Graphics Settings

• The first settings screen deals with the usual monitor settings
• The game supports borderless windowed, windowed and fullscreen
• Maximum framerate is 120, 60 or 30. There's no "unlimited" option. The config file is encrypted, so manually removing the limit through editing the config doesn't work either.
• While all resolutions are listed, it seems that only 16:9 is properly supported. On our 16:10 test system, we had black bars on top and bottom. All the time during gameplay, too, not only in cutscenes.

• On the "Graphics" page you'll find a lot of advanced options for fine-tuning
• There's four presets: "low", "standard", "high", "ultra-high", and "custom". For some reason, probably because this is an AMD-sponsored title, all profiles except for ultra will enable AMD's FSR 2 upscaling technology by default.
• Variable-rate-shading promises to improve FPS by rendering certain parts of the image at slightly lower resolution, while the important areas are rendered at max res for best quality.
• Forspoken supports DLSS, FSR and classic upscaling. There's no support for DLSS 3 frame generation or DLAA
• There's a sharpening filter control for DLSS and FSR
• Anti-aliasing options are: "Off", "FXAA", "SMAA" and "Temporal AA"
• Motion Blur can be disabled, Depth of Field, too
• Ray tracing options available are RT shadows, and RT Ambient Occlusion
• Forspoken comes with an integrated benchmark, which is a bit unrealistic, so we used our own test scene.
