Nvidia DSR on older GPUs with 344.24 Drivers

Haven't seen this posted anywhere here - On Guru3D (credit where credit is due) they have discovered a way to enable Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) on older Nvidia GPUs, not just the 900 series.

"Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) produces smoother images by rendering a game at a higher resolution then downscaling it to the native resolution of the display using advanced filtering. DSR can be applied to any game and can be used with other antialiasing settings to improve image quality."

I noticed the DSR option wasn't present in the Global Settings menu of the Nvidia Control Panel with the 344.11 drivers for my 708ti's.

The workaround (until Nvidia enable it properly), is to install the 344.24 drivers which are meant for laptop GPUs. However it won't install right away on desktop PCs, you have to add an altered *.inf file to the extracted driver folder then run the setup.

Now I have both DSR options, DSR - Factors and DSR - Smoothness :).
 
Nice find!

I will wait for nvidia to release the DSR stuff, but with my gtx 770 and its 2 gb ram i dont expect a whole lot.
 
It is worth doing this if you have a 7xx card, DSR is really good. I was using a program called GeDoSaTo to downsample before I got my 970 and it is a pain in the ass because it doesn't work with all games, you have to set it up a profile for each game, mess around with different settings and deal with any issues caused by it.

With DSR you just tick the resolutions you want in the Nvidia control panel and it just works.
