    Screen Resolution?

    Is there anyway I can force the resolution higher than my native res of 1920 x 1080 60hz?
    I'm sure I've read somewhere how it can be done, I can't seem to find the info anywhere.
    Or did I just imagine it?!

    Thanks in advance

    Hi

    Just google for Downsampling or Supersampling. If you have an Nvidia-card, it`s pretty easy. With AMD you will need some workarounds...

    Here's a good thread that got me down sampling:

    http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.co...light=sampling

    As you will see, it's easy to do using the Nvidia Control Panel setting "Custom Resolutions".

    Pros:

    Clod looks even better visually
    Shimmering in the distance is reduced and even eliminated depending on how you go.
    Easier to ID friend or foe as you draw near

    Cons

    Frame rate takes a hit
    harder to spot distant pixel-sized contacts
    higher resolutions may need lower refresh rate ie. your 120 Hz monitor may only be capable of 60 Hz at the higher res.

    A lot depends on your monitor's capability. Start conservatively and work up. Each time you try a higher resolution the NCP software will "test" your monitor. If your monitor "fails" a resolution the screen will momentarily go black (don't panic) then come back on saying "nope".

    Good luck!

    Thanks for the replies Guys,

    I might have a look this weekend, if I lose too much FPS I'll set it back to native.

    Thanks again.
