how can I uninstall the non-HDR version ? I have both now
Well I can disconnect it in display settings but no idea how to uninstall

Getting Error C1083 Cannot open include file: 'iddcx.h': No such file or directory IddSampleDriver.

I have installed SDK, WDK and can see the file IddCx.dll in WinSxS subfolders. Also there is a IddCx.h file within the root directory.

Heya,

I really like this its really helpful to get more real screen estate for remote support activity and such. I wonder if there is a possibility to force my 1080p monitor to use 1440p resolution somehow?
(I am currently remote working so it is a perfect time to test this utility haha)

this is a *virtual* display driver. You should use nvidia DSR if you have a nvidia gpu. And the "4x" setting only (at 0% smoothness, or very low) so it's integer scaling. (2160p on 1080p, 2x2 pixels become 1pixel) Anything else will look blurry and just worse than native. dldsr can somewhat work with fonky res (non integer scaling), but DSR is just the only good way to do it but is way more expensive, especally on a laptop for AMD or Intel, I don't know, maybe they have something in their control panel...

for remote working, then you use this, connect into the pc, and then disconnect the real monitor (in display settings), so only the virtual one is used. this makes the image sharp as it should, if you set the res in this VDD with your guest pc monitor res, at least with moonlight+sunshine Le jeu. 29 févr. 2024, 04:20, averagejooe ***@***.***> a écrit :

Yea I understand it is a virtual Display Driver haha. I have this bad habit of hallucinating about things that is not possible.
It is working flawlessly for remote working yea. I can set the display all the way to 8K60. I prefer 1440p 60. The display is really sharp and felt amazing compared to the usual 1080p limit on my primary display (office monitor), because my home monitor is 27" 1440p monitor

Is there a reason 90hz isn't available as an option on resolutions above 1920 x 1080?

I have been wondering about one thing.

I just recently got into VR stuff on PC thanks to the PSVR2 getting support for SteamVR. Now i do own a 32:9 5120x1440 super ultrawide display. Going into SteamVR, my desktop is available as a screen in the virtual reality space, either through different apps or through the dashboard. Now since i run my display at native resolution of 5120x1440, the available desktop in VR is HUGE.

While in VR, all i would actually need is a small 1920x1080 or maybe 2560x1440 resolution desktop to navigate stuff like chrome, discord or just spotify.

Would this virtual display driver enable me to just create a 1920x1080 display and use that one for the time i am in VR? I tried unplugging turning off my display but what then happens, it just picks up the TV that's connected to my pc and uses a 4k display instead for desktop stuff. I don't want to go around and unplug every display i own just to have less hassle in VR.

How does this Virtual Display behave on windows itself? I seem to find a ton of videos on youtube about the installation and setup process but no one actually shows the virtual display at all. Is it a separate window i can just use? Is it off-screen all the time?

As you can see, a lot of "strange questions" from a guy just discovering this.

I don't have VR so i don't fully understand what you mean. Basically, your understanding of this tool is correct on the last sentence. It is a virtual display so it's off screen all the time. So for instance if I only have a full HD monitor in the office, I cannot use this tool to display a bigger resolution like QHD or 4K, ON THE MONITOR itself. But I can create a QHD or 4K virtual display, then when I need to access the PC remotely in my QHD monitor at home, I could pick utilize the QHD resolution set on VDD by toggling which display set as primary/extend, then access this added screen real estate using Moonlight/Sunshine/Parsec streaming.
So, like it's mainly beneficial for headless setup. For your VR, it would depend if the software like SteamVR (sorry I don't know if this is correct or not I don't own one) can "see" the virtual display when set as primary.

If you want to try this, I recommend you to install some remote assist tool like realVNC/Parsec of some sorts, because naturally when you set this virtual display as primary, you cannot see it on your 4K TV nor 32:9 monitor, so you need another device to access this remotely.

This explanation helped a lot, thanks.
Seems like i will just have to try it out and see what happens in VR then 👍

I might post my results here afterwards.
