# What is this repository about?
I wanted to kind of document + research + see how the Minimum Framerate Option in Halo Infinite affects overall performance.
## What is Minimum Framerate? (DRS)
DRS or Dynamic Resolution Scaling is a feature in Halo Infinite which makes the game dynamically adjust the render resolution to hit said minimum framerate.
Its kind of a hit or miss, DRS can also induce stuttering due the resolution being adjusted constantly, if it is struggling to maintain the minimum framerate.
## Testing DRS
### Let me go over the testing bench here:
System:
> i7-10700K
> GTX 1650
> 24 GB @ 2667 MHz
> 75 Hz Monitor.
Halo Infinite Settings:
> Everything set to Low + Options which can be turned off are turned off.
> Render Resolution > 71%
> Sharpening: 100%
> Sensory Effects are disabled.
> Game was played at `1920x1080` and `1600x900` **Display Resolutions**. (Not Render Resolution.)
Map:
> Fragmentation
> Player was set to stand Idle, with the crosshair looking directly at the structure.
## Benchmarks
### Fragementation > `Halo Infinite Vanilla Settings`
### FPS
### Percentage
### Observations
1. It seems using the Minimum Framerate boosted overall 0.2% Lows (Percentile).
2. We can see `1600x900 Uncapped Min FPS > 75` offers overall better stability and a decent performance boost as compared to `1920x1080 Uncapped`.
3. `1920x1080 Uncapped Min FPS > 75` & `1600x900 Uncapped Min FPS > 75` offers similar performance but `1600x900 Uncapped Min FPS > 75` has better 0.2% Lows.
### Fragementation > `Halo Infinite Vanilla Settings + Minimum Framerate set to 960`
You can set the Minimum Framerate to 960 in Halo Infinite's config file.
```json
"spec_control_minimum_framerate": {
"version": 2,
"value": 960
},
```
### FPS
### Percentage
### Observations
1. DRS works more aggressively when the Minimum Framerate is set to 960.
2. `1600x900 Min FPS > 960` takes performance out of the ball park as compared to the other tests.
3. `1600x900 Uncapped Min FPS > 75`'s Avg. FPS is equal to the `1920x1080 Min FPS > 960`'s 0.2 Lows.
4. Overall playing the game at `1920x1080` with the minimum framerate set to 960 yields a 58% performance boost.
And playing at `1600x900` with the minimum framerate set to 960 yields 76% performance boost.
## Downsides with having Minimum Framerate at 960.
With having your minimum framerate at 960, Dynamic Resolution Scaling aka DRS tends to work more aggressively, but there are downsides to this.
1. You might experience the game somewhat stuttering but that isn't case, its the game simply bumping/decreasing the render resolution at more aggressive rate instead of gently.
2. With Min FPS set to `960` and DRS acting very aggressively, the game won't exactly scale to your specified render resolution, it will be slightly lower, resulting in a slightly blurry image.
To fix this simply use the ingame sharpening option, use values between `60% ~ 100%`.
