They pointed out Cronos was blurry using Proton. Looking at the footage, the same was true of Balder's Gate 3. What's up with that? Just a matter of sharpening? The resolution does seem to be the same by looking at the aliasing.
FSR2 looks like trash all around. I don't understand why it's so common and why FSR 3.1 isn't included, given how so many workarounds exist when you tinker with 3rd party apps to enable the functionality work so well.
Windows/Linux comparison footage both used FSR2 though, I guess it's the half rate shading?
I will say half-rate shade render or whatever it's called was a game changer being turn off. Between my bad eyes and playing on a hand held I thought reading text just wasn't going to happen. Turns out I'm not THAT blind and it was just that setting
The worst part is while variable shading can help... The fixed half shading on the Steam Deck's APU barely gives any performance benefits at all. It will make everything look horrendous on many games, and net you pretty much zero FPS. Keep it always off.
Is that enabled by default? Not on my Deck, maybe I turned it off a long time ago.
It was default!
