Intel Graphics HD 630 - scaling issues

[MTomc]

Hello, I have a system with Keby Lake cpu and with Intel Graphics HD 630. The problem is scaling.

I found that it has blur issue too when scaling via graphics driver. I have a 4k monitor and when using 1080p resolution its so blurry even though 4k is exactly 4times of 1080p so it should scale perfectly without any blurred,fuzzy image.

Do you please know about this issue ? Is there any tweak to make this better?

Indeed, at integer ratios, scaling should be done just by pixel duplication, with no unreasonable blur at all. There should be a driver option to disable blur or at least to switch between bilinear/bicubic and nearest-neighbour interpolation.

For FHD (1920×1080) and HD (1280×720) image on 4K (3840×2160) monitors of 24-27-inch size where individual image pixels are almost indistinguishable, blur unreasonably decreases perceptible sharpness without adding anything useful. For example, Full HD (1920×1080) image could be displayed on 4K display (3840×2160) with no blur, just by displaying one image pixel as exactly 4 (2×2) absolutely identical physical pixels with no interpixel diffusion whatsoever.

Given that the feature is not available in all 4K monitors, graphics-driver-powered scaling is the only way to go.

For Intel: for better understanding of how nonblurry integer-ratio scaling should work, please see the http://tanalin.com/_experimentz/demos/non-blurry-scaling/ web demo.

Still no official response from anyone 😕 ? Please Intel, take a look a at this issue, its not that hard to implement this and will make a huge diferrence for us users on 4k screen laptops. Actually, there is a probability that nonblurry scaling is exactly what could become selling point or killer feature, competitive advantage of low-performance graphics that would otherwise be not interesting in general.

Could you please look at this issue.

Hello Donwey,

Thank you for contacting the Intel community. Is the driver version that you are using 15.45.14.4590? Is with this version that your get this problem? Please try as well the Beta driver, you can download it here:https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26604/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-Beta-15-45-?product=98909 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26604/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-Beta-15-45-?product=98909 If the issue still persists, I will appreciate if you could reply with the information at the following link:/thread/77761 https://communities.intel.com/thread/77761 Please don't forget to attach the system information with the latest graphics driver installed:Intel SSU (System Support Utility) (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility😞 Download Intel® System Support Utility

Ivan, this thread is about a feature request, not about a regular issue, so a stock reply like your's one can't help.

[RSami]

Yeah, they should add this feature.

It will be usefull for playing games at non native resolutions.

[MTomc]

As MT_ already mentioned, this thread is about feature request, sorry for misleading topic name but this is such basic thing that i thought its already implemented but it just doesnt scale well. For most 4k users out there this is definitely someting we need to have implemented in future intel gpu drivers. Could intel please take a look at this and implement it in future graphics drivers? Adding more scaling options like: disable scaling, integer scaling, nearest-neighbour scaling. the feature is not available in all 4K monitors, graphics-driver-powered scaling is the only way to go 😕 please Intel.

Best Regards,

Milan

I am sorry Ivan, I sold my 4k monitor and exchanged it with FHD until this issue is not solved. I posted feedback at the following link

Thank you for the information and at that link your feedback will be very much appreciated and it will be taken into consideration for future driver released.

Best wishes, Ivan.
