Can anyone tell me what the new FSR 1.0 setting does for us? and if i activate it and set it to 100% will it have any negative impact on my framerate/gameplay? it seems to adjust sharpness but is that all?

    FSR (Fidelity Super Resolution) is a rendering technique that allows the graphics card to render a less detailed image, but make it appear like a more detailed image. This should increase framerate, not lower it.

    I haven't had a chance to toy with it yet, and it does depend how BHVR have set up the logic of this option in the menu, but 100% FSR to my mind should mean rendering the lowest detail image possible with the maximum use of fsr, so could possibly make the scene look a little worse (as more of the scene is being approximated), but massively save performance.

    On PS5 and Xbox, games are capped to run at specific FPS to comply with TRCs on those platforms (platforms won't usually allow wildly shifting frame rates). So for PS5 and Xbox, I believe DBD is capped at 60 FPS, as it can't consistently hit 120.

    As far as I'm aware this hasn't changed, DBD is still 60 FPS, but if it can consistently hit up to 120 FPS on those platforms, that may change, as both support it.

    So in conclusion... Xbox and PS5 are pretty smooth already, and don't really experience drops in performance at 60 FPS, so FSR won't really do much... but it may be the stepping stone to 90/120 FPS in future!
