I want to make a 4k game video for Youtube but I only have access to a 1440p monitor. On Windows I could use DSR, how do I do this in Linux? Kubuntu, KDE Plasma 6.4.5, RTX 2080, Nvidia driver version 580.95.05

Use 3840 for both -w and -W?

gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 3840 -H 2160 -b -- %command% -skipdialog

Instruction:

[gamescope] [Info]  console: gamescope version 3.16.19 (gcc 15.2.1)
usage: gamescope [options...] -- [command...]                                                                                                                                     
Options:
  --help                         show help message
  -W, --output-width             output width
  -H, --output-height            output height
  -w, --nested-width             game width

that works but then it doesn't fit on my screen so I can't see what I'm doing in the game lol

You can still play through OBS's viewport lol

in OBS you can scale the viewport to fit your screen.

That's true! I'll probably do that lol, thanks

This ALMOST works lol. The problem is the center of the game is off-screen, and the game tries to keep the mouse centered in its center, so my camera just spins like crazy lol

Maybe I can fix this with some abuse of my multi monitor layout
