GeDoSaTo? What kind of name is this?

Generic Dork Sauls Toransfarring.

 

[DarkSoul520]

Fantastic work Durante.

Can't wait to try this out!

 

[Prophet Steve]

This can be used for more then just DS2?

Yes, but not every game/application.

 

[Arulan]

[*]Support downsampling to high-frequency (e.g. 120 Hz or 144 Hz) target modes

This is something I've really needed for a while. Looking forward to release.

EDIT: And... it's released!

 

[KKRT00]

No, it works on the principle of

Quite excited Durante. I test quite thoroughly, so if you ever need help with some specific issue on multiple configs. Just ask!

Dont like magic. It reminds me those freaking coding to metal bullshit posts too much

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

I'm hyped. Hopefully we can use it on lots of things. I'd love to try Sonic Generations with it.

 

[gngf123]

Gedosato sounds Japanese.

Anyway, this looks like good work.

Posting this here since this is the right place for it.

Seems I'll finally be freed of shitty 3200x1800 shackles . Bring it on based D.

 

[Durante]

GeDoSaTo? What kind of name is this?

[...] It is a testament to both that dream, and to my complete inability to come up with good names.

Examples added to OP.

Thanks for making the thread by the way, great banner.

How about THE WORLD

 

[Grief.exe]

Are there comparison pics for non-downsampled, slightly downsampled, highly downsampled, massively downsampled and monstrously downsampled? I cant imagine you'd get a much noticeable benefit in that upper range.

Here is a comparison from Dark Souls. There is a gif comparison as well

Comparison images provided by Corky:

1) Default settings, 1024x720 render resolution @ 1920x1080

2) 1920x1080 render resolution @1920x1080, 1080 dof setting, no smaa

3) 6400x3600 render resolution @ 1920x1080, 1080 dof setting, ultra smaa

This sounds great! As a nvidia user, should this be combined with SGSSAA in nvidia inspector? How fast is GeDoSaTo compared with SGSSAA forced in nvidia inspector (if you are aiming for similar image quality)?

Generally if you want a playable framerate you want to do either SGSSAA or downsampling and not both together.

SGSSAA will give you better image quality when playing, downsampling gives better looking screenshots.

 

[Timu]

I wonder about the VRAM at that res.

 

[yatesl]

It needs MinHook.x86.dll to run. Presumably it's safe to get it here?

One important point is that you can meaningfully combine downsampling with post-AA, while that's not really possible with SGSSAA (if you inject it).

Oh crap. Version 0.1.1 soon!

 

[ANuclearError]

I'm getting an error when I try to run the program.

The program can't start because MinGook.x86.dll ism issing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

I have tried reinstalling and it did not work. Windows 7 Professional N 64 Bit (in case it matters). What can I do to fix this?

EDIT: Nevermind, acknowledged in post above.

Yea definitely, I always run SMAA when I downsample.

 

[bidaum]

In the OP example in the fixed one, while i does look better overall, there is some funky business going on with that light shaft in the top right...

 

[yatesl]

Oh crap. Version 0.1.1 soon!

That's what we're here for!

 

[TronLight]

GeDoSaTo so kawaii~

But seriously, great work! Always wanted to downsample some games, but the custom resolution thing was kind of stopping me. Can't wait to try it out.

 

[Orthogonal]

Oh crap. Version 0.1.1 soon!

Cool, came here inquiring about this. Durante is on the ball.

 

[Dennis]

It would be nice if people posted the games they have found that it works with.

So a list can be compiled.

And, nice work Durante!

 

[Twinduct]

Awesome work Durante!
Working for that Mod God title

We could get a spreadsheet going in the OP with games that work (green), partial (yellow), and don't work at all (red).

Then sum up what works and doesn't work later in the post for specific games.

 

[Durante]

Download updated, please try this one.

I don't know if I can post the link here, but this is the list so far for an earlier version. Not sure what (if anything) has been fixed.

This is an awesome idea.

We started that during the prealpha.

[Levyne]

Works!

 

[Auto-Reply]

According to a nice fellow over at steam gaf, it's a known bug with Nividia cards. For some reason, using an HMDI cable to run my PC to my TV causes some sort of bug that only occurs when downsampling, and that is that my screen gets MUUUUCCCCH darker when I try downsampling. I have to crank the brightness up almost to max on most games so that it looks ok. It never happens outside of downsampling, though.

I've been through that issue very recently

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=106518569&postcount=3745

The RGB toggler didn't work for me but changing the display/desktop colorspace from RGB to YCbCr444 did the trick, no more unintentional darkening!

 

[Dr Dogg]

Hold on Bokeh depth of field in Dark Souls II via GeDoSaTo: DS2 Edition?

Sterling work!

 

[Durante]

Works!

Great.

 

[Orthogonal]

Works now, no more .dll error.

 

[Plywood]

The future is now!

WE GOT ALL THE NUMBERS

 

[RS4-]

Missing the minhook dll

edit - got the fixed one. Will test on Dota

 

[Cizeta-Moroder]

Get Downsampling Together

 

[Levyne]

So what will happen if I tell Dark Souls 2 to render and downsample to a 16:10 resolution using this?

If no one else knows, I will be sure to report, haha.

 

[Terbinator]

Someone needs to add "Durante" to that Vince McMahon gif.

 

[DrTeflon]

Is this VAC bannable?

I'm in the same boat. I think it should work... it did on DSFix.

I'm biased since I commissioned and edited the article, but I think everyone should read this, since Durante put a ton of work into explaining how he made GeDoSaTo and how it works! There are also a ton of awesome image comparisons in there from Dark Souls 2.

 

[Nokterian]

This is just awesome,fantastic durante now i can down sample my heart content without self fiddling with options. I will donate money again like i did before just because your doing stuff that helps people like me to make it easy and make games look great.

 

[PixelHorror]

Is this VAC bannable?

If we're talking about DSII, it doesn't uses it. As far as I know.

 

[Durante]

Yeah, with an absolutely fucking ridiculous performance hit.

But it's nice quality

Aaah.

Maybe I should turn that back off, haha.
