You know when you get a small image and try to stretch it out to fit your document and it goes all blurry/pixelated? That is similar to if you set your resolution scale below 100%.

Setting a lower resolution scale (<100%) will render that game at a lower resolution and then fit it to your screen. Your performance will increase as you reduce this since the rendering requirements decrease for your GPU. Depending on the game, art style, your monitor – you may not notice a difference in picture quality.
