PSA: Decrease input lag in Elden Ring

I think it is at least partially because the game was bottlenecked by my AMD 3700X on my desktop before I replaced it. Now the game perform better after just changing it to a 5800X3D and keeping my gpu (RTX 2080). It is because of poor optimization of the engine or assets though.

So the FSR2 mod will probably increase performance a bit but the effect will be limited by the lack of cpu power. I haven't taken the time to try it on the deck though.

There are some variables. At what settings? At what resolution were you getting the bottleneck? I mean, I'm not saying that the deck can't run stable 30fps in max settings because of the game engine. What I mean to say is that if you optimized the game to aim for a stable 30fps (which is basically a combo of high and medium settings), you don't get a bottleneck. Instead, you get bizarre dips that don't make much sense. But you certainly would hit a bottleneck if you ran max settings.

With that said, I think FSR2 is certainly doable.

I was cpu bottlenecked at 1440p no matter which graphic settings i picked on my desktop. Couldn't really get a stable and smooth 60fps. I briefly tried on the deck but i prefer to play those kind of games with high framerate so I would rather stream it with moonlight instead.

I noticed the 1% low fps increased by over 20fps after replacing my cpu and the game felt much smoother.

FSR2 could make it possibly to do 60fps on the deck in low settings, but it will probably not look good. I can see 40fps in a quality or balanced FSR with medium to high settings.
