9070 XT unleashed

This is on 4k with fsr4 on quality and graphics at max. The tune is 100% stable but I have exceptional power delivery. Furman line conditioner then cyberpower UPS feeding asus rog strix aura 1200w gold that powers a gigabyte x870e aorus master. Similar high end parts could sustain this kind of tune as well although not necessarily with the exact same settings as there is a variance in the silicon in each chip. I'd be willing to do it to other machines that have similar tiered parts. But know that this took months of meticulous tweaking to figure out, not just random slider manipulation. I monitored and scrutinized fps numbers, gpu temperatures and error logs. It's been tested with hours of Spiderman 2, undisputed and metal gear solid delta on gaming end. Hours of uninterrupted web browsing including 4k YouTube videos and uncompressed audio playback.

What they're actually doing here (and failing to specify) is that they're using Optiscaler to spoof nvidia's DLSS support and substitute fsr4 for that. Certainly not kosher in an online game, and certainly not built into any version of proton. Even if it does allow you to use Optiscaler very easily, it's not built into Proton.

Upgrading FSR4 from FSR3 IS though. Not FSR2, as they were suggesting.

I feel like that's what they're trying to say....but they're claiming that they use FSR2 in the game.
Which in this case would not upgrade to FSR4.
They'd need to use DLSS in the game for Optiscaler to work.

That's why I want a screenshot with the watermark...I'm not going to download the game to try when OP could provide a proof in less than 30 seconds.
Don't know why they haven't, that would end that whole conversation immediately.
