[FSR]
; AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution
ACTIVE=0 ; Active; 1 or 0; not available with IS_LIVE__
OLD_IMPLEMENTATION=1 ; Old implementation (old implementation is based on some early mod adding FSR to GTA V with MIT license, new one is based on official SDK and it seems like it might produce worse results); 1 or 0
QUALITY=0.667 ; Quality (resolution multiplier is in brackets); "Ultra Quality (88%)" is 0.883, "Quality (75%)" is 0.75, "Balanced (66%)" is 0.667, "Performance (50%)" is 0.5; visible with OLD_IMPLEMENTATION; not available with IS_LIVE__
SHARPEN=-1 ; Sharpness; Auto is -1, Very low is 0.15, Low is 0.3, Medium is 0.5, High is 0.7, Very high is 0.85; visible with OLD_IMPLEMENTATION
QUALITY2=0.77 ; Quality (resolution multiplier is in brackets); "Custom Quality (87%)" is 0.87, "Ultra Quality (77%)" is 0.77, "Quality (67%)" is 0.67, "Balanced (59%)" is 0.59, "Performance (50%)" is 0.5; hidden with OLD_IMPLEMENTATION; not available with IS_LIVE__

__HINT_BOTTOM=Custom MSAA resolve applies a tonemapping fix to improve MSAA quality close to bright areas (<url="https://mynameismjp.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/msaa-overview/">more details</url>). Custom kerner improves quality further, but it would slightly reduce performance. ;; hidden
