Assassin's Creed Odyssey Linux - gameplay [Steam Play Proton] - VKBasalt
Assassin's Creed Odyssey with Steam Play Proton, the Linux compatibility layer from Valve.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey settings for stable FPS (custom HIGH settings).
Please note that the game is rendered at 90% (1821x1024) with custom settings for a near 60fps experience on a GTX 970. The final image is then enhanced via Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening to avoid blurry image via VKBASALT (see VKBASALT chapter below).
The video shows different stage of the game such as a naval battle, a horse riding, a conquest battle, a camp attack. So you can judge the performance for the whole game.
Actual FPS is mostly in the 50-75 FPS range
The game is running on a I7 3770 + GTX 970 (see "PC CONFIGURATION" and
"GRAPHIC SETTINGS" below for details).
Note that this video is recorded with a cheap capture card .. The video image is not the highest quality but there is no frame loss during recording.

VKBASALT
config : CAS 0.9
references: https://github.com/DadSchoorse/vkBasalt
The image being calculated in 900p we use VKBASALT to sharpen the overall image using CAS value 0.9 (Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening the equivalent of AMD fidelity FX algorithm).
The game is rendered at 90% that means 1821x1024 (1080x1920x0.9 gives 90% of the total pixels, then keeping the aspect ratio constant will get you a resolution of 1821x1024)
VIDEO
Rendered in 1821x1024 = 1920x1080 (90% of total pixels).
Recorded with a cheap external capture card at 1080p 60fps.
Edited with Kdenlive.
Why 90% of 1080p?
The rendering at 1821x1024 boost the frame rate of the game allowing a near 60fps experience but shown in 1080p it makes the game looks a bit blurry ...
That's why we use VKBasalt to enhance the image via Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening.
The image is enhanced using VKBasalt CAS at value 0.9.
CAS meaning Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening: the equivalent of AMD fidelity FX algorithm.
This way you gain FPS without losing image clarity.
