I ran those frame-rate tests with v-sync off, allowing for valid benchmarking of the various permutations.

Native resolution 720p delivers 22fps - or 73 percent of TSR performance’s throughput.

Alternatively, Nanite geometry or virtual shadows can be disabled too.

This should mean good things or bad things for the Deck.
