    This is from the readme file:

    *********
    * VIDEO *
    *********
    Fighters Anthology requires you to have a video card that is 100%
    DirectX compliant. If you have run the DXSETUP.EXE program
    (which can be found in the DirectX directory of your Fighters
    Anthology CD), and your video card is not certified, you need to
    contact your video card manufacturer and obtain the latest DirectX
    drivers for your card or contact Microsoft.

    This game does not support resolutions higher than 1024x768, so you can't use downsampling.
    Antialiasing also not supported, since game uses only 256 colors.

    Guzz,

    Thank you for answering my question regarding Fighters Anthology.

    With my computer system I get maximum frame rates when flying the sim -- about 50 FPS.

    I guess, for this sim, it really does not matter what kind of video card I am using? I'm currently using a ATI Radeon HD 5450.

    Regarding the sound, when there are a lot of sounds going on at the same time, or if you launch a whole bunch of missiles rapid fire, you can hear the engine sound go out for a split second. Is that probably because of the programming, or could a different sound card prevent this?

    Thanks for your help,

    Chris

    Any idea if it is even possible to use DSR or old downsampling on CRT?

    i'm having a strange issue now that i've gotten my 980 installed. It only has 1 DVI port so I have to reserve that for my TV in the other room that goes from DVI>HDMI for ~35ft.

    I had a spare 'ol HDMI>DVI cable that I decided to use instead. It's a 1.3 cable IIRC. So I used that for my main monitor.

    However i'm running into an issue now where anything above 2732x1536 at first only produced a single line at the top that would flicker. I lowered the Hor px clock by 82 and it was well under the 165Mhz limit. But still same result. So I tried using the pixel clock patcher http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-NVIDIA-Pixel-Clock-Patcher
    And after that still same single line, except it goes a little bit longer and doesn't flicker anymore.

    Anyone else's guess is that it's the cable? I haven't tried just using the old DVI cable I was using yet.

    EDIT:
    Wow, OK. It wasn't the cable. This stupid GTX 980 just can't do it?

    Both cables are DVI-D Single link and it can do 2x2 DSR just FINE. But not regular downsampling? (Not to mention same cables could pull off 2x2 downsampling without issue). Card can't even switch custom resolutions properly in Performance Test 8 when the 570 could. Here's the screen it gives me even though 1680x1050 is a custom resolution and works just fine when I set that as my display res. http://i5.minus.com/ik87L5CoI7cD5.png

    Turns out my monitor is capable of some pretty beastly custom resolutions.

    hi all,

    I need help with downsampling on 1440p monitor. My old monitor (1080p) do not have problem with 4K@60Hz but maximum for my new 1440p monitor is 3200x1800@50Hz and nothing higher. Downsampling via DSR do not look good as standard downsampling. :(

    I need settings for 3200x1800@60 Hz and 3840x2160@ 60Hz

    Have you tried simply turning the "Smoothness" value down to say 10% with DSR?

    You could even try less than that. 0% will get you the equivalent of point sampling.

    yes I try but 10% or less has too many sharp edges and 10+ is too blurred and in some games DSR not working. I try it yesterday in Wolfenstein new order and in options I have only one resolution from DSR 5120x2880 and that is unplayable :) Before I played many games with 3200x1800 downsampling resolution but now work this res. only in 50 Hz and that is horrible with many stuttering...

    (edit)

    ok I found settings for 4K 60Hz for 1440p monitor

    How to achieve 4K with SLI on a G-sync monitor..?
    (at least until NVidia deliver us a hotfix...)

    I've read somewhere the "trick" to first disable G-sync,make desired custom res and then re-enable G sync..BUT would this "damage" in any matter the monitor, maybe in time..?

    Also, don't know how the hell happened but it did,just for once,just for one custom resolution 1440p@120..
    since that time(first days I've installed 355.60) I could not make any custom res even at 60,59,30 hz..!

    Proof:

    taken from phone: look at the bottom right,G sync ON

    so I guess no one may provide some tips about it,right?

    I was playing METAL GEAR SOLID V with DSR at 150% (stock blur 33%) Then I downscaled at the same resolution to see a little 2% fps gain.
    Surprisingly i noticed that Kojima logo it's heavily distorted with DSR while with simple downscaling it's a lot better at non perfect resolution scaling ratio (and 90% of the times I use 150%)
    Someone has noticed this behavior?

    This guide is ancient.You can achieve a similar thing through the AMD drivers using Virtual Super Resolution. Should be in the Adrenalin Edition software>Settings>Display>Virtual Super Resolution.
