Pacific Drive FSR Blur and Texture Smoothing
Driving in Pacific Drive at 4K on my Sapphire Radeon RX 590 GME 8G D5 Platinum Aurora Special Edition felt like looking through a foggy window. FSR Quality mode was over-smoothing the vehicle's metal textures, losing all the gritty detail. I tried switching to FSR Balanced mode to gain 8 FPS, but the blur got even worse, making the game look worse than ever. That was a bad move. I used GamePP DLSS/FSR Image Sampling Calibrator to raise the FSR Sharpening value from 50 to 72 and set the in-game Render Resolution to 100%. RivaTuner confirmed the effective render pixels increased, and the visual comparison showed sharp, crisp textures without artifacts.
