@wateraa33 I suspect for RSR (Radeon Super Resolution) to work in VAM it would have to run in
exclusive fullscreen mode in a lower than native screen resolution. Since what it does is basically replace the upscaling algorithm after a full frame render (including HUD, post and everything) to match your native screen resolution. Currently I do not see a way to run VAM in this mode - it's either windowed mode order borderless window - a sort of fake fullscreen.
Maybe you have seen the Gamer Nexus video too. There he mentions this (timestamped):
From AMD official
FAQ:
Q: Will RSR work with games running borderless full screen?
A: The current version of RSR supports exclusive full screen modes, meaning it will work as long as the game has an in-game menu option that allows you to lower the game resolution. For games running on borderless full screen mode, the user will need to go to the Windows Settings and set the Windows resolution lower than their monitor’s native resolution, which will allow RSR to work.
Officially I don't see a way to lower the resolution from
inside VAM for desktop mode. But starting VAM - in for example 1080p on a 1440p monitor - using
VaM (Config).bat in borderless fullscreen should work. Or you could try my Plugin
SallyUIscale4K that allows changing the resolution at runtime. Even though that's not it's purpose, you can use it only for that without a 4K monitor.
Another thing that I suspect is, but
highly doubt: RSR could be limited to some 3D API version like DirectX 10 or newer maybe that would limit it's use to newer games only. Can't find any info about that - just speculation. Technically "RSR is implemented on a driver level" should mean it's not bound to any 3D API and therefore independent. The fact that Steve in the video mentions it works only in these specific scenarios, because otherwise it would scale the entire desktop hints that the last one is the case.
Edit: Another idea - maybe there is a command line parameter to start VAM in exclusive fullscreen mode. I doubt the one listed here is for exclusive mode tho.
