EGL Filters tab
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The EGL Filters tab is a GUI for enabling, configuring and ordering
the post-processing filter stack. Each filter can be expanded to open
its settings. Filters can also be re-ordered by dragging them up or down.
Filters application is cumulative, and order is important (e.g. applying CAS
before FSR might have different results than the reverse). Users are
encouraged to experiment with the order and parameters to achieve optimal
results. The currently available filters include:
The EGL Filters tab contains options for toggling, configuring, and ordering
post-processing filters. Each filter can be expanded to open its settings.
Filters can also be re-ordered by dragging them up or down. Filters are applied
from top to bottom, keep this in mind when ordering them. (applying CAS before
FSR might have different results than the reverse). Users are encouraged to
experiment with the order and parameters to achieve optimal results. The
currently available filters include:
- Downscaler: Filter for downscaling the host resolution. Can be used to undo
poor upscaling on the VM to better utilize AMD FSR (see below). The filter
has a pixel-size setting that is used to set the effective downscaling ratio,
and a configurable interpolation algorithm.
- AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR): A spatial upcaling filter that works
on low resolution frames from the guest VM and intelligently upscales to a
higher resolution. The filter sharpness is tunable, and displays the
equivalent AMD quality mode based on the resolution difference.
- Downscaler: Filter for downscaling resolution. Can be used to undo the
poor upscaling that some games implement such that it can then
be better upscaled using FSR (see below). The filter has a pixel-size setting
that is used to set the effective downscaling ratio and can be set to use
different downscaling algorithms.
- AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR): Filter implementing a rendering
technique for upscaling resolution. FSR works by accepting the original
frames (on the guest) at lower resolution, then applying a spatial upscaling
algorithm in the client to make the final result look as though it is
rendered in high-resolution. The FSR filter interface allows for fine
tuning the sharpness factor of the algorithm and shows the equivalent
quality mode based on the ratio between the original frame resolution
and the client resolution.
- AMD FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS): Filter that
increases visual quality by applying a sharpening algorithm to the
frame. CAS can sometimes restore detail lost in a typical upscaling
application. The CAS filter interface has an adjustable sharpness
control.

The filter stack settings and order can be saved to presets so that it
can be conveniently recalled at a later time. As filter settings are
usually application specific, multiple presets can be defined for each
case scenario. To save a preset, click on "Save preset as..." and enter
a preset name. Presets are recalled by selecting them in the "Preset name"
pull down. Presets are persistent and are stored on disk at
