Shadow Warrior Downsampling Tutorial (Optimizing Textures & Picture Quality) for Shadow Warrior

Shadow Warrior Downsampling Tutorial (Optimizing Textures & Picture Quality)

Overview

This Guide shows you how to Downsample Shadow Warrior (play @2880×1620 resolution).

Introduction

If you did the SLI Fix & you got some fps left (e.g. you got 90 fps and more), THIS GUIDE is for you!
Nevertheless, this Guide is also for people without an SLI System but who have a decent GPU.
So if you have some fps left & want to improve picture quality?! Try Downsampling!

Tutorial

First of all it is pretty easy!
It took me about 2mins to set up 2880×1620 and another 5mins for 3840×2160.

Everything is set & configured in the Nvidia Control Panel (as shown below)

1. Go to Display ->Adjust desktop size & position ||| 1.1 Go to Display -> Change Resolution
1. Set everything as shown above and click Apply.
1.1 Select your native resolution and click Customize.
=> There you tick Enable resolutions not exposed by the display & press Create Custom Resolution.
2. Create your custom resolution:
It is important that you set the timings “Manual” as shown above.
(The Pixel Clock should not go above 165MHZ!)
2.1 click TEST
If you set everything correct, your Desktop will be shown in the resolution you chose!
(It is important: that you click Yes if you see your Desktop in the desired resolution.
=> This is for adding the resolution and not for setting it up for your desktop.)
3. Set your custom resolution ingame
& enjoy Shadow Warrior @2880×1620 / @3840×2160

Note:
Some monitors do not go beneath 56Hz, even if they are able to! That is driver related & can be fixed!
My 24″ Samsung needed the EDID Monitor Hz FIX[www.oc-burner.de] for 3840×2160 @54Hz, to work properly!

Attention

Unfortunately after installing a new Nvidia Driver, you have to set your custom resolution again! (At least on some Systems…) Even with the “Express Installation”.

Important Note: This Guide works for all Games! (which support high resolutions)
