"Said,

you should try rendering 2x-4x the final size with less maxsamples and then scale down.

The result is quicker and better.

What does scaling down mean, simply reducing the size e.g. in Gimp? I tried this on a noisy render but it doesn't make any difference... What's the trick here?

Hello adiarc,

this is a quick tutorial how to reduce the noise in your image

correct

if you want to render a picture 1200x768 then render 3600x2304 with, say, 1000-1500 samples and then scale it down to 1200x768 in gimp. You'll see the noise clears off and the image is much much sharper

Thanks said and KaroBastardKiter, I will check it out.
