Hi all,

 

New windows user here Coming from Mac I'm trying to figure out the resolution\scaling effect. I have a XPS 15 with 4k display and it's set by default to full resolution and 250% scaling (which I reduced to 225%). I was wondering what would be the difference if I reduce the resolution to something smaller (e.g. 2560 x 1600) and change the scaling accordingly. I read somewhere that it doesn't really change the real resolution. Is it true? The reason I'm asking is that for some games (RDR2) I have to close all applications, manually reduce the resolution in display settings and after I'm done change the resolution back and re-launch all applications (to avoid window size changes). It's really annoying ...

 

Thanks in advance
