...Instead of relying on the upscaling method originally integrated by a game developer, the software intercepts the game’s rendering pipeline and redirects it to alternative technologies chosen by the user. This makes it possible to swap technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, or Intel XeSS even if the game only supports one of them by default. The tool effectively acts as a compatibility layer between the game engine and multiple upscaling frameworks, enabling cross-GPU access to features that might otherwise be restricted to specific hardware ecosystems. In addition to replacing upscalers, OptiScaler can enable frame generation features in titles that do not officially support them, improving frame rates and perceived smoothness during gameplay.

The CryoUtilities repository is a collection of scripts and graphical utilities developed to help Steam Deck owners optimize the performance of their handheld gaming systems and manage storage more easily under SteamOS (and other Linux distributions in a best-effort manner). It provides tools to tweak memory management parameters such as swap size and swappiness, adjust HugePages and kernel memory behaviors, and free up space by cleaning leftover game data, shader caches, and compatibility data for uninstalled titles. The utilities aim to balance performance and system responsiveness, especially in gaming scenarios where constrained RAM and storage throughput can cause stutters or slow load times. ...
