With Deathloop less than a week away, Bethesda has released the hardware requirements needed to run the PC version. In addition to specifics on the minimum and recommended specs required to run the game, Bethesda has also revealed that the PC version will include support for FidelityFX Super Resolution.
Released last June, FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) is AMD's supersampling technology that aims to make your PCs work smarter, not harder. FidelityFX Super Resolution offers four image upscaling modes: Ultra Quality, Quality, Balanced, and Performance. Each mode focuses on achieving either higher image quality or increasing the frame rate in games.

FSR serves somewhat as a competitor to Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) tech; however, there are some major differences between the two. Mainly, DLSS relies on machine learning, whereas FSR does not. FSR is also open-source and supports AMD and Nvidia GPUs, including the aging GTX 10-series of graphics cards, which do not support DLSS.
Deathloop joins FSR's slowly growing list of games that support the tech. This list includes Valve's Dota 2, Capcom's Resident Evil Village, and Ubisoft Toronto's Far Cry 6.
