NVIDIA makes games a different resolution (3413x1920) than my native one? In the "System" tab also | NVIDIA | Page 1

In "graphics" now after checking multiple games, it makes my resolution 3413 x 1920 and it says "recommended" which I don't get. My main monitor is 2560x1440. In the "System" tab under "Scaling" there were also different resolutions than the native ones. On my 1440p monitor in "System" under "Scaling" it had 3413x1920 and the second monitor (which is 1080p) it was 2560x1440. I changed the resolutions from "Scaling" in the "System" tab to their native ones now but the games remain 3413x1920. My "Global Settings" DSR Factors are DL Scaling: 1.78 (2560x1440). I don't know if that helps you, I thought maybe it has something to do with it but I thought I'd mention it. DSR max resolution is not even 3413x1920. It's 2880x1620 and it's 2.25.

Some monitors with a native resolution lower than 4K may support 4K input resolution anyway. This 4K input resolution is for the benefit of consoles that used to not directly support 1440p output, as well as enabling a basic form of super-sample AA (similar to DSR).

The existence of this fake 4K resolution will mess with DSR/DLDSR's assumptions about the monitor's native resolution and the scaling factors will be based on that higher resolution instead of the true resolution, leading to both image quality and performance issues.

Use the Custom Resolution Utility to remove the fake 4K resolutions. You'll need to find it in both the standard timings table and within any data blocks, including those inside the "TV resolutions" extended data block, which isn't shown immediately, and restart the PC, to make the fake resolution invisible to the PC, and restore the correct DSR scaling factors.

@paper kestrel this is a different issue

#

the monitor is reporting the correct native res

pliant prairie In "graphics" now after checking multiple games, it makes my resolution 3413 x 1...

ever used NVIDIA App/GeForce Experience and have auto-optimize turned on? If so, this is normal if you have some games that are old/lightweight enough that automatic enablement of DLDSR is a thing

#

many games are not as "smart" as Windows and will list the highest detected resolution as "recommended" on the assumption that the highest is native

#

As you have two different monitors, please also show the resolution list of both monitors outside of a game (try the NVIDIA Control Panel)

#

DSR max resolution is not even 3413x1920. It's 2880x1620 and it's 2.25.

Scroll down and you'll see the legacy options which will go up to 4x

#

DL (DLDSR) stops at 2.25x

last sun ever used NVIDIA App/GeForce Experience and have auto-optimize turned on? If so,...

Ooohhh... I did NOT want auto-optimize at first but then I tried it. Guess I am turning THAT off! So does the DSR factor from Graphics - Global Settings OR Resolution from System - Scaling have anything to do with it?

#

Or it's just the auto-optimize?

here's the thing about optimisation on the Nvidia app

deep crescentBOT Mar 25, 2025, 2:53 AM

#

Please note that the NVIDIA game profile optimization/optimize game settings may be wildly inaccurate and should not be used blindly, with the optimization profile should only be used as the minimal baseline for your graphics settings.

It is common for the optimization settings to not show up, or be not able to be applied directly, in the following situations:

game is extremely new (wait a few days before checking again)
laptop hardware, especially involving low end RTX GPUs
CPU and/or GPU is below the game's minimum specifications
game is from Xbox Game Pass

You can revert the changes done by the NVIDIA app by pressing the “REVERT” button on each game in the Graphics Section. If you want to fine tune the graphical settings to reach the desired frame rate and image quality, you will need to look up individual video settings for each game from other sources.

oh...

#

OOHHH! Now it says 2560x1440p is recommended when I pressed revert! Hell yeah!

paper kestrel Mar 25, 2025, 2:54 AM

#

I usually use NVCP for image scaling/DLDSR

pliant prairie Mar 25, 2025, 2:55 AM

What is nvcp?

#

nvidia control panel?

#

pliant prairie nvidia control panel?

yes

last sun Mar 25, 2025, 2:57 AM

#

pliant prairie Or it's just the auto-optimize?

any kind of optimize in a sufficiently lightweight game for the GPU

#

because the NVIDIA App is allowed to enable DLDSR on your behalf if it thinks it has enough spare GPU

#

again, for the most part, this shouldn't affect everything programmed properly

#

the strange "recommended" resolution you see in some games is just games making dumb assumptions

pliant prairie Mar 25, 2025, 2:58 AM

#

Gotcha! Thank you so much for the help! Stay amazing! Have a great one!

#

Actually one more thing! How do I turn off optimization? I can't find it in settings or anywhere else

check the main NVIDIA App (the window) and not inside the overlay

pliant prairie Mar 25, 2025, 3:05 AM

#

I am on the app

#

Not the overlay

last sun Mar 25, 2025, 3:05 AM

#

Click settings on the left side of the column

#

Then, uncheck "Automatically optimize games and apps"

#

If this is already unchecked, it is already off, however any previously optimized games will stay so. If you want to, you can change any relevant settings and it'll stick now.

I am /blind/ bruh... thanks again! 🤦‍♂️ 😓 😅

To close this thread do I just delete the post or?... Maybe someone else finds it and it helps them

Hello! It's me again. So I was checking some options on a game and I saw that Ghost Recon Breakpoint still has the 3413 x 1920 resolution as recommended even after pressing the revert button

#

#

How could I fix this? I click on 2560 x 1440 but it goes back to the recommended one

#

Actually... Now that I check the other games as well... all have it back on 3413x1920

pliant prairie Mar 25, 2025, 11:51 PM

#

I have also uninstalled nvidia app and reinstalled it and it's the same

paper kestrel Mar 25, 2025, 11:52 PM

#

Make sure "Automatically Optimise Games and Apps" are unchecked

pliant prairie Mar 25, 2025, 11:52 PM

#

It is

#

I unchecked it when reinstalling

paper kestrel Mar 25, 2025, 11:52 PM

#

and also press revert in the settings app

pliant prairie Mar 25, 2025, 11:52 PM

#

I did

paper kestrel Mar 25, 2025, 11:52 PM

#

pliant prairie I unchecked it when reinstalling

DOUBLE CHECK AGAIN

pliant prairie Mar 25, 2025, 11:52 PM

#

It doesn't work anymore

#

I just did (edit: I just did again I mean, aka I checked twice now after you told me)

paper kestrel Mar 25, 2025, 11:54 PM

#

Have you go to each game on the list and press "Revert to default"

pliant prairie Mar 25, 2025, 11:54 PM

#

Yep

paper kestrel Mar 25, 2025, 11:54 PM

#

Or "Revert"

pliant prairie Mar 25, 2025, 11:54 PM

#

Yes

paper kestrel Mar 25, 2025, 11:55 PM

#

If you are updating the Nvidia app the settings may be reset

pliant prairie Mar 25, 2025, 11:55 PM

#

It's up to date

#

I updated it before I came back here cause I saw a new version came out

#

Lemme try uninstalling the whole driver real quick...

deep crescentBOT Mar 26, 2025, 12:20 AM

If you have any issues with your graphics card after updating the Nvidia drivers, please perform the following:

Remove the existing Nvidia driver by running Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) here: (AutoDDU can be told to use a custom driver link, or you can use the manual version located here.). For a utility to automate DDU as much as possible follow this guide.
You can download drivers from the official site below. (You will need to specify your GPU and operating system.) On a laptop, both iGPU and dGPU drivers should be installed for full functionality and performance.

NVIDIA
AMD
Intel

Ensure that your WiFi/Ethernet/Internet is turned off or disconnected before installation of the driver (Running the .exe file) to prevent Windows Update from overriding the driver installation.
Disconnect all other monitors (except one main monitor) and all unnecessary USB devices before driver installation to prevent device conflicts or black screens.
During driver installation, please select the Custom option when prompted and ensure that Peform a clean installation is checked/ticked before proceeding with the installation.
Please restart your computer after the driver installation is completed.
