What does resolution scaling changes ?

[CaptainFistard]

Best i can get for a full 60fps experience is 1.4... What is resolution scaling and how does it affects graphical experience please explain

[CaptainFistard]

i have a 1920x1080 monitor btw, gtx1070 (8go), I5-6600K and 16gB of ram

Supersampling, it renders the game on a higher resolution, then downscale to yours.

1.4 scaling means the game is rendered at 1080p x 1,4 then scaled down to 1080 (to fit your screen of course).

and is this good ?

By default, geforce scales it at 1.5 but i have like 10 less fps near the trailer, and near some passages in cave and final boss so...

its pointless to go higher than 1.0 other than to brag out that your rig can handle 60fps on 4k when you dont have a 4k monitor.

if you feel like the game game looks fuzzy even above 1.0, it means you have rendering method in "interlaced" instead of "normal".

Normal is sharper, Interlaced is fuzzy because it only renders every second line of pixels, doubling framerate and performance (The interface remains sharp and unafected).

Both Rendering Method and Resolution Scaling do not affect the "HUD / User Interface"

Oh thx cap, i got the rendering method on normal since the beginning, i already spotted the unsharpness ^^

Pretty much this.

Well, going above 1.0 is basically SSAA which is the best form of AA so if you can handle it, then probably you should go for it.

i can handle 1.4... 1.0 is pretty bad tho, even for my monitor

Downsampling is the best AA method there is, people like me uses it for plenty of years now, to make older games look crisp and sharp as never before.

That downsampling can't replace real pixel count, is a no brainer, but rendering 4 times the information down will give you a sharp image that most AA methods developers provide can't give you without also affecting image quality like blurring.

I play on a 970 and also can't go above 1.2 without getting down to 50 fps in some locations (without reducing other settings, of course), but I see no reason not to take the extre edge smoothing with me, when I have spare performance.
