Key points
- Brute force alternative to Anti-aliasing (AA).
- Fully compatible with every game supporting "higher" resolutions
- May have all the game-specific downsides of running at higher resolutions (e.g. stretched UI)
Windows
AMD

GeDoSaTo
- GeDoSaTo and Borderless Gaming can be used together.
- Allows games to be downsampled at any resolution, whenever a configuration file is available.
- Each game requires a specific configuration file with specific instructions beforehand, as such most titles may not be supported by default.

Notes
- Certain titles may only allow resolutions up to the current desktop resolution to be selected / used, while other titles (eg. most Unity engine games) may allow downsampled resolutions to be picked, but will still cap the actual rendering resolution to the desktop resolution.
- These titles can usually be worked around by changing desktop resolution to the desired downsampled resolution prior to launching the game.
