Does Virtual Super Resolution increase/decrease FPS?

[Denraisr]

I cant seem to find some benchmarks about the VSR since the release of catalyst omega. So I just want to ask if it increase/decrease FPS while its turned on ?

VSR causes your game to render at a higher resolution, but then downsamples it to your native resolution. It would decrease FPS because you are essentially playing at a higher resolution. It all depends on the game. If you try to run it on Far Cry 4, you would notice a hit. A lighter game like League of Legends or Counter Strike might not take as much as a performance hit.

tl;dr it looks nicer but it will reduce framerate depending on the game.

VSR basically lets you play games and whatever, at a higher resolution than otherwise allowed.

So its just a fancy name for supersampling. As always, playing at a higher resolution will decrease performance.
