Hello

NOTE - Massively cut down version of earlier post which was way too long.

BTW - if you disagree with using DSR etc - that’s fine - but I am looking for actual advice - not just anti-DSR posts ok.

TL:DR - How do I get higher than 60hz when using G-sync/Vsync with Special K (used to play at 4K on a 1440p Monitor) ?

Skip straight to the Settings Screenshots Gallery to see how I’ve tried to do this so far.

Playing Death Stranding - Director’s Cut (Steam/PC)

I have done my best to try to figure this out by searching online - but still need help.

While I’d like the highest fps I can get - I would much rather keep the fps a little lower in order to keep higher quality visuals with no tearing etc.

Apart from the above - I’d also like to know if I should be trying some other In-Game Post Processing settings to do the above - but use some of those other settings instead of DLSS and/or instead of Special K ?

So here are the settings etc/steps as I’ve been doing - as Screenshots.

See the Settings Screenshots Gallery here https://www.imagebam.com/view/GA8984

I’m very new to anything like Special K - so I have no doubt there are cools things I don’t even know I could be trying? If you can think of anything I’m doing wrong, could change, or any thing that you might suggest might be worth also trying - go ahead!

For reference - here are my System Specs:

MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD 1440p 165hz (G-Sync)

Gigabyte 3070 Ti OC Gaming 8GB

Nvidia Driver - LATEST - Game Ready Driver 536.23

Intel 12700K (Not Overclocked)

Corsair Vengeance LPX - 32GB DDR4 3600 (4x8GB) CMK16GX4M2Z3600C18

Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro DDR4 (F6 BIOS)

Windows 11 Pro - (Up to Date - 22H2)

Please provide as much detail as you can, screenshots, links, videos whatever would be great if possible.

  1. Don’t play games in FSE – we generally only recommend using borderless fullscreen.

  2. Ensure you can engage 4K DSR for the Windows desktop at a higher refresh rate than 60 Hz. If you cannot, troubleshoot the issue using the Nvidia Control Panel.

  3. Once you can engage it for the Windows desktop, configure it in a game using SK’s Display menu of the control panel, and check the “temporary resolution” or whatever it’s called (tells SK to auto-engage and disengage the resolution on launch/shutdown of the game).

And that should hopefully do it.

IT IS BEEN LONG TIME
BTW, increasing refresh rate thats need decrease quality unless you have card 24 v for card not ram
and your graphic card only 8 g thats make neckle bottle and makes you playing under 2k
when you buy grahic card make sure have vram more than 8g to be smoothly for you
moreover, when you go nvidia control panel - max fram change it to your high frame ,otherwise your windows refere back to 60 fps and lower resolution.
also the cable you use , can change your game frames or quality ,so becarfull when you buy cable .
thats all my troubleshooting for my brother pc and found out all these affect on your game
