Hi all,

I just replaced an old RTX 2060 OC with a new AMD 7900 XTX. I use a 4K monitor on Windows 10, and was able to set my previous resolution to 8K through an option checkbox on the old manufacturer's config panel.

How can I keep the 8K downscale I've been used to on AMD? Previous' checkbox to unlock resolution selection was handy (though somewhat hidden), I'm impressed how easy and accessible AMD's VSR option is.

But I can't find how to set my resolution higher than 5760x3240 on Windows 10, and my attempts at creating custom resolutions through AMD Adrenalin were useless.

Thus, question: How can I set a VSR resolution up to 7680x4320? (If the answer is "create a custom rez", please handle me a guide on how to do so?)

Sorry for the up, is there any help available on this topic?

As far as I know RDNA2 & RDNA3 video cards from a certain driver update support a resolution higher than 5120x2880. I have a 5700xt a little studying info, I realized that the problem lies in the video card itself, most likely the problem can be solved only by upgrading. In your situation it is really strange, in theory the maximum resolution should be higher.

To set a VSR resolution up to 5760x3240, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the graphics driver software on your computer. The method of doing this will depend on the specific graphics card you have, but typically you can access the software by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Graphics Properties" or "Graphics Options."

2. Locate the VSR settings in the graphics driver software. Again, the location of these settings may vary depending on your graphics card, but they are typically found in the display or video settings section.

3. Enable VSR by toggling the switch to the "On" position.

4. Choose the desired VSR resolution from the list of available options. In this case, you would select 5760x3240.

5. Apply the changes and exit the graphics driver software.

Once you have set the VSR resolution to 5760x3240, your graphics card will render images and videos at that resolution, and then downscale them to fit your monitor's native resolution. This downsampling process can result in improved image quality, especially on displays with lower resolutions, but it may also require more processing power from your graphics card.

Note that not all  graphics card support VSR resolutions up to 5760x3240, so it's important to check your graphics card's specifications before attempting to use this feature.

My setup is 3x 4K screens + 1x 1K screen, I've found the problem: the graphic card can only handle up to 2x 8K screens.

That means either:

• keeping only 2 screens at 8K VSR (effectively shutting down the two others),
• or having 1 screen at 8K VSR and 2 at (max) 5760x3240 VSR (shutting down the fourth one),
• or having 4 screens at (max) 5760x3240 VSR

My use case was to have virtually 2 time each screen resolution, as in 3x 8K + 1x 4K, which I thought a 2023 graphic card could handle better than a 2019 one. Workaround to my issue: having 1x 8K VSR + 2x 4K screens. As the graphic card removes the 8K VSR option if a fourth screen is active (even without VSR, at 1K + 2x 4K), that's a disappointment.

(Side note: Why I need such screen space is not your concern, how AMD can get it to me is my asking.)

Thus, I'm not satisfied with the current AMD experience.
