Nvidia's DSR: just super-sampling, or something more?

It's dynamtic super resolution as the name, but what I'm wondering is, is there any difference between that, and 2x2 super sampling?
 
Also will it work for anything other than 4k -> 1080p?
 
Even if it is supersampling only I guess it may have a different means of scaling/adapting the image down than previous versions.
 
Just wondering if anyone has info on this.

    I don't know if it was this forum, or another but someone said their display resolution was something under 1080p. So he was only able to do 2k. And he has similar questions about that.

    DSR Look nice, most of people know that AA or MSAA only can't fix picture on this way.

    That will be improvement in gaming for few months drastic, I expect lot from G-Sync with DSR, GPU Power and enough Video Memory gaming will be more real than ever. NVIDIA domination in visible. AMD try to fight for place with raw power only...and still they can offer lot of performance...
    But smooth gaming tendency for reality, pictures, filters, even performance and quality of reference hardware, everything is on NVIDIA side.
    AMD is raw power, without PhysX, without G-Sync, hot, noisy, low quality of build, on Mantle people with strong graphics and CPU don't need to think.

    Instead of just sampling the edges, it renders the entire scene at a much higher resolution, then down scales to your native resolution. It actually works really well.

    NVIDIA has been doing some great work in this area.

    You can even set your desktop resolution higher, check this out on 1600x900 display :D

    Now I have a 2560x1600 display. 
     
    @ 5120x3200 @ 60hz, I'd be exceeding both DP1.2 and HDMI 2.0 bandwidths. 
     
    Does it reduce it to 2560x1600 when it's outputted to the display or would it be the same as sending out a 5120x3200 signal?

    It isn't actually changing the output resolution. It is internally processing, then supersampling the image then sending it back out at the resolution of your display. Effectively the bandwidth isn't changing to the display.

    Hi there, I have 2 GTX 970 since today. I have a Question for DSR. I see the DSR-Option in the Driver Settings only if I disabled SLI - with SLI ON, DSR Option is gone. Can someone explane this, a bug or is not working with SLI?

    Probably a bug with the current driver, give it till next driver release, then check, and make sure it will enable with Sli on.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersampling
     
    It seems to be  2x2 super-sampling using the Grid algorithm and a custom 13-tap Gaussian filter so the main difference is the custom filter, when compared to older versions of super-sampling.

    Why some User say and show that they can run DSR with active SLI? Thats the question, maybe a bug that make it working - but we need it too

    DSR works on my 2xGTX 980 system. I can provide a screen shot when I get home from work later this afternoon.

    I've just installed my two EVGA GTX 980 SC's and they are great.  Quiet and fast.
     
    But..., how does one enable this DSR?  I didn't see the option anywhere in the Nvidia control panel.
     
    My EVGA GTX 780's, vanilla version would give a score of about 7,880 in Firestrike Extreme with the cards set at stock speeds.  The 980's pushed that up to 10,692 with them set at stock speeds.  3DMark11 went from 18,789 at stock speeds on the 780's to 23,471 on the 980's.  No coil whine, no stuttering and no problems at all so far.
