Current Events > So I just updated Windows 10 and it defaulted to 125% scaling - does this...

(+) Yeah! (+)

...impact gaming visuals in any way? I assume not, but I actually kinda like this larger scaling at least on my 15-inch laptop screen

---

No. Only thing that does is scale the Windows UI and font. Games have their own scaling render for their UI.

Oh, well that's nice then. Only downside is that visuals aren't as crisp at 125%, but they're sure a lot easier to read

Use this website to figure out your DPI

https://www.designcompaniesranked.com/resources/is-this-retina/

- Windows Graphical System is based on 96 DPI, as a forward moving solution;
Legacy GDI used 10 point Font as calibrated 100% Text Scale towards a 96 DPI device, regardless of Display Diagonal size.

It's not hard, the table just happens to be long.

That's an entire debacle that deserves it's own topic, separate from Windows Text Scaling issues.
