To say the truth, I'm * PLAYING * ALL of my games maxed out *and* downsampled, at least to 1800p.
Thanx to my rig, they all run flawlessly. (40-45 FPS at worst on recent, not optimized yet games).
Skyrim wise, I rather stick to 1440p with SSAO overscales than to 1620 / 1800p with 0.5 scales. Matter of choice. (Totally different logic than for Oblivion, wich I run at 1800p w/ OBGE).
Of course, Skyrim screenshots are 4K all the way with maximum ramped up effects.
If I had the option to downsample through my drivers (damn apple screen is stopping me), I would be too!
You have the better hardware setup. I miscalculated with the 2x 760 4GB SLI...and I should have gone with a pair of 770 4GB SLI as you did. Most amount of VRAM and highest total shader count for the lowest relative cost (Titans can do better, but the cost/benefit balance with them is just way off.) I've thought about getting a 1920x1080 screen, maybe even three of them to run in portrait mode, and a quartet of 770s...but I don't have the cash currently.
With some SweetFX sharpening, 2560x1600 (1600p, only 200 lines of resolution less than you play with) the game looks damn good. All games look really good, and they play decently well, too (outside of Skyrim, all the games I play run 30fps+ at 1600p).
Sadly, Skyrim is the only game I can really do decent screenarchery with (thanks to ENB and Boris' hard work!) I would LOVE to do 4k Crysis 3 screenarchery (that game is absolutely beautiful!!), but I can't until I get some kind of different screen and video card setup.
For those who are in the same boat as I am, where they cannot do downsampling through the video driver, using Boris' high resolution rendering (not sure it could fairly be called supersampling yet...it doesn't actually supersample) is a GREAT way to get better visuals and better screenarchery...it just comes at a huge cost. It doesn't seem quite as performant as doing it via the driver. Maybe Boris can optimize it. One of the other games I love is Trine 2, and it does in-game supersampling. You can sample all the way up to 8k, and the results are pretty phenomenal. Performance isn't too bad, either, around 30fps on the low end...8k renders are just damnably beautiful!
I kind of like the idea of good in-game true supersampling. Things sharpen up and crisp up in a way that you just can't get via any alternative means.

I think it's actually locked just into whole number multipliers via ENB, not just x2 (e.g. x3, x4). However, I don't know that anyone would actually be crazy enough to try resolutions like that so it's kind of a moot point I suppose. Still, just wanted to clarify in case anyone wants to try frying their GPU to get a new one from an old warranty =P
Hmm...I tried 3x, and the game wouldn't start. I haven't tried 4x...not sure my system can handle that, even with 4GB of VRAM, 10240x5760 is MASSIVE (60 megapixels!)
