Baldur's Gate 3 has been everywhere lately, and it's pretty safe to say it's one of the best PC games of all time. And while we've already explored the best Steam Deck settings for the massive RPG, what about the rest of us playing the game on a more traditional gaming PC?

Having the best processor or graphics card possible will go a long way to making the game more enjoyable during the more... busy parts of the late game.

If you're playing on with a high-resolution display like one of the best gaming monitors, turning down the resolution might be the first step to a higher frame rate. Luckily, there are two super handy tools to make stepping down to a lower resolution a breeze: FSR, or FidelityFX Super Resolution, and DLSS, or Deep Learning Super Sampling. These technologies come from AMD and Nvidia, respectively, and essentially render the game at a lower resolution, then upscale the image back to your native resolution.

The AMD FSR solution in Baldur's Gate 3 leaves a lot to be desired, mostly because it's still using version 1.0, and not the much better FSR 2.0. However, even if it does result in a bit of a softer image, enabling it can really help boost performance, especially at higher resolutions.

The DLSS implementation is much better, which shouldn't be surprising given the
