@BenganJ - Finally, welcome to my 30 FPS trucking world, enjoy.
I actually use game Vsync=2 (half refresh rate) to lock to 30FPS with no limiter.
Add a link to your post in "note 4" before it gets lost?

@clear F1 - My workaround for 1680x1050 monitors not getting AA was DSR 1.78x to trigger it.
March 6th - first post link - viewtopic.php?p=16544#p16544
You can use 4.00x, that's twice width and twice height and will be better looking but at a much higher FPS hit and a more annoying desktop res.

@Both
My only slight issue with DSR over scaling is that the DSR scaling is square, meaning width and height are increased proportionally.
Whereas in game scaling 200% is double height and single width which is better for all those horizontal lines. So my mind keeps thinking of a way to use scaling for a single monitor...

@JHTrucker

Well, I have tried 1/2 refresh rate too, even ScanLine Sync x/2, but for now I have
settled for the simple FRL in NPI. I have a very slight screen tearing at times, but
I don't seem to be able to control that through RivaTuner, might have to update it.

One other drawback with DSR used on the monitor native setting too, is that not all
apps knows about it and I have to re-locate items on desktop every time I re-boot!
But all vital apps recognizes the virtual native res, so I will stay at this state, at least
until you come up with the next brilliant idea! :lol: :lol: :lol:

@BenganJ - When you say "I have tried 1/2 refresh rate too" do you mean in NPI or do you mean game vsync=2?
They are different. I worte "Vsync=2 (half refresh rate) to lock to 30FPS" in case someone with a 75hz monitor thought they would get 30 FPS using vsync=2.
Vsync=2 = no tearing = 30 FPS locked.
The mouse movement in game will feel a bit sluggish compared to NPI limit 30.

@JHTrucker

I meant Vertical Sync parameter in NPI set to 1/2 Refresh Rate.

@BenganJ - Ok, so default that and check config.cfg vsync=2 and try that instead.
EDIT: and no limiter.

@JHTrucker
Thank you. For the time being, use my best friend's settings.

@BenganJ
The game is working very well.
I used Bandicam for recording, but after setting NPI settings and freestyle color, I recorded with shadow play.
In the test game, 1440p recording cannot be performed by shadow play.
Bandicam can be recorded at 1440p, but the colors are not reflected. (Fading is remarkable)
Will you be able to record at 1440p with the recommended recording software or shadow play?

@clear F1

Sure my friend, Shadowplay can record the 2560x1440 res game data without problem.
Let it just be set to Resolution "As in game" and don't forget to raise the bitrate to around
30 Mbits/s! Shadowplay will also get the Freestyle settings too!

@JHTrucker

Thanks once more, mate! The vsync = "2" did the job perfectly, no screen tearing anymore! :D

sorry. :?
It was a mistake in setting shadow play. The setting was 2160k.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
