Dealspwn: "So, in the end, Shatter Bay isn't exactly hugely memorable or interesting as a setting, the opponent AI is teeth-gnashingly unforgiving (particularly without a rewind button), and the range of cars is a bit uninspiring - but in spite of itself, Ridge Racer Unbounded is actually a lot of fun. It'll make you scream, curse, and swear, you'll think of at least half a dozen improvements that could have been made, halfway through your first race. But that can be put down to Bugbear's inexperience with big budget games. The most important thing is that you'll keep coming back, again and again. It's a perfect time to release this game, particularly after the painfully average Need For Speed: The Run last year.
"It might not scale the bar that Criterion set several years back, but it'll certainly provide hours of entertainment, and instil a grim determination to succeed that you don't find in many other places. Couple that with the extensive creation suite and social sharing features, and Bugbear's robust racer might just be the best value package you pick up this spring. It'll certainly tide you over until the next Burnout, at the very least."

I've tried it on my 760 & in all honesty it's not making any noticeable difference so I've switched it off & not bothering with it any more.
I game at 1080p as its the highest my monitor will go. I Used this DSR to play a few games at 4k but all it really did was decrease input sensitivity. After a good few retries & several close up inspections it does improve it but the difference is minute going on microscopic. At least on a 22" screen anyway, I would image it would be more noticeable on a bigger screen.
I see very little difference between the 1080p and the downsampled 4k. Frankly I can't tell much of a difference between my 1080p and my 1280p monitor, except for one being given 21" and the other being 30". Resolution past 1080p is the least important part of graphics. I think it's really about HDR, high def textures, number of polygons in a model, number of objects on screen, physics ..... We need to start putting increased horsepower to use improving gameplay. More enemies on screen, fully destructible environments, massive open world's, human like AI. The good news is a lot of this can be done server side. AI, massive persistent world's a and per the Crackdown demo, massive destructible environments. Wonder when we will get a mmo that looks like Crysis 3, has human fee liking AI like for a 5, destructible environments like Battlefield and particle/object physics like Crackdown. Also need to get rid of the redundant fetch quests and kill 20 spiders and replace with a great plot/story like BORDERLANDS or Balders Gate.
