PAYDAY2 is AWESOME! "But could look better, in 2013..."

As I did the ... SLI Fix I had some fps left (e.g. 80 fps and more).
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!
It takes you only 2mins to set-up...

Downsampling
------------Before (1920x1080 @1920x1080)-----------|------------After (3840x2160 @1920x1080)-----------

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

Note: @3840x2160
Some monitors do not go beneath 56Hz, even if they are able to! That is driver related & can be fixed!
(My 24" Samsung e.g. needs the EDID Monitor Hz FIX[www.oc-burner.de] for 3840x2160 @54Hz, to work properly!)
Note also: 2880x1560 ==> 50%; 3840x2160==> 75% (loss of your "original" frames)

• Disable VSync
  
• Set everything to max
  
• Set your prefered "custom" resolution
  
• Set frame limiter to prefered fps count
  ( E.g. If you have 50fps with a resolution of 2880x1620, set the frame limiter to 45!
  => No FPS drops & the gameplay is smooth again...)

Tested on the following NVIDIA Drivers:

• 326.41 BETA
  
• 326.80 BETA
  
• ...
  
• 337.88 WHQL
  
• 340.43 BETA

[/i]
[/list]
--> I'm playing on 2880x1620, VSync Off, Everything Maxed out @50-62fps
==> Frame Limiter 45fps (=smooth & no fps drops)
(If you have the GPU power you can also try it with VSync Enabled.)

Unfortunately after installing a new Nvidia Driver, you have to set your custom resolution again! Even with the "Express Installation"... :(

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