NVIDIA DSR not downsampling back to monitor resolution

[CakeOrDeath]

Anyone else having this problem?

I'm trying to run this game at 3840 x 2160 (4k) using Nvidia DSR. It works flawlessly in every other game I've tried, however with Rage I'm having problems.

I'm able to select the resolution from the dropdown box in the options menu, however once I apply the resolution the game doesn't downsample back to 1080p (my monitor resolution). Instead it keeps the game at 4k and all I can see is 1/4 of the overall image on my monitor.

I've tried finagling with the rageConfig settings but so far no luck :(

I'm running the game at 2k and it's downsampling to 1080p perfectly.

Without DSR, it runs fullscreen at native 1080p just fine. Windowed mode is a little wierd, and only lets me play at like 1001p unless I force it with windowedborderless. Can't get DSR to work on either -__-
Never had a problem like this with DSR before /:

Are you running windowed or full?

My bad I got confused with HDR and DSR.

I'm playing at full screen, what's your graphic card?

Ah haha. GTX1080

Just set up DSR for 4k, i'm gonna test how it works and reply back.

Hey thanks for helping :)

I wonder if it can be fixed in my rageConfig.cfg

It's working fine for me http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=938568068

About rageconfig file, I used it before and it worked for 2k, now I'm using id5Tweaker because it allows to remove the framerate limit.

I would check your drivers and Nvidia DSR options.

[CakeOrDeath]

Yeah, I'll check those out. Thanks!

Could you possibly copy paste the end of your rage config running in DSR here? that would be very appreciated >_<
If not, no worries

com_maxfps didn't worked for me


There you go, let me know if you fix the issue :D

[CakeOrDeath]

Damn! You did some tweaking there ;D

I'll try it out and let ya know. Thank you!

[CakeOrDeath]

Ended up fixing it by creating my own cfg named autoexec.cfg and telling it to execute in default.cfg

Weird workaround but atleast it works!

I'm really hoping CakeOrDeath is still subscribed to this discussion - I'm having the same problem whereby when I DSR Rage, I only see a fraction of the screen. Even if I set my desktop to 4k first, it still does the same!

How exactly did you fix this?

[CakeOrDeath]

OKAY so I think this is what I did, however you may need to edit some values based on your monitor's resolution.

In your "Steam\steamapps\common\RAGE\base" folder, create a text document (call it whatever you want but I called mine autoexec.txt). Then turn it into a .cfg by deleting the .txt and replacing it with .cfg

Inside there, paste these commands:
r_windowHeight "1080"
r_windowWidth "1920"
r_fullscreen "1"
r_mode "24"

THEN inside the same folder path (\base) open up the file "default.cfg" and add these commands to begining. I put them right before the segment that says "first person bindings":

exec autoexec.cfg
r_mode "24"

If you named your cfg document something other then autoexec, you need to reflect that in the above commands.

FINALLY

In the startup options of RAGE, include this startup command: +set com_allowConsole 1

That will hopefully do the trick for you! However you may need to edit those settings/commands. Those settings are what should work if you're trying to run the game at 4k on a 1080p screen.

Hopefully you get it working!
