1440p monitor, what resolution to set?
Hi everyone, I am trying to use this program but with poor results. I have a 1440p monitor, what resolution and what settings should I set to have an ultra quality FSR?
i am testing on cyberpunk 2077

The more you upscale the lower the quality. Sharpness will help correct that... You may want to turn down/off sharpness in catalyst in that game profile to avoid over-sharpening. If you have sharpening in game, and/or in Catalyst, you may need to turn this way down. I just turned off Radeon Image Sharpening and let Lossless Scaling do the sharpening (Sharpness "1" value. Turn it up to max 2.0 or for less sharpening down to .5 or .1 or 0. I have it set to 1.

I'm running 2560×1440 (2K) which is a 16:9 resolution upscaled from 1920×1080 (1K) and it looks beautiful. My settings are:
* Scale Factor "AUTO"
* Scale Type "FSR"
* Sharpness "1"
* Capture API "Auto"

If you look at the readme they tell how to put your settings for Lossless Scaling into your shortcut for your game so it starts both at same time. Then I have ALT + F9 to scale up my game running in 1920×1080 window mode (not full screen window).

Another tip, make sure you limit refresh in your game to what your monitor will handle, probably 60 FPS if you are using a 60mhz monitor. I did that in my catalyst game profile, turned vsync to "always on".

Last tip, install "Proces Lasso" free version, start up Lossless Scaler and your game, and set your process priorities for both by right clicking each and:
* CPU Priority > Always > Above Normal
* Induce Performance Mode
* Exclude from ProBalance

Sharpness is Maximum for 0 and Minimum for 2...
It's better to check this guide..

Thank you very much, the only problem is that even putting the vsync from both the game and the AMD control panel there is a crazy thearing and the fluidity of the game is bad even if the fps are high. I have a rx 6900 XT and a 1440p 144hz monitor

I'd think that card could do 1440p fine without FSR, even in Cyberpunk.

Sure, but I like to test :)

How about adding in 'common settings' for Monitor resolution and FSR scaling levels so people don't have to mess with the resolutions themselves to get it to work?

This means Lossless scaling can force the game resolution to be 30% smaller, to apply a 1.3x FSR scaling, automatically?

As it does with “Force resize” option?
