Thanks! Love how well edited the video is.

Great video. Would've been nice to what % sharpening you used for FSR. FSR 2.2 with 100% sharpening is so much sharper than native resolution, especially for things that are far away.

[@ARSHER_OW]

I left sharpening at the default (0.25%) number when you first switch to FSR. Sharpening does not affect performance in the game (even if you set it to 100%) and works more like a filter (and honestly it can make image look weird and ugly with hard, outlined edges if you set image sharpening too high (especially shadows look weird and pixelated)). I hope it answers your question and thank you for watching :)

Bro simply released a video with one of the most profound songs created by humanity and went to sleep peacefully

[@AhmedMohamed-wq3vf]

iam saying that fsr 2.2 gives better image and sharpness and performance than native
is that right ?

[@ARSHER_OW]

In some ways FSR 2 really does produce a good result with performance boost. But for more stable image quality (and to avoid some weird pixelation issues like the one on Illari’s hair (1:34) and on effects and shields during gameplay (2:45) I would recommend sticking to native resolution mode if possible. If you’re looking for a balance with good image quality and performance boost, then FSR 2 is a good choice and it will get the job done :)

[@SHUTENSEPC]

The FSR 2.2 adds some strange jittering to the image sadly

I guess I'm blind as a bat, cause I don't see any difference 😅

Same

Can I run FSR 2.2 with native resolution if I just want the AA but upscaling?

[@ponaskompetencija]

no

[@gandalfdengra5580]

This sucks. They should let us set the render scale to preference..

That song is too good

[@g00gleisfraud]

name of song?

2 weeks late, but it's the map theme from Mass Effect!

[@reifenrir]

ok so fsr 2.2 gives better performance kay, many thanks c: i dont care if i can barely si widow at the other side of the map i want to have 240+. thanks for the video

[@ponaskompetencija]

no it gives worse performance

[@MacGamingGuides]

Can you do one like this for dlss

[@ARSHER_OW]

Unfortunately, there’s no DLSS support in Overwatch 2. I will gladly make one if blizzard will ever add it to the game

[@mrquaackers]

@@ARSHER_OW it says there is dlss 3 on high quality upsampling

[@Dydymistery]

@@ARSHER_OW now DLSS have been added to the game ^^

[@campylooksnice]

Not bad at all

[@Wutwut1n1]

who can tell the difference lol
