Forspoken was a bit rocky on PS5, so how does it fare on PC? digitalfoundry explains:

play better than the PS5 version - at least on high-end hardware. However, there are also some serious issues unique to the PC release that need to be addressed.

Let’s start with image quality options. DLSS , FSR and even XeSS are provided depending on your GPU, but despite being a net positive each suffers from some issues.For example, FSR image resolve exhibits problems with transparency effects such as particles, so things like fire can look much worse with FSR compared to DLSS or XeSS.

Dynamic resolution scaling is another rare inclusion for a PC port, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work correctly in either the launch or patched versions of the game. In the launch code, the option only actually did something when used with native resolution plus TAA, but you could still toggle it on for some reason when DLSS, FSR or XeSS is engaged - quite confusing for the user.
