Depends on the technique used. Temporal methods don’t look this way but standard downscaling can.


I don’t really see how. What do you mean by “temporal methods”?


By temporal I refer to DLSS, FSR, TSR, etc. In this game's case, I imagine it's not as simple as downscaling, there is probably some shader work involved similar to this:

DLSS, FSR, TSR are for upscaling, not downscaling, so I’m not sure how they would apply anyway.

The creator hints a bit at things in this video: https://youtu.be/v9FMp5QgOvY?t=2m55s


Temporal sampling techniques do (in supported titles) have the option to supersample and generate higher resolution images, but they are most commonly used to efficiently downsample for FPS gains with minimal quality degradation.

From the Wikipedia page for DLSS:

The goal of these technologies is to allow the majority of the graphics pipeline to run at a lower resolution for increased performance, and then infer a higher resolution image from this that approximates the same level of detail as if the image had been rendered at this higher resolution. This allows for higher graphical settings and/or frame rates for a given output resolution, depending on user preference.
