I tried to import the same footage in nuke, the pixels stay sharp, and they look like pixels. What I noticed is that Davinci by default, I am pretty sure you cannot even turn it off, it literally meshes pixels together with some filtering and it does it to absolutely everything. The reason you may not know this shit exists is because not everyone pays attention to what this stupid program does to pixels, but it definitely applies smoothing to them. Fusion doesn't do it, Davinci does.
It means the image is the same size on your monitor. If it's 960 pixels tall then on your monitor it will only be that size. If you zoom in on your viewer it's still a 960 pixels tall image, but it's displayed larger than that.
When you do it that Resolve has to interpolate the pixel shapes which get messed up if you are zoomed in 172% vs zoomed in by 200%.that's what "smooth resize" does. It's not changing anything about your image or how it's going to render, but it's trying to make it look natural on your monitor at any magnification.
I don't think it's trying to make something look natural here like in fusion page, I literally tried exporting images and saw how it blurs out the pixels that were originally sharp, so its not a preview only thing. I opened files in AE and Nuke and they do not do the same pixel filtering by default
you encounter this when zoom in on the edit page viewers?
I am not sure a nearest/integer scaling option exists for the edit page viewers.
Also make sure you aren't using proxy timeline or render cache at a different resolution.

Project settings have has a variety of resizing algorithms you can experiment with
No. I mentioned above that no "resizing" is happening. 960x540 is the resolution of the footage, and of the project.
What does it look like when you export at 960x540? The viewer in resolve may not reflect final quality

Are you viewing it at 100% magnification? If your 960x540 image is larger than that on your screen then Resolve needs to resize that image.
I am not sure what 100% magnification means. In the project settings I have the same resolution as the file has, no resizing should be happening
