artphotodude2019: Are you having games not go full-screen when 4x3 format or refuse to display at all? Makes sure in your graphics control panel that your GPU is handling the scaling and use "Aspect Ratio" whenever possible.

Now ONTO THE BIG ONE - SLOWDOWN in older arcade games like King of Fighters games and such. There are LOTS of discussions about this online, and I accidentally found the answer - Vsync malfunctions in the games! Go into your graphics control panel again and OVERRIDE the games settings to adaptive, or ideally "Fast" if you have it as an option and you can max your resolution and the games play flawlessly. No compatibility mode, or having to down-grade your desktop resolution needed.

This also works for a lot of newer games that can be problematic like Ion Fury an even Fighting EX Layer.

Radiance1979: personally i'm prefering integer scaling over aspect ratio scaling but in some rare cases i would use aspect because integer renders an image that can't be scaled so the only thing you see is this very small box at the center of the screen. i'm not sure if you are aware but integer is actually ment for those older games. examples during the introduction where FTL and mario<-----!!!! not sure where i can find a mario pc game but it is the thought that counts right ;)

artphotodude2019: Glad to hear it!artphotodude2019: I think integer-scaling really only works at certain desktop resolutions. While it does make the "Cleanest" scale, when you are going to 2048x1536 aspect is plenty crispy for my tastes and a heck of a lot less hassle. Also, latency just doesn't matter anymore. Good cards all rend these old games at HUNDREDS of frames per second.
