Steam Deck fans, you're in for a good one - AMD's FSR 3 frame generation is now available on Valve's handheld thanks to a new Decky plugin

It will make it *look* more fluid. It will feel 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 would be quite noticeable.

Seems nobody knows

Lol, thank you for taking the hit for most of us.

Ditto.

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

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

Too close to home. Lol

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

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

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?

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.

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

*In games running on Unreal Engine 5

Been waiting for this. For those who want to install it before it is officially released. Download the zip file from their GitHub, Enable the developer option in decky loader then choose install plugin from zip file

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