The Steam Deck is great, but it still feels like a bit of a work in progress. The good news is that it has indeed progressed since its release. Valve’s updates have added much-requested features and new compatibility, and one of those updates helped improve performance and visual quality with the introduction of AMD’s Fidelity FX Super Resolution, or FSR.
If you are having trouble balancing a usable frame rate and an acceptable resolution for your favorite games – especially when playing on a monitor – then the Steam Deck’s FSR compatibility could make a huge difference.

Step 2: In the menu, move down until you reach the Performance section, indicated by the battery icon.
Step 3: In the Performance section, select the Advanced view option to see all the possible features.
Step 4: Scroll down until you get to the Scaling filter slider. Slide this all the way to the right to the setting that says FSR.
Step 5: Note that right below this section there is an option for FSR sharpness. For now, you can…
