If you want a boost in performance, and your GPU or games don’t yet support NVIDIA DLSS, check out NVIDIA Image Scaling, a spatial upscaler that’s built into the Game Ready Driver. It boosts performance by rendering your game at a lower resolution, and then upscales and sharpens to match your monitor’s native resolution. You can enable this feature manually in the Control Panel and then set the in-game resolution to match, or simply enable it automatically through GeForce Experience.
NVIDIA Control Panel
- To activate NVIDIA Image Scaling in the NVIDIA Control Panel, open the NVIDIA Control Panel, click onto “Manage 3D Settings”, and activate “Image Scaling”
- Launch your game, and under resolution, set it lower than that of your display monitor. Also set your game to full-screen mode
- You can also enable the overlay indicator, and a “NIS” text label will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. A green text color indicates that NVIDIA Image Scaling is scaling and sharpening the game. If the text is colored blue, then NVIDIA Image Scaling is sharpening but not scaling
*For games that don’t offer Full Screen mode or Image Scaling is not getting engaged, you can set the resolution of your desktop equal to in-game resolution, which will enable NVIDIA Image Scaling. It is recommended to use the NVIDIA Control Panel to set or switch between scaling resolutions on the desktop.
GeForce Experience
- To activate NVIDIA Image Scaling in GeForce Experience, go to Settings (Cog wheel), scroll down under General, and select “Image Scaling”
