I just want the scaling smaller, i find the icons and the text way to big. This is because the monitor is a 32 inch. Is it possible to get it at a 80/90% scale?

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    There is no method, setting or even a registry hack to set the scaling below 100%, it is not possible.

    The only way to make things on the screen smaller is to make the resolution higher, but that may not be possible if you have risoluto set to the recommended resolution for your screen.

    Right click your Desktop and select Display Settings, what resolution is set there, and what is the native resolution of your 32" monitor?

    Hi Dave,

    Thank you for the reply.

    Both screens are already on max settings, the displays are 3840×2160 (4K) running at 160hz.

    Maybe it can be changed in the Nvidia control panel? But I think a resolution higher than 4k is a little too much. (Not that my video card can't handle it)

    If your screens are at maximum resolution, you will not be able to increase the resolution and trying to do that can block the signal going to the screen, so there is no working method to make things on your screen smaller.
