- The new Decky -free scaling plugin improves performance in Elden Ring at 18W
- The image frequencies went from 40 IPS to 75 images per second during tests on the Lenovo Legion Go S, as shown by YouTuber Eta Prime
- We have not seen how it works on Amd Ryzen Z2
The Modding Steamos community continues to ensure that the Valve platform offers the best portable game console experience, thanks to new plugins like Decky Loader to improve performance – and this is true, we focus again on loss -free scaling.
As presented by YouTuber Eta Prime (via Notebookcheck), the new Lossless Decky scaling plugin, which is available on Github, increases Elden ring‘s Frequency of images from 40 IPS to 75 frames per second to a TDP (or energy consumption) of 18W on the Lenovo Legion Go S. This is the Extreme AMD Ryzen Z1 model, with 32 GB of RAM and officially propelled by steamos, rather than windows.
Performance reinforces that they are too beautiful to be true, but everything is possible thanks to the generation capacities of a loss scaling frame. It should also be noted how impressive 18W is impressive in games like Elden ring And Cyberpunk 2077 (Both approaching the frequencies of three -digit images). This greatly helps to considerably improve the battery life by using less power, all without major compromise on performance.
To watch
Most frame generation models are delivered with ghost warnings and input offsets, with NVIDIA and AMD measurements to reduce these problems.
Fortunately, when the basic image frequencies in the games are high enough, ghosts, artefacts and input offset become less apparent. And this is what the Extreme Ryzen Z1 processor (also probably using 32 GB of RAM) can help players to achieve. Microsoft Windows 11 is not used here either, which has lower performance for games compared to Steamos.
I tested this DECKY -free scaling plugin on my Asus ROG ALLY, and it is easily given to my new breath to my other. Games like the Resident Evil 4 The remake, which is slightly difficult to exceed 40 or 50 frames per second, can now reach more than 100 frames per second. Yes, an entry delay is present, but I can say that it is not significant or notable, because the basic image frequencies are not too weak.
Analysis: It will be interesting to see how it is achieved on extreme pocket computers of Ryzen Z2
I have already declared how much the game PCs become far too expensive when you consider performance increases compared to previous generation processors. Spoiler alert, upgrades are not very significant, as shown in MSI Claw A8 benchmarks. However, I am intrigued to see how Decky loss -free scaling works with an extreme Z2 pocket computer.
While the new plugin is ideal for all pocket computers, including the Steam bridge, some games that are badly optimized, as Dogma of the Dragon 2 Or Monster Hunter WildsNeed an additional push of more powerful processors. The Ryzen Z2 Extreme does not have a huge jump on its predecessor, but it will probably have a huge impact when using a tool such as loss -free scaling.
Unfortunately, MSI Claw A8 is currently in most regions and is apparently only available in Germany and other European retailers. I have my eye on the Lenovo Legion Go S, using the Z1 Extreme, but stocks and prices are the two main problems.
Until these problems are resolved, the loss -free scaling on my Asus Rog Ally Running Bazzite is perfectly good for me.
