And my graphics card doesnt have WQHD resolution support, leaving my 144Hz monitor running at 30Hz.
Let me share my experience and how I overcame it with the help of the GPU scaling function.
What is GPU Scaling & How Does It Work?
If I say briefly, the GPU Scaling stretches a non-native GPU resolution to fit into your Monitor.
Such a statement isnt sufficient to understand precisely, requiring more explanation and technical terminologies.
Therefore, you must consider some terms and relevant know-how before I start explaining GPU Scaling in detail.
First, well discuss various Resolutions, EDID, Input lag, Adaptive Sync, and Display Scaling.
As we all know, every display has a particular amount ofResolution Adaptivecompatibility.
Similarly, GPUs are different based on some specificResolution Outputcapacity.
Those Custom Resolutions remain excluded from EDID, which is merely justifiable as a list of display resolution presets.
Furthermore, theInput Lagis the time delay a monitor needs to show images continuously coming from the GPU.
The input lag is estimated inms(milliseconds), affecting FPS while gaming.
Lastly,Adaptive Syncis essential for the gaming experience.

Now, What is GPU Scaling actually & how does it work?
TheGPU Scalingcan compress a higher resolution GPU output onto a lower native resolution monitor to show a richer view.
Alternatively, lower-resolution output from GPU remains sharp and considerable on higher-resolution displays to achieve extra FPS from GPU.
Regarding the fact that everything might look slightly pixelated or blurry.
Then which is better, GPU Scaling or Display / Monitor Scaling?
The fundamental difference is resolution and its sharpness.
Either way, I had to compress 4K into my FHD display to achieve a richer view.
The following section might help you learn how to enable & tweak GPU scaling.
How to Enable GPU Scaling on Both AMD & Nvidia?
Both AMD & Nvidia have GPU Scaling support under different names.
But you must fire up the Adaptive sync feature from the specific games to make it work.
The Adrenaline software from AMD made this process less difficult & accessible.
But the GPU Scaling on Nvidia cards has better tweaking options and is rich in quality.

Then what is the use case?
To get a sharp and considerable view in your native monitor resolution, youd need GPU Scaling turned on.
So, you see when and why GPU Scaling is necessary.

What increases FPS in GPU?
Does RTX give better FPS?

I always recommend learning about features before turning them on in your system.
Thus, you may turn your system acting up as you turned a setting on without knowing its effects.
