    The plugin isn’t available on the plugin store yet, and has to be downloaded manually from the github.

    Also general reminder that framegen isn’t recommended to be used under 60fps according to AMD. It will work, but you can get really bad input lag. It’ll depend on your own tolerance for input lag and the type of game for whether this will be a viable option for you.

      the tragedy of frame gen. works the worst when you need it the most.

        The (fps) rich get richer while the (fps) poor are left behind, the true tragedy of our times.

      Additionally, the artefacts that appear onscreen are more noticeable as that frame is there there for longer, as opposed to if you went from a base FPS of 100 and took it up to 120 with frame-gen.

      Could be good for Bazzite on desktop maybe?

    So… What does this mean to us dumb people? Can I install this and BG3 will be nicer?

      Frame generation will make your game feel more fluid at (minor) expense to input lag by generating “in between” frames. It works like Nvidia’s DLSS 3 but on any graphics card because AMD open sources it

        It will make it look more fluid. It feels like it’s running at a lower framerate, and at the framerates BG3 runs at on the Deck, around 25fps or 40ms per frame, the increase is quite noticeable.

      Curious to see if this could technically make Stalker 2 playable on the Steam Deck.

        It wouldn’t, playability is related to actual frames, generated frames don’t take input.

    I fucking love you for this. I’ve been waiting patiently.

    I wonder if there’s any significant impact to battery life
