Resolution Upscale: Performance

A neat trick with resolution scaling I learned on Skyrim. As discussed before on my blog if you play at lower resolutions you get smoother playback. It’s less pixels your computer has to render which means more stability in overall gameplay. The downside to that is quality, specifically pixel quality. 

This is the lowered resolution I selected, remember to do this in fullscreen mode instead of windowed. Windowed mode is best to play at your screen’s resolution (for most of you that will be 1080 x 1920) while fullscreen mode is better suited to render better picture quality at lower resolutions.

Using the power of Reshade we are going to adjust the sharpness to upscale the resolution “back up” to 1080 x 1920. The AMD sharpness is especially helpful here. In the end you should get something that looks like this

Beautiful! Now you get the smoothness, performance, hyper fast pixel rendering with none of the quality loss.

Happy simming!
