Windows 10: Lower resolution games playing in small window?

I was trying to play a game at a lower resolution than is my screens normal resolution 1080p instead of 3072 x 1920 and the game made my entire laptop screen into a small window that only took up a a little over a quarter of the screen, with the game playing in an even smaller window that took up a quarter of the first small window, with the rest of the screen black.I've tried hitting F11, Alt + enter, ctrl f, disabling the fullscreen optimizations and not using optimizations for windowed games, as well as running the program in compatibility mode to no luck. This problem also occurs in two

Preventing resolution breaking when playing a game fullscreen

I am sorry if the title sounds misleading, I'm not entirely sure how to best word this. I have a 3840x2160p monitor. When I play demanding games I usually have to play at a lower resolution. However I also want to play fullscreen otherwise the game will be confined to a small window, but then it breaks the resolution of the desktop and of the second screen, moving all the open windows in odd places...

Is there a way to play fullscreen at lower resolution without impacting either the second monitor or other windows size and position? Failing that, maybe a way to play in borderless fullscreen at lower resolution?

 

Using High Resolution on Game using lower monitor resolution on notebook ASUS

I'm playing a game and using GeDoSato game profile that can add custom render resolution that is not on this game. For example, the max resolution is 1366 x 768 on that game.

By using GeDoSato, I can render resolution, for example 3200 x 1800 so I can play using that resolution.

The problem is on GeDoSato we can downsampling it or show it with 3200 x 1800 resolution but its over limit the monitor so what I see is half of display.
What I want is how to settings it so if I'm using 3200 x 1800 display on 1366 x 768 monitor, it not showing half display.

But showing 3200 x 1800 on a 1366 x 768 monitor is by shrunken display or make it smaller than normal. So what I mean is 3200 x 1800 resolution is FIT on 1366 x 768 without downsampling.

Because I already had an old monitor, that monitor maximum resolution is 800 x 600 as far as I remember. But my graphic resolution until 1024 x 768. I tried setting the resolution graphic into 1024 x 768. So it means over the maximum resolution monitor.

It's working, but with smaller text, picture.

That is what I want. Using High Resolution than maximum monitor and the display is FIT but smaller.

Can someone help me? How to set it?

I'm using notebook ASUS with specification:

1. OS: Windows 10
   
2. Display Adapter: Intel(R) HD Graphics 620
   
3. VGA : Nvidia GeForce 930M
   
4. Max Resolution on my notebook: 1366 x 768
   
5. ASUS
   
6. Type : A456URK -> A456UR is okay A456URK is newer hardware
   

Note: what resolution I change is on the game. So when I play the game, I'm using Nvidia GeForce 930M. Intel is only for displaying others than the game.
Please help me how to show high resolution display on monitor with lower resolution than display example: monitor 1366x768. But I want show 3200 x 1800 display on the game without cut off or only show half. But the display is more shrunken / smaller but FIT without downsampling.

 

Full screen games with lower resolution than native resolution change the display resulution

Hi, Bhavik.

Thank you for your quick reply!

> When you close the game, what would be the resolution of the Windows?

Does "the Windows" mean the name of OS?

After closing the game and seeing a black screen, the resolution becomes 4k. FYI, while playing the game, I can confirm that the resolution of Windows is full HD by mouse-overing the preview that appears on Taskbar.

> Does that affect the icon arrangements on the Desktop? When you say it messes up, what exactly it do?

Yes! I experienced the followings.

• When opened the game
  
  • Windows on the sub monitor disappear. (As I mentioned before, they may move to the main monitor)
    
  • The icons on Desktop disappear. (maybe same as windows)
    
  • Maximized windows don't move. they stay where they were.
    
• When clsoing the game
  
  • The icon arrangements mess up.
    
  • Windows on the sub monitor gather on main monitor even if I arranged them on the sub monitor.
    
  • Maximized windows on the sub monitor is maximized onto the main monitor.
    

*the main monitor = 4k, the sub monitor = full HD
