Monitors Native Resolution

Hello. I was wondering if there was a way to change my monitors Native resolution within windows. I know how to change the resolution through the windows settings, but its doesn't change it the way I want it to. The NVIDIA program DSR will upscale your native resolution by whatever magnitude you specify, and then downscale to your native resolution. If I change my resolution through windows or even NVIDIA control panel, DSR still upscales from 4k. Is there a way I can make windows think im using a 1080p or 1440p monitor?

    This isn't quite what I'm looking for. I'm trying to force my pc to a lower resolution. But through the NVIDIA control panel, I can't get their Downscaling programs like DSR to use anything other than my monitors native resolution. I am using a 4k monitor
