I have a 1440p monitor but I want to play skyrim in 1080p. What are my options?

I just upgraded to a QNIX qx2710. There is no way I can get playable framerates with Serenity ENB and tons of mods at 1440p. It was okay at 1080p. How do I play at a lower resolution without messing up the aspect ratio or distribution? Is it possible?

 

I have AMD btw.

I did try actually. Skyrim looked blurry.

That's the problem with lowering the rendering resolution.

There is no way to fix that

It may help if you set lod bias to something like -1 but doubt that'll help much

The AMD Center Timings GPU Scaling Option seems to be the best. It just puts a black border around the image.

So when I take screenshots this way, the screenshot has the black border around it when I open the jpg in 1440p mode. Anyway to get rid of that?

I don't believe there is a way to fix that... well, there may but not with the method that is being used.

Because your display is 1440p but the renderer size is only 1080p.

So when you take a screenshot you'll get a 1080p picture in the center of 1440p image.

 

The only thing that makes it so that it fills the entire screen is the GPU scaling.

Get GIMP, Photoshop, etc. 

 

Rescale the image to 1080p 

 

Export to jpg, and voila.

Damn you 1440p. Don't make anything easy.

I think basically I just need to put Skyrim on hold until I get an even better GPU that can play it at 1440p with ENB.
