Introduction

First of all it is pretty easy!
It takes you only 2mins to set up 2880x1620 and therefor to achieve a far more crisp picture!

=> This guide also works for The Walking Dead Season 1
& all other games which support high resolutions.

Tutorial

Everything is set & configured in the Nvidia Control Panel (as shown below)...

1. Go to Display ->Adjust desktop size & position ||| 1.1 Go to Display -> Change Resolution

1. Set everything as shown above and click Apply.
1.1 Select your native resolution and click Customize.
=> There you tick Enable resolutions not exposed by the display & press Create Custom Resolution.
2. Create your custom resolution:

It is important that you set the timings "Manual" as shown above.
(The Pixel Clock should not go above 165MHZ!)
2.1 click TEST
If you set everything correct, your Desktop will be shown in the resolution you chose!
(It is important: that you click Yes if you see your Desktop in the desired resolution.
=> This is for adding the resolution and not for setting it up for your desktop.)
3. Set your custom resolution ingame

Note: @3840x2160
Some monitors do not go beneath 56Hz, even if they are able to! That is driver related & can be fixed!
(My 24" Samsung e.g. needs the EDID Monitor Hz FIX[www.oc-burner.de] for 3840x2160 @54Hz, to work properly!)

Comparison

Before (1920x1080 @1920x1080)

After (2880x1620 @1920x1080)

Before (1920x1080 @1920x1080)

After (2880x1620 @1920x1080)

(Those are *.jpeg screenshots, they actual cannot represent the total&final image quality ingame...but it's a prospect.)

Attention

Unfortunately after installing a new Nvidia Driver, you have to set your custom resolution again! Even with the "Express Installation". (on some systems)

Note

This Guide works for all Games which support high resolutions!

@isolated: Well, back in 2014 (see date of post) there simply was no so such "thing".

why not just use dl-dsr on 20, 30 or 40 series card to run at 4k or a higher resolution then the native res of the LCD?

Will try that later, thank you!

Might be the wrong Hz clock, or it is nvidia driver related!

As I had to switch back to driver version 546.33 , so my custom resolution of 4800x2000 @120Hz works properly. The latest Nvidia driver messed up custom resolutions, at least for me.

Hey I know this guide is quite old, but I just found it.
Unfortunately when applying the 2880x1620 resolution, my game is flickering the whole time. Any idea why?
