Analysis — The Picture in The House on the Steam Machine

CPU vs GPU

Adventure games spend their budget on atmosphere rather than speed. On the RX 7600-class GPU, lighting quality and resolution cost the most, so FSR Quality is the trade to make if native looks soft.

Room to push

Spend the headroom on a 1440p output with FSR Quality; an adventure game shows resolution more than frame-rate.
