Excellent article and coverage for this game settings and effects combined with performance hits. Don't know how I missed this when reviewed. Does show RT can be very usable even at 4K if done right.

Wonder if FSR will be included in an update?

Hope you cover FSR like you did here, that is if there is a game that uses it well.

We know Godfall is gonna use it, heh

It might be the best game right now, for looking at FSR, until others come out that are worth it. Far Cry 6 will have it, otherwise, there aren't any Tripple A titles that I know of that are going to support it yet. The game list for supporting it, is not impressive.
