[not sure if this is more nvidia or display oriented, but I'm posting here since it's about an NVIDIA tech, apologies if it needs to be moved]
So there's an article over at Tech Report that has some pretty handy comparisons of different AA modes, along with NVIDIA's new DSR method side-by-side:
http://techreport.com/review/27102/maxwell-dynamic-super-resolution-explored
The short version: it's super effective, even at half-steps (like using 2560x on a 1920x display).
Right up until I read that article I'd been thinking to buy a 2560x1440 display alongside a 970, thinking it would "hold me over" for another year or two, when 4k displays with freesync were readily available.
Now, though, I'm thinking I may as well just test the DSR on my current display (a Viewsonic VX2770Smh-LED, which I'm very happy with) and see how it goes. I have a feeling that it will sufficiently smooth out the edges that I don't notice the pixels as much as I do now in some games, making the higher dpi of a 27" 1440p display much less coss-effective than just waiting for 4k+freesync displays.
Still, I have to save up some cash for the 970, so I'd like to live vicariously in the meantime. For those of you have have already picked up a 970/980 and have plugged it in to a 1080p display - whether it be a typical desktop 23/24/27" one, or a big 50" HDTV - have you used DSR? What do you think?
