📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses whether it's possible to render images at higher resolutions than the monitor's maximum in Windows 7. The original poster seeks a way to render at full HD even on lower-resolution monitors, considering options like virtual screens and downsampling. While a viewer suggests third-party software for virtual screen extension, the original poster realizes that native downsampling is typically only available on NVIDIA drivers, leading to some curiosity about AMD's lack of similar features.

As the pixel dimensions of the image that is being rendered by a gpu can be different from the ones from a monitor, I wonder if it is possible to set higher values than allowed by the monitor.

What I want to achieve is that my gpu renders images at e.g. full hd [1920x1080] even if the monitor's maximum is lower hd [1280x720]. This could be done by downscaling but I don't know how to set this in Windows 7 Home Premium.

thanks for help!

It allows a virtual screen that is bigger than your monitor and the ability to zoom out and see more displayed on the monitor than would normally fit.

I found out that what I need is downsampling but this is only available natively on nVidia drivers. this sort of sucks now that I have an AMD card

Wow. That's interesting. I wonder why AMD doesn't allow downsampling?
