Games run WORSE when using this?

[-Golden Armor-]

So i've tried at least 5 games @ 720p and the following settings:
Scale type: FSR
Sharpness: 1
Scale Factor; Custom 1.5

Literally every game i tried runs worse than playing it at it's normal resolution, is there something wrong? im playing on a 1080p display too btw.

I had the same problem. Tried it in Hitman 3 and Diablo 2 Resurrected, in both cases I lost 40-50 fps and got a ton of input lag.

I'm using Windows 11 preview build, that might be the issue. I followed that guide and still have the same problem.

Ok so quick update, i checked your suggestions on your Guide and, believe it or not, apparently disabling The Steam Overlay got rid of the problem.

While im still a bit confused about how some stuffs work and, if my eyes weren't playing a placebo effect on me, i could see a BIG improvement in FPS across all games i played with mostly minimal visual issues (as in, i couldn't really notice i was playing on a lower resolution)

Still a bit bummed out i can't use the overlay if i want to play at higher framerates, i usually use the overlay for chats and to play podcasts on the background, really helpful.

Thank you for the guide and for the help, i was about to add ya to ask you some more questions, but i wouldn't really like to be too bothersome, only thing i would like to request is for you to add the optional "turn off the steam overlay" section on your guide, i might've missed that on the official instructions but im not 100% sure.

😭🥲...Now don't get Ya'll emotional on me.
M really Glad it worked.!
@SpaceCoastToast.. Thanks for ur Fabulous Comment. ALSO : For Unreal Engine Games..do not use FSR.... Unreal Engine has inbuilt Upscaling method...Looks much Better than FSR.. It is TAAU.. U can google it...How to use TAAU in Unreal Games.

@Golden_Armor... Really Thanks for Reminding me about Overlays..I was going to add it in the guide but it just slipped my mind. Will do now. AlSO.. U can ask anything..it's what STEAM Community is about.. will be happy to help.

I'm having this issue too.
Tested all settings, but scaled mode is worst than the windowed. This is exactly the opposite of wat I've wanted with this program.

I am having this issue currently, weirdly it works GREAT at first but the moment I alt tab out then back into the game its laggy and unplayable.
