What is VRS?

Would someone please explain it?

RTX shadows, lights and more effects.

VRS stands for Variable rate shading. Put simply, it's job is to lower total rendering resolution, by lowing the resolution of areas the developers think you will look at less. If you don't notice a difference then they did a good job.

From the thread 11 below yours, called “VRS?”

So, does it look better if I turn it up or down?

If it works well it won’t look any different, but you’ll get a boost in performance.

Well still, whats the difference between 2x and 4x?

VRS is variable rate shading. it increases performance. while also lowering visual quality https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/variable-rate-shading-vrs-definition-nvidia-graphics,6342.html

VRS is variable rate shading, basically is a technique to improve performance.

In lame's term, the game will render the shaders at higher quality where it matters the most and lower it's settings automatically in parts where you probably won't be looking. So in the same image, textures, and shadows would be higher quality right in front of you in the middle of the screen, but will be lower in the corners, in the ceiling above you and places that the player won't be paying attention to anyway. It's dynamic and adjust from place to place.

Imagine dynamic resolution, right? That adjust according to your performance to maintain frame rate, but this time is with the overall graphics quality in a smart way.

It can also get affect by movement... When standing still, graphics settings will look higher than during fast movement as you won't be able to see small details anyway.

So.. turning on, does compromise image quality to certain degree while try to make it imperceptible in order to provide better performance.

lol you have no idea, do you?

4x will give you the best performance boost, followed by 2x. VRS in this title only works on transparencies such as fire effects and the fire atop your lighter. You will only see a boost in performance when transparencies are on screen.
