Upscale from 1080p?

[Michael Scoon, FBI]

Here's my situation - my system first:

RTX 2070
I9 9900K
32GB DDR4
1440p Monitor

As you can see, I run native 1440p - I'm wondering if there's any benefit to scaling down to 1920x1080 and using the upscale feature to boost performance. If so, how would I do this based on the % system provided in the Graphic settings? If not, disregard.

I'll be posting this in Tech Support as well in case that's a more appropriate forum

what kind of performance do you get ? both your CPU and GPU are suited for 1440p and with upscaling from a lower resolution you would shift (a little) of the load from the CPU to the GPU as i understand it. This could be beneficial since Squad is generally more heavy on the CPU.

Generally its not recommended, but in Squad it could probably give you a (slight) boost i suppose, just try it out, its not that something could break in the process. Just make sure you have comparable test results, ideally full server, same map, comparable activity etc.

Michael Scoon,

To get better performance:
1. set game resolution to 720p
2. set BORDERLESS, this is a must for DLSS upscale to work, fullscreen doesn't work. Only borderless and exclusive fullscreen works with DLSS upscaling to native resolution of your screen, not standard fullscreen
3. enable DLSS balance
4. all other graphics settings to high or medium depends on the power of your PC
5. Shadows MUST be Medium, this takes the biggest performance hit

The first 3 settings MUST set exactly as mentioned above, else DLSS doesn't work at upscaling to your native resolution of your screen when running at lower resolution. If you have 4k screen and play at 720p, everything will be blurry without DLSS. Your game will look sharp and clear like native resolution even though you are running at 720p. Thanks to the power of DLSS upscaling, it's the evolution in gaming.
