RSR was working fine until I upgraded my NVIDIA driver (I have no clue what driver version I upgraded from, but my driver current version is Game Ready 555.99). No idea why NVIDIA driver have to do with this, no idea if even the NVIDIA driver was the cause of this at all, but here we are. I have a Ryzen 7 6800HS with a RTX 3050 laptop (ideapad 5 pro). Want to use RSR because DLSS and NIS seems too intensive on my poor 3050 (DLSS sometimes even give me less FPS than native since (I think) all the GPU resources is being used on the upscaling task alone), so I tried to give that task to my iGPU by using RSR. My monitor is 2560x1600 and I'm trying to upscale from 1920x1200
My current driver version is 24.5.1. Have confirmed RSR is not working by taking 2 screenshots with the RSR option on and off and used NVIDIA ICAT to compare them and noticed zero difference. Also when RSR was still working for me, if I Alt+Tab quickly between the game and the Adrenaline software, I could see the green checkmark for the upscale status, but now there is absolutely zero checkmark at all. I am using Windows 11
I have tried:
Trying both the normal and borderless fullscreen mode of RSR, and running both the game in exclusive and borderless fullscreen mode
DDU'ing both NVIDIA and AMD driver, and give them a fresh install (24.5.1 for AMD, 555.99 for NVIDIA) but after that RSR would still not work.
DDU'ing the 24.5.1 driver and install the 23.11.1 driver, would still not work
Uninstall Wallpaper Engine because I read from a comment that WE apparently interfere with RSR, did it anyways even though RSR was working before even with WE on
Running Adrenaline in Administrator mode
Repair and Factory Reset 23.11.1 driver
Enabling RSR globally, tried it, does not work, disabled RSR globally and enabled RSR specifically for the game, still does not work, enabling both RSR globally and for the game, still does not work
Wipe game settings in Adrenaline, remove, readded and reconfigured them in the Adrenaline's Games tab
Disabling NVIDIA overlay
On a side note, in-game overlay + toast notifications does not seem to work for me both on 23.11.1 and 24.5.1, and the sidebar would not work in game regardless of it being in borderless fullscreen or exclusive fullscreen. When I press Alt + Z in game to pull up the sidebar, my cursor just gets locked in the middle of the screen and I cannot move it whatsoever
I have Lossless Scaling but I found the performance to not be as good as RSR with exclusive fullscreen
and if it has any relevancy to the discussion I am not thermal throttling, I have undervolted my 3050 but kept my CPU at stock. RTSS works with RSR fine before.
