Performance:
OBS recording eats up about 5% to 10% performance. It runs very well on Linux on this setup. AMD FSR 2.0 works very well. It may not be very noticeable in the video but it makes the game look great on lower resolutions. It even boosts the performance in 4K with about 15% set to balanced. I used the GloriousEggroll Proton primarily for other games and saw no difference in performance compared to the standard one from Valve. Steam Launch options used: "MANGOHUD_CONFIG=full mangohud %command%"
