As downsampling is hardware technique the answer should be yes.

WHAT!?! That makes no sense. Downscaling can be done by hardware or software, and it's usually done by software.

@Anti-Ultimate
Not entirely sure what you mean by that but anytime your internal resolution is higher than your output resolution the framebuffer is being downscaled (using a high efb scale or SSAA for example).

How would you call it when using the scaler of the lcd? You force the monitor to downscale a higher resolution... What's there software?
I don't think that his question is related to fbo scaling, instead to the technique which some users use to play gta4. And there you 'just' modify the monitor driver to downscale a higher image.

It doesn't work that way. You're referring to the gta4 mod that increases the games internal resolution through SSAA. This has nothing to do with the monitor. The downscaling occurs before the image is output. This can be done through either custom software or through exposing the SSAA mode in the VIDEO CARD DRIVER to the application. But you are not modifying the monitor or the monitor firmware in any way. And as I said downscaling can be done through either hardware or software. So saying "downscaling is a hardware technique" is ridiculous, it can be done through hardware or software.
