@killyourfm I was gonna yell at the iGPU but then I realized that if Steam used the iGPU for encoding and the dGPU for rendering, there would *literally not be a performance delta*.
Beyond that, scaling up 720p to native-res should NOT take that much processing power.
Beyond deck-specific optimizations (SteamDeck=1 environment variable anyone?), seeing as the GPU in that laptop is LITERALLY 5 TIMES THE MUSCLE, *and* has dedicated memory, this shit is beyond me.
