GTX 1070 BF1 200% resolution scaling

[Push]

When I set all graphics to maximum in BF1 and resolution scaling to 200% it halfs my fps. Why ? Is higher resolution scale really that much better ?

I only get 40 to 50 fps in BF1 at 1920x1200 with resolution scaling at 200%

Well yea, it's up-scaling the res of the textures by 200%
Of course it's more demanding.
Put that on 100-150% then if it's dropping below 60 FPS

Thanks does any other game let you do this with resolution scaling? Also what resolution is like I am playing at with 200% ?

You can always play at basically whatever res you want in any game anyways.
That's what NVIDIA DSR is for.

Just play at your native res if that's where you get best performance.

200% Res scaling is basically supersampling, which is very demanding, it's making the GPU create double the pixels, so 1920x1200 = 2,304,000 pixels X 2 for 200% means its trying to draw 4,608,000 pixels.
For reference 1080p is 2,073,600, 1440p is 3,686,400 and 4k is a huge 8,294,400 pixels, so your about 25% higher than 1440p

That's not how math works.
200% supersampling means that instead of
1920x1080 = 2.073.600 pixels
you get:
3840x2160 = 8.294.400 pixels
Which is four times as much. Which also causes more than four times of workload on the videocard.

No, it's 2X

1080p to 2160p would be 4X (400%)

[Cathulhu]

Double the resolution, four time the pixels.
2x2 = 4
4x4 = 16

[DefinitelyNotMonk]

Nope, it's double the pixels. 4k s 4x so would be 400%, it's not doubling the vertical and horizontal pixel count it is simply drawing each twice.

Scary math lesson that you're trying to teach ppl, don't quit your day job.
