I don't recommend adjusting the DVI timings unless you have to. For some reason a lot of people who read these downscaling guides get the idea that they are actually pushing 3840 x 2160 through DVI to the monitor.

Still it's clear that these guys have no idea what they're doing based on their misuse of terminology and have figured out this stuff accidentally.įor the record what you're doing is rendering a 3840 x 2160 image in game then letting the drivers downscale that to 1920 x 1080 before outputting it to the display. Why the fuck inserting blank pixels into the output signal fixes this I have no idea. Nvidia's downscaler apparently isn't very stable when the difference in input/output horizontal pixels is too high. You will have to play a bit with the refresh rate and the total pixel values to get your desired result.įor example, on my display, the LG Flatron IPS235P (1920x1080) I had to increase the horizontal total pixels from originally 2200 to 2800 and lower the vertical total pixels from 1125 to 1090 for to work and to stay below 165MHz. This will in turn increase the pixel clock which as mentioned above should not go beyond 165MHz on most configurations. But when you get the message "test failed", you probably will need to increase the value for the total horizontal pixels.

I was thinking it might be this article: īut after getting neobrain to translate pieces of it that I thought google translate might have gotten wrong (thanks for that by the way) I have found no explanation anywhere as to why they are doing it here either. The original English article that the rest of the sites copied off of says they got this information from a German website but fails to mention which one.

It shouldn't have any effect on image quality in theory and I haven't seen anyone claim that is does in any of the dozen+ copycat guides. After somebody emailed me asking my advice about this method I've spent the past few days trying to figure out why they're doing that step. You're following that guide from neogaf aren't you.

The classic Control Panel does not appear to be leaving anytime soon, but these tweaks are part of Microsoft’s long process of slowly phasing out the Control Panel.Why on earth are you using manual timings? And why are you raising the horizontal back porch interval? This will allow you to manage your storage more easily and you can group three or more drives together into a storage pool directly from the Settings. Other improvementsĪccording to references spotted in the preview builds, Microsoft is also planning to move Storages Spaces, a technology in Windows that can help protect your data from drive failures, to the Settings app from the Control Panel. The modern interface is currently in beta and Microsoft says the older Disk Management interface isn’t going anywhere. This modern alternative currently lets you create and format volumes, view information and assign drive letters. Rather than opening the classic Disk Management utility from Control Panel, you can now open Settings > System > Storage and manage your disks and volumes. In addition, there’s also a ‘Copy’ button to copy all the system configuration to your clipboard. For example, you’ll still find the same system information and buttons for opening advanced settings or Device Manager directly from the Settings. This isn’t a big deal because all the information currently found in Control Panel > System is available in the Settings > System > About page. Starting with Windows 10 version 20H2, Microsoft is retiring the System applet of the Control Panel and you’ll be redirected to the About system applet in the modern Settings. System applet of Control Panel is being retired Microsoft is also adding traditional Control Panel features to the Sound panel in the Settings application.įor example, there’s now a link in the volume mixer that opens the modern Settings, and you can now also change the default sound device from the Settings. To edit your DNS and configure DNS over HTTPS (DoH) settings, you can now easily head to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi and click “Properties”.Īfter opening Properties, click the “Edit” button under DNS Settings and use one of the popular DoH-enabled DNS servers, such as Cloudflare and Google. Previously, configuring a custom DNS server required visiting the network tab in the Control Panel. In the next update, the Settings app will allow you to configure DNS servers.
