The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 4 page for more details.

High-fidelity upscaling

Using third-party utilities, it's possible to force the game to use a different screen percentage than the game otherwise uses.

Special K^[7]

Run the game using the latest development build of Special K.
Start playing the game via either a new game or an existing save game.
Open the Special K overlay (default key combo is Control+⇧ Shift+← Backspace).
Click on Direct3D 12 Settings if not already open.
Click on NVIDIA DLSS if not already open.
Note the quality preset listed in the DLSS Perf/Quality row. (For these instructions, it will be assumed the listed preset is Quality.)
Right-click on DLSS Perf/Quality.
From the window which appears, click the check box on the Quality row.
Using the slider on the Quality row, lower the resolution percentage until the desired percentage is reached. (Default percentages for other quality presets, such as Performance, are also shown and can be used for reference.)
Close the Special K overlay and exit the game.
Run the game again using Special K.

Notes:

Works independently of driver version.

If the game is using a quality preset other than Quality, ensure the appropriate check box and slider is used. For example, if the game is using the Performance preset, use the Performance row instead of the Quality row when adjusting screen resolutions.

The game must always be run via Special K using this fix; otherwise, the original screen percentage will be restored.

DLSSTweaks^[8]

Download DLSSTweaks.
Follow the official installation instructions, ensuring to copy the chosen DLL as well as dlsstweaks.ini to
Once installation is complete, open the installed dlsstweaks.ini in a text editor.
Navigate to the [DLSSQualityLevels] section.
Modify the appropriate quality preset to a desired screen percentage between 0.0 (DLSS disabled) and 1.0 (native resolution/DLAA) based on the following:
- Quality: System resolution is between 1920x1080 and 2560x1440.
- Performance: System resolution is greater than 2560x1440 and less than or equal to 3840x2160.
- Ultra Performance: System resolution is greater than 3840x2160.
Save and close the file.

Note:

Requires Nvidia driver version 528, 531, or later.

[DLSSQualityLevels] section of dlsstweaks.ini uses default screen percentages for all quality presets; these are usable as a reference when modifying the quality preset appropriate to the system's actual resolution.

Tested using Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker and tweaking Antialiasing option in-game. r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing is always 2, which per official UE4 console command documentation, means the game is using TAA. In-game Antialiasing setting follows standard UE4 AA quality presets, which will always leave the chosen post-processing AA method even on the lowest setting.

DLSS here is always using "Auto" mode. Confirmed with a 4K display and DLSS HUD where you can see that the game is upscaling from 1080p. Auto mode select rendering resolution depending on the output one. See more here: RTX UI Developer Guidelines.pdf
