Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals
JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks agoOfficial support would require AMD dropping the RDNA 4 gpu core requirement from FSR4.
Even if it did happen, there would be quite a small overlap between games that have FSR4 and ones that are able to run on the Deck well enough in the first place.

Well I’ve just learned that you already had FSR 1-2 in Steam OS without adding any plugin. So I guess what I was talking about is already there but I’m just not using it😅

FSR1 is a simple frame upscaler, it’s used as one of the methods for resizing the image when you render something at s lower resolution and stretch it to full screen.
FSR 2 and 3 are temporal (time based), they need to be implemented directly by the game engine but if they do (like Deep Rock Galactic), they work on the deck.
FSR4 officially needs an RDNA 4 based gpu, which the deck doesn’t have, but the plugin/mod converts DLSS in to RDNA 3 compatible version of if.

Well thanks for all these infos.
I guess I’d need to improve my knowledge for such things.
