GameRager: 5k resolutions? I call bullshit mang......I mean maybe it'd work but wouldn't the image be shit in some way(tiny/etc) as a result?
Also what frequency was that 5k mythical res running at?
pops117: The process is called downsampling. I let the LCD scale the high res image but aspect ratio scaling works aswell to get a clean, almost jaggies-free image. It's similar to Full Image Super Sampling.
First you'd need to modify the EDID informations of your LCD to open up the supported limits. Then you proceed with adding custom resolutions: make sure the native res is correct then in the timings sections you set the default to "Manual"(although for higher resolutions you'll have to experiment with the different settings). Now you set your desired resolutions, again you'll have to tinker around with the various settings (total pixels value and refresh rate are the important ones, active pixels should always be set to the native res).
The process is pictured
here and the thread on how to do this can be found
here (in German! there are some short videos describing the process but the most helpful hints are given in the replies unfortunately).
I'm not on the comp I tried this on right now but I think the refresh rate was around 25-30Hz, operating the desktop gets a bit tiresome in that res but games look pretty awesome! You have the Aliasing almost gone without even having AA set, a good GFX card is recommended since rendering at those high res puts much strain on it.
Will this slow down the frame rate(fps) in games much when doing this? Just curious. I have a 5770 and maybe would like to tinker with this and maybe deus ex to see what can be done to that game with this method.
