Thereforce your gpu has to render a ressolution of 2.880i at 200 render scale. Eating your frames like you figured out.

You up the internal resolution of the game and your framerate drops? Shocking. This is what happens when a console kid gets a PC, but then doesn't understand the basics.

Weren't you the one making fun of "console peasants" in other topics? Looks like you failed to mention that you match the description too.

You are right. I only know how you present yourself to others and you have been behaving like an absolute toddler in almost every thread I've seen you post in.

The game cant look better than 100% at 1440p, because your monitor literally cant display a higher resolution. "render scale" just means that your 1440p image is sampled higher, but the output remains 1440p because you are limited by the monitor itself. At best some textures might appear a bit more defined, but you are better off going into your GPU settings and turning up sharpening or using extra overhead for something like a reshade profile if you wanna push the graphics and get a bit more definition at the cost of performance.
