Nvidia DSR and Skyrim SE - dummies guide!

Recommended Posts

I wonder if some graphics whiz could please give an aged gamer some "dummies guide" support to using DSR with Skyrim SE?

 

My kit:

Acer 21:9 1080x2560 Predator Screen Gsync compatible. 6GB Vram.

Nvidia GTX980Ti

Buckets of RAM and a good Win 10 PC behind it all.

Skyrim on SSD away from program files, etc.

Load o' mods.

 

I would love to experiment with DSR out of interest. OK, it might be a waste of time, but I'd like to know how it can be made to work.

 

I tried using the awful G-Force Experience utility, but that wants to optimise all my game: no thank you.

The NVidia Control Panel only has DSR options for Global Settings tab, they do not show up in me Skyrim SE tab. The Global Settings have percentages but nothing seems to happen if I apply them.

I have NVidia Profile software, too.

 

I tried tinkering these but just got stuck, suffered central brain stem meltdown, and gave up.

 

In hope and thank you!

Didn't tried it with Skyrim SE, but with other games it works this way - you set DSR Factors in nVidia control panel (on the Global Settins tab), and then you will be able select higher resolution in your game options.

Thanks! Sadly the Skyrim Launcher (old and new) refuses to accept 21:9 and upward variations as a valid screen resolution so I have to edit SkyrimPrefs by hand. I tried putting in the new figures for 2x native, but simply got a giant section of screen despite fullscreen being switched on! That's when the brain cells started to melt...

So I fiddled with the border / full window settings and got a weird screen that smeared downwards, presumably due to refresh.
