[1080p Benchmark] Cronos: The New Dawn | RTX 5070 Ti / R7 5800x3D | DLAA Ovr, DLSS 4, FSR 4, SS-AA
2Cronos: The New Dawn, a new horror surival experience, developed by the polish studio Bloober Team. This game is running on Unreal Engine 5, having support for Super-Sampling, DLSS 4, FSR 3.1 and XeSS 2.0.2 and Ray Tracing. Testing at 1080p resolution.
DLSS supports Frame gen and Multi-Frame Gen. Unfortunately at the time of this Benchmark, FSR 3.1 Frame Generation does not work. Going to try out Optiscaler to test out FSR 4.

Game also has Nvidia Smooth Motion support, but I'll not be testing this in this benchmark.
Used DLSS Swapper to switch to latest version of DLSS 4, FSR 3.1 and XeSS 2.0.2 * https://dlssswapper.com/ *
DLSS 4 version 310.4
FSR 3.1 version 1.0.2.38022 » FSR 4 version 4.0.2 (Optiscaler)
XeSS 2.0.2 version 2.0.2.53
I just started to experiment with Optiscaler and the game seems to work, replacing FSR 3.1 with FSR 4.0.2
