As you lot tin can see in the snapshot we grabbed below, FSR appears to boost the frame rate by around 44% in that item scene. Of course, we don't know the FSR setting, the other graphics settings (including whether or not the ray traced reflections and shadows were enabled hither), or the PC used other than that it was an 'AMD PC'.

Using AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution helps usa address this trouble, because it means more players can enjoy Far Weep 6 with their graphics settings cranked up without compromising framerate.
