Thanks to AMD's open source FidelityFX, a passionate member of the VR community has created a mod that allows you to enable functionality for a LARGE library of Steam VR games to get better framerates/resolutions.

In this video I talk about why this is a big deal and what it says for the future of PC VR.

FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR for short) is an upscaling technique developed by AMD, but it works on almost any graphics card, including NVIDIA cards. The idea is that the game renders to a lower resolution internally, saving GPU time and achieving higher FPS, as long as the CPU doesn't bottleneck it. The resulting lower resolution display is then upscaled to the target resolution by FSR, with the aim of recovering some of the detail lost due to the lower resolution display. This is done in two steps. The first is actually upscaling to the target resolution, paying particular attention to the edges in the lower resolution image. The second step is a sharpening step to counteract some of the blur caused by the upscaling.
